Book Review- Bitcoin Dog: Following the Scent to the Bitcoin C++ Source Code

1867 sats \ 23 comments \ @grayruby 7 Jan BooksAndArticles

That's right. I finally read @realBitcoinDog's book.

A very fun and creative story our friend @realBitcoinDog has come up with here. He manages to weave the cute story of Sheila (grandma pup) telling her grandpuppies, Sebastina and Hunter, tales of her travels through the Australian outback to learn how Bitcoin works, with the technical breakdowns nicely.

Sheila follows 3 scents to discover and learn about the Difficulty adjustment, Genesis Block, and 21M supply limit. With the help of some other native Australian animals of course. As she reaches the end of each scent trail, RBD gives us a peak into the source code to break down how it works.

Great book for bitcoin beginners and veterans alike. I enjoyed both the fun fictional story and RBD's technical breakdowns.

I give it 4 PAWS UP.

If you are interested in reading this book check out @realBitcoinDog's bio. I will gift an epub copy to the first person that responds to this post with a dog emoji.

Sats for all, GR

I will have to check it out. Maybe I'll make it an award for a ~Dogs_And_Cars meme contest.

Is it a children's book or written for adults?

Not for small children but I would give it to my 14 year old to read. It's for everyone.

Kids would appreciate the fictional story, and adults appreciate the actual C++ code breakdown

Fabulous write up and a pretty unique concept that seems to get your approval!

I think it was a pretty clever way to structure the book rather than hitting you with the technical stuff right off the bat.

And from what you say; it seems to hit the mark for all levels of BTC knowledge.

Another example I think too of where self-publishing is great! Tough to get a traditional publisher to do something like this

I would imagine it’s a near impossible task unless they are a specialist publisher; in this case either dogs or bitcoin :) Good job!

Wait, @realBitcoinDog wrote a book?

He is kind of a big deal. Just ask him.

Thank you. I'll do it. Did you buy the paperback or epub version for yourself?

41 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby OP 7 Jan

epub. Easier to read on a tablet or phone.

Though paperback in color is available and should ship to India! https://www.amazon.com/Bitcoin-Dog-Following-Scent-Source/dp/B09RG47RTQ/?&_encoding=UTF8&tag=realbitcoindo-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=dedd3850a4dbe907d8ea9b478dd4e517&camp=1789&creative=9325

@grayruby I want to know if you ever laughed out loud! And if you learned anything knew.

And if it made you want to STACK MORE SATS!

As you can see from this post. I cashed in all my NFL betting profits made in Trudeau cuck bucks and swept them into Bitcoin.

All because of your book! It has nothing to do with the fact that is what I planned to do at the end of the season. It was the book that convinced me.
