Blockchain - Cryptocurrency, NFTs & Smart Contracts: An executive guide to the world of decentralized finance
Crypto prices and NFTs are hogging the headlines, but they are just the most visible components of a rapidly growing decentralized financial system (DeFi) that has the potential to significantly challenge how we buy, sell, and trade just about everything. Blockchain and cryptocurrency may seem like a new thing, but they have been around for over 10 years. The problem is that the world of crypto can be very confusing with all the jargon, acronyms, and other unfamiliar words. This eBook contains an overview of the entire ecosystem as well as deeper insights to help you think about the consequences (intended and unintended) of our transition into a decentralized, trustless, world.

Great for a beginner
Have enjoyed Shelly’s real-world approach to crypto, NFTs, and blockchain. This guide is a good jumping off point for those wanting to go deeper into this brave new world.

Mediocre summary
quite mediocre summary woth little explanation or actual insight
I guess for £2 it's ok if u don't have the time or energy to do some googling
quite underwhelming in general

It is exactly as promised-an executive guide to the world of decentralized finance. If you’re new to crypto, start here. Palmer offers a clear eyed look at the promise and risks inherent in this new frontier - that simply can’t be ignored.

Excellant
Easy to understand. And the glossary alone is an absolute necessity if one choses to live in the crypto world. My thanks to Mr Palmer . Also I don't reember many authors names, yet I do remember Shelly Palmer.

New frontiers
A bit of information overload, but useful nevertheless. The glossary at the end is particularly useful. Some terms are already in use, whilst others are unique to the Blockchain.

A bit too executive summary
