If you have selected this audiobook, you likely have already heard about Bitcoin. Maybe you found out about Bitcoin in financial circles since its value has increased rapidly, or perhaps you learned about its existence in a technological context, since Bitcoin is based on a revolutionary new technology called blockchain, or, like many, you may have heard about Bitcoin in the press due to the number of unique users, celebrities, and entrepreneurs who started using it recently. 

In recent years, Bitcoin has gone from being something that only a few tech nerds know to a revolutionary currency that has violently changed the way we think about the concept of money. 

If you have never heard of Bitcoin or if you only have a vague idea of how this new technology works, this is the audiobook for you. Here, I will guide you through the essential elements of how this new type of money works. I have helped many people start using Bitcoin, so I know where beginners are often confused, and I know the main questions you will have. 

Therefore, if you are not using cryptocurrencies yet, it is most likely due to the negative beliefs you have about it. Let's see some: 

• It is very risky. What happens if I buy money in cryptocurrencies and then they're banned worldwide? 
• I don't have a financial education, so I wouldn't know what I'm doing.
• A friend of a friend bought cryptocurrencies and lost everything. 
• The cryptocurrency issue is too new and challenging to understand, so you better wait a couple of years when everything is more transparent. 

All these statements are mere excuses for your inaction, and while you wait, more and more people become part of this revolution. Let me clarify that in this audiobook, we will discuss all the basic principles, and you do not need any specialized knowledge to understand the concepts I will teach you. 

This audiobook is intended for beginners who want to learn how to start using blockchain and other cryptocurrencies, so I will teach you everything you need to know to feel safe in this new ecosystem. Still, if you are looking for investment advice or insider information on what currencies will be the most successful, you will not find it in this audiobook. 

Instead of talking about investing, this audiobook will focus on how blockchain technology works and how you can start using it immediately.
