First Fifty Bitcoin Books

If you want to start your Bitcoin journey but are not sure where to begin...

The Bitcoin journey is a long one, and books are an essential part of it. Here is a chronological record of my Bitcoin literary education—the first fifty books.

I’m sharing this list because it did the trick for me. This particular sequence first got me intrigued, then opened my eyes, converted me into a maximalist, and led me to explore areas I had never visited before. Maybe it will do the same for you or someone you know.
