Mastering Bitcoin is the title of two books written by Andreas Antonopoulos and published by O'Reilly Media.

Publication history

[edit]

Mastering Bitcoin (Mastering Bitcoin: Unlocking Digital Cryptocurrencies) was published in December 2014 by O'Reilly Media.[1]

Mastering Bitcoin, 2nd Edition (Mastering Bitcoin: Programming the Open Blockchain) was published in June 2017 by O'Reilly Media.[2]

Synopsis

[edit]

Reception

[edit]

A review of the first edition of the book from The Next Web stated that "if you’re just getting into the more technical aspects of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency and are looking for one book that gives a broad overview of Bitcoin, from fundamentals to deeper dives on specific developments, then Andreas Antonopoulos’: “Mastering Bitcoin” is a good place to start. [...] You’ll learn more than just the Bitcoin protocol and also look at decentralized networks, peer-to-peer architecture, and beyond."[3]

A review of the second edition of the book from ASIS International stated that "In the second edition of Mastering Bitcoin: Programming the Open Blockchain, author Andreas Antonopoulos creates a first-class Bitcoin reference. It provides the reader with a comprehensive understanding of what Bitcoin is, how it works, and how to use it. [..] Antonopoulos provides the reader with a deep technical dive and does a good job of explaining the difference between Bitcoin (a digital currency) and blockchain (its public transaction ledger). People confuse the two, thinking they are the same. [...] The book is written for end users who want to understand the technology and programmers who want to create technologies and software to operate within the Bitcoin ecosystem. There is a good amount of software code in the book. Those who lack the programming background can simply skip those sections."[4]

The London School of Economics Business Review wrote that the second edition of the book was an "excellent technical guide".[5]

The book has been widely cited in scholarly articles.[6]
