Synopsis

A TOP FINANCE BOOK OF 2022 by THE NEXT BIG IDEA CLUB
A SABEW BEST IN BUSINESS BOOK AWARDS FINALIST

A straightforward, practical guide to the newest frontier in investment strategy—crypto—from #1 New York Times bestselling author and personal finance expert Ric Edelman.

Blockchain and bitcoin are here to stay—and as the Bank of England stated, this new technology could “transform the global financial system.” No wonder PWC says blockchain technology will add $2 trillion to the world’s $80 trillion economy by 2030. Indeed, blockchain technology and the digital assets it makes possible are revolutionary, the most profound innovation for commerce since the invention of the internet.

And yet, the average investor—and the investment advisors who manage two-thirds of all their money—aren’t aware of all this, or of the incredible investment opportunities now available. Fortunately, Ric Edelman, one of the most influential experts in the financial field, shows investors how they can engage and thrive in today’s new investment marketplace.

Featuring the prophetic insights you’d expect from one of most acclaimed financial advisors, The Truth About Crypto is fun to read and easy to understand—and most importantly gives readers the sound, practical advice we all need to succeed with this new asset class. Best of all, Edelman shows how blockchain works, the difference between digital currency and digital assets, and a comprehensive look at every aspect of the field. This book is a must-read guide if you want to achieve investment success today.

Goodreads review by Jess on June 14, 2022

Strange to read - as someone who has a big anticapitalism bias in reading about economics, this definitely reads as as weird conservative/libertarian fantasy (currency that the gov't/FICA is far removed from, but will still step in when bitcoin is stolen, etc). I learned a lot, but there's a big arg......more

Normally if a book is entertaining and informative, I'll give it 5 stars.
