As Bitcoiners, we strive to expand our knowledge of the decentralized currency when we can. Reading Bitcoin-related books is one of the best ways to increase your understanding of Bitcoin, the current fiat system, and how Bitcoin is a better option as a global currency.
Below are 5 popular Bitcoin books that will help you expand your Bitcoin knowledge. Please note, that there are a large amount of great Bitcoin-related books that are not mentioned in this list. The below are books I personally own and have read myself, and are in no particular order.
There are a lot of other Bitcoin books out there, I have only suggested ones I have read myself.

It includes the original white paper that introduced the concept of Bitcoin, as well as email exchanges between Nakamoto and other early Bitcoin enthusiasts.
