About the Book

This book is a gentle introduction to cryptocurrencies. I will give you a bit of history, talk about Bitcoin and alt-coins -- everything in a clear and understandable way as if you'd be one of my family members asking about crypto during Christmas dinner.

What you'll get:

  • I introduce you to Bitcoin and the world of cryptocurrencies in simple terms without many buzzwords so you are onboarded easily
  • I share my best practices on how to convert your fiat (USD, EUR, AUD, etc) to crypto via exchanges
  • I share with you my choice of wallets where I store and grow my crypto assets
  • I tell you what DeFi is and how it works
  • I share with you my practices how I employ manual and automated trading methods -- even without any trading knowledge
  • I give you some options on how you can earn free cryptocurrency
  • I give you a bunch of updates even after the book is finished where I introduce you to different crypto projects just as a bonus

I am not a financial advisor, although I have studied economics this doesn't count. Therefore, if it seems to you I am giving financial advice: I am not. It's just my opinion. And as it is a very speedy market (well, Bitcoin moved +30% in 2 weeks), take care of the date I am writing everything. However, the backbone will be valid over time.

Changing how we talk about mental health in the tech community.
Open Sourcing Mental Illness is a non-profit, 501c3 corporation dedicated to raising awareness, educating, and providing resources to support mental wellness in the tech and open source communities. OSMI began in 2013 as a speaking campaign by Ed Finkler. Ed started speaking at tech conferences about his personal experiences as a web developer and open source advocate with a mental health disorder. The response was overwhelming, and Ed has continued to speak, gather data, and organize efforts to change experiences of those with mental health disorders in the tech workplace. This includes speaking at conferences and companies, conducting research, and creating documentation to assist companies in making supportive environments for those impacted by mental health disorders. He is assisted in these efforts by selfless volunteers who bring their time and expertise to bear on this important issue.
