I gave this one a go out of curiosity, and while I’m not deep in the blockchain world (although could be analysing data on the blockchain in my future, I can see how Blockchain Data Analytics for Dummies would be really useful if you’re working in or around the space. The first few chapters were definitely the highlight for me—they broke down key concepts in a clear and digestible way, especially around how data is structured on the blockchain and how you can start making sense of it.

It does get pretty technical as it goes on, and I found myself skimming a few sections that felt more geared towards developers or specialists. That said, it’s a solid resource and good as a reference tool. It's not exactly a gripping read, but it will probably be a handy guide to keep on the shelf.

Into shitcoinery? Then it's a great read.

If you're serious and want to analyze the Bitcoin blockchain: steer clear.

On The Blockchain

This was a good book on blockchain data analytics.

Not the most advanced blockchain book I have read, but a good enough intro to blockchain tech.

3.8/5

[Zbigniew Zdziarski · Rating 4 out of 5]

A nifty little introduction to the topic. The first 3rd of the book is all about the Ethereum network, creating your own Ethereum Virtual Machine, and extracting data from it. The last 2 thirds focuses pretty much solely on data analytics so I ended up skimming most of that part.
