Cryptoassets: The Innovative Investor's Guide to Bitcoin and Beyond Hardcover – 15 November 2017

One of the best book

Whatever there is to learn about crypto is already out there in the internet. To get one's feet wet, all one has to do is to surf the internet. However the knowledge to navigate across the world of crypto is ever expanding and it is scattered across twitter, reddit, medium, telegram, slack, stack exchange & many crypto-specific websites. And evaluating these assets can be problematic because cryptos cuts across multiple disciplines and traditional valuation methods & metrics are unhelpful to validate these assets.Crypto-assets sets out to consolidate these scattered information and provide a holistic view of the world of Crypto-assests.From a beginner's perspective, this book works well. It basically provides the case why Crypto-assests is a new Asset class and why it should be considered in one's portfolio from Modern Portfolio theory perspective. It takes us through various cryptos from its inception, their use cases, developers & its target market. Shares the similarities and dissimilarities with other assets classes from historical perspective.What really works in this book is that it provides the right framework and tools to validate & analyse these Crypto-assets. Also provides some good metrics to detect scams in the Wild World of ICOs.Will this stand the test of time like Benjamin Grahman's "The Intelligent Investor"? Its very highly unlikely. However given that even few books written about this space and even fewer tools to validate these assets, I think the writers have accomplished in educating the readers about this asset class (especially from an investment point of view). Highly recommended if you're interested in cryptos.

If you want to understand crypto and its place in modern portfolio this is a book for you
