After a few months of work, the last finetunings have been made. My book "Cryptocoins - Investing in Digital Currencies" goes to print today. Even the latest events like the spin-off of Bitcoin Cash made it into it last minute.
It will be published in the beginning of September.
Here is the first double page of chapter one:
So far the book is in German only, but I have found a talented lady who is eager to translate it to English. If you happen to know a publisher in the English speaking world who might be interested, please let me know!
