Good Fast Overall View
Liked the book, and the general sense of direction. It emphasizes BTC all throughout, yes its a BTC book. However, I disagree with one commandment out of all "don't speculate." All crypto$ are speculation, including btc being poised to become the gold of the 21st century. We got a ways to go, and the drawdowns and volatility just confirms that the thing (however one interprets it) is far away from being a certain long term decentralized currency network. Things don't run for free, everyone will charge a fee in any economy and as long as there are nations and not a single entity, decentralized currency will run within an anarchist realm. Regardless, good book I recommend reading it before the end of 2022, after that who knows what changes....

It's got information, but I don't think it's very useful
It gives some facts, it tells a little bit of a story, but if you're looking for something that will help you understand how to purchase Bitcoin, or store it, or understand security aspects of how and why, this is not the book.I haven't been able to find a good book out there yet, that will explain effectively what are the best ways to purchase bitcoins or other virtual currencies, how to store them, what the dangers and drawbacks are, or even the advantages except in very loose terms.It would be really nice to get a book out there for beginners, to explain to them how bitcoins are created, why there's a limited number, and then the technology behind the different currency exchanges and coin repositories.Also something describing and exploring storage devices.There is a case of an individual who stored several bitcoins, their digital signatures on a thumb drive, and then accidentally through it away. It's now worth more than a million dollars I believe, and he's been digging through piles of garbage over in Europe and trying to get permission to excavate a garbage dump.It would be nice to explain to people why this happened, and why he can't recover it, or why there isn't a copy.None of that really appears to be handled in this book. So you're left with a person's description of Bitcoin that basically says it's cool, and everything but doesn't explain to you how it really works, in functional detail and what the advantages and drawbacks are to the different methods of storing it. Let alone, how to move it across international lines, or the different countries or banks, or financial institutions where you can redeem it.

Solid and informative
This is a most informative and interesting book. I have read a couple of other "must reads" on Bitcoin and I have finally began to realized what a major game-changer Bitcoin really is. This book was the 3rd book I've read and I found it to be an excellent source of practical advise.In fact I have recommended all three books to my closest friends and family. In doing so I summarize these books this way. The first book (What's the big deal about Bitcoin?) is an easy read and great intro. The second book (The Bitcoin Standard) is a classic must read and is surely NOT an easy read but absolutely necessary. And the third book (The only Bitcoin investing book you will ever need) is an excellent book that brings things into a proper perspective. The book is readable without overly simplifying a complicated subject but at the same time it does a great job of explaining concepts without bogging down in the complex issues that often surround cryptocurrencies.I found it to be a valued addition to my growing library of books on this subject. I highly recommend it.
