Couldn’t understand a word
You really need some background in computing and computer-speak or it’s all double Dutch. If like me, you have little knowledge on this subject, it’s not going to enlighten you.

Rlies on the Internet
Seems like a good book but I get the impression that the authors want you to invest in it. I had to go to the internet to find the problems with Bitcoin. You can have a fortune in Bitcoin and one solar flare or something knocks out the internet and you are out all that money. Bitcoin is not a physical thing but numbers on a computer. It’s probably safe from hackers but I’m not ready to bet everything on that. Your account is backed up on computers all over the world, but I’ll bet that a knowledgeable hacker could write a virus that would attack those computers and scramble the codes required for access. At any rate I’ve personally lost interest.
