The Book of Crypto
The Complete Guide to Understanding Bitcoin, Cryptocurrencies and Digital Assets
A practical, beginner-friendly guide to Bitcoin, blockchain, DeFi, NFTs and digital assets — including cryptocurrency in India.
The Book of Crypto is a guide by Indian author Parvind Kumar explaining how Bitcoin emerged, why blockchain matters, and how cryptography and consensus make decentralized systems possible. It moves from mining and transactions through Ethereum and smart contracts, stablecoins, wallets and exchanges, to investing versus speculation and common portfolio mistakes.
The book also covers DeFi, NFTs and Web3, crypto scams and security, law and taxation, and cryptocurrency in India specifically — closing with a security checklist, a project-research framework, and a glossary, written to help readers understand the space rather than treat it as guaranteed opportunity or guaranteed threat.
