Falling down the Bitcoin rabbit hole is a strange experience. Like many others, I feel like I have learned more in the last couple of years studying Bitcoin than I have during two decades of formal education. The following lessons are a distillation of what Iโve learned. First published as an article series titled โWhat Iโve Learned From Bitcoin,โ what follows can be seen as a third edition of the original series. Like Bitcoin, these lessons arenโt a static thing. I plan to work on them periodically, releasing updated versions and additional material in the future.Bitcoin is an inexhaustible teacher, which is why I do not claim that these lessons are all-encompassing or complete. They are a reflection of my personal journey down the rabbit hole. There are many more lessons to be learned, and every person will learn something different from entering the world of Bitcoin. I hope that you will find these lessons useful and that the process of learning them by reading wonโt be as arduous and painful as learning them firsthand. Review: Great Perspective on Bitcoin - Overall I thought this was an interesting perspective on Bitcoin - I appreciated the fact that it was more philosophical, as there are already great books out there on the technical and financial components. I also appreciated that the book was a quick and easy read. Each section is nicely broken down and it was great being able to put the book down for a few days and pick it back up without missing a beat. Looking forward to the next book Gigi! Keep up the great work! โWhen I used to read fairy tales, I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one!โ Review: Dive in here to learn about bitcoin - I loved this book and (the author) Gigi's account of what he learned as he explored bitcoin. The writing is engaging and the order makes it easy to digest in well segmented "chunks". Browse and consume, flick forward, flick back - perfect! Firstly, its very relateable which makes for easy engagement in the content. Moreso though, the lessons Gigi learned were ones that either resonated because they were ones I'd learned, or completely intriguing because I hadn't explored or considered aspects or perspectives that Gigi brought. The way Gigi thinks and writes is incredibly engaging, and if you're curious to learn without being "driven" in any particular direction, this book is for you! Thoroughly recommended if you want to Grow your Know :-)

A wonderful journey into Bitcoin
21 Lessons isn't trying to be yet another "Bitcoin for Dummies"โthere's been plenty written generically attempting to explain how Bitcoin works. With 21 Lessons, Gigi takes a unique approach, leading readers on a tumble down more of a fun and philosophical Bitcoin rabbit hole. Bitcoin is a special topic, and this is a special Bitcoin book.

Incisive Bitcoin Analysis
Gigi's 21 Lessons is required reading for understanding Bitcoin. There is probably no more incisive text out there. Moreover, Gigi is a huge contributor to Bitcoin education and development overall. Highly recommend buying and reading this book!

The Black Hole, that is bitcoin/Bitcoin.
What I like about this book was itโs comparison to the classic tale of โAlice in Wonderlandโ. It went deep into the bitcoin Black Hole with each of the 21 lessons, there was history, math, physics, & computer science. It was an education in all those subjects and then some. After reading this Iโm still yearning for more information. This book is great for anyone new to the bitcoin space & also the OGโs. If I could give 10 stars, I would because I couldnโt put this book down.

no real audience
Okay, first, the generous, organised discourse on this thing called Bitcoin is a reaffirming read for crypto natives, which I enjoyed, However, there was nothing really thought provoking here. Nothing to help me on my journey. But for those not yet in the space, thereโs still too much jargon and too much assumed knowledge to help them on their journey either. As such, despite the fact that I donโt regret reading this, I donโt think it really has an audience - good for all, great for none. A classic Three stars. A lot of pioneers in this space recommend this book, so maybe go with their 5-star reviews.

Concise yet Deep
Gigi is one of the best minds in the Bitcoin space which of course one day will be known as the way we do money on planet Earth. This brilliant book beautifully displays and explains the need to know facts that make Bitcoin one of the most important, revolutionary and best inventions of all time.
