Bitcoin: Blockchain y su investigación by Félix Brezo, Yaiza Rubio

This book was published in 2017, so most of the technology shown is already history. And that’s precisely what I really like from the book itself, the “historical part” and the origin of the blockchain.

How is created Bitcoin address? How does it work the creation of the private & public keys and how are they known as wallets? And many other interesting questions.

Back then, we got some websites and services that were using Bitcoin as a payment method, and there was a beauty trend.

• The first half of the book is the best part, and I would say it’s still relevant due to the origin of this tech.
• The second half, on the other hand, I would say is “more optional” and for curious people. There are no learnings from this part, besides the trend that you can see we already had back in 2016/2017. Today in 2022 the tech (and projects using blockchain) has evolved a lot.

I would really like to read a new book with an updated investigation 5 years after the first edition.
