Jeff Booth, author of The Price of Tomorrow: Why Deflation Is the Key to an Abundant Future:
Clear, concise, and comprehensive. Vijay Selvam's book is the perfect guide for anyone looking to understand the importance of Bitcoin from the ground up.

Jameson Lopp, cofounder & CTO, Casa:
Bitcoin is an incredibly difficult system to grasp fully. It acts like a mirror insofar as it tends to reflect your own education, skill set, and worldview when you gaze upon it. Principles of Bitcoin is a masterful work in which Selvam has collected the perspectives of hundreds of cypherpunks, philosophers, historians, economists, legal scholars, and more to lay out a comprehensive explanation of Bitcoin’s fundamental properties.

Richard Byworth, managing partner, Syz Capital:
This book is the most thorough and complete analysis of Bitcoin in existence. It takes the reader through subject matter that is normally covered in thousands of hours of research in just 300 pages, referencing philosophers, economists, cryptographers, and technologists. The encyclopedic coverage of each aspect of Bitcoin is blended effortlessly with storytelling, analogies, and examples to ensure reader engagement even through some of the more complex areas.

Lyn Alden, author of Broken Money: Why Our Financial System Is Failing Us and How We Can Make It Better:
Principles of Bitcoin provides one of the most logical frameworks for analyzing Bitcoin that I've ever seen, and with a high degree of professionalism and extensive references. This is absolutely a standout among books on the subject.
