This is basically a short introduction to the topic of cryptocurrency. I would not say that you can read this and expect being ready to invest in cryptocurrency but it does give an overall view. It is short and gives you the building blocks to continue learning.

This book could be a great place to start but if you already have some knowledge about crypto this will probably only be a waste of time.

Very soft

Very soft with no deep explanations on the several subjects. After reading it I would need to read something else.
