Expert financial guide to understand the technology, potential, and disruptive effects of crypto
In The Little Book of Bitcoin, founder and co-managing partner of SkyBridge Capital Anthony Scaramucci delivers a comprehensive guide to understand disruption in the financial industry as a result of the emergence and increasing prominence of digital asset technology. Drawing on his involvement in the SkyBridge Bitcoin Fund which has $310 million in assets under management, this book runs the gambit from basic concepts all the way to implications of decentralized finance on the financial industry and society as a whole.
In this book, readers will learn about:
- Hashes, blockchains, and mining, and how these three processes sync up like an orchestra to make global participation in crypto possible
- Bitcoin as digital gold, and its similarities and differences to other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum
- Trading different cryptocurrencies, both popular and lesser known, through centralized platforms like Binance and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms like Uniswap
- Promising technology to facilitate anonymized legitimacy called "zero knowledge proof" and how it works
The Little Book of Bitcoin is an essential up-to-date guide to digital assets and associated technologies for all individuals, from hedge fund managers to newcomer retail investors, seeking to understand and prepare for a new world of finance.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
