Must read

The problem with biographies is that they are generally just a succession of dates and events. In this case, on the other hand, Matthew has succeeded in recounting, in a way that is yes chronological, his life with personal reflections that can trigger good insights for introspection in the reader.

Basic introduction to the markets and a first step into the world of investing.

Sometimes tedious and sometimes repetitive. Clearly feels the weight of years.

If you want to read it for stock picking, veer to something more modern.

The figure of Satoshi Nakamoto has always intrigued me...the mystery behind his figure is still fascinating and reading his messages make him both more “earthly” and tangible than how the people mystify him.

The book itself is a collection of messages, exchanges of ideas and iterations on improving the protocol.

The author put an introduction to the concepts at the beginning of the book and then jumps us into the conversations. I would have preferred a more step-by-step narrative, having the reader learn progressively as the story progresses.

I usually don't like “mystical” fiction about Bitcoin, but the author offers some good food for thought. I would recommend it to newbies who do not want to delve into the technical side of the project.
