As a complete novice in blockchain, I found "Blockchain Essentials You Always Wanted to Know" by Abhilash Kancharla incredibly helpful in understanding the basics. The book explains concepts like decentralization, cryptography, and trust mechanisms simply and easily to grasp. It introduces the foundation of blockchain technology in a clear, straightforward style, making it ideal for beginners like me.

Hands-On Learning Made Simple
One of the things I loved about this book is its practical focus. It describes how blockchain works and guides you step-by-step through creating a private blockchain and deploying smart contracts. Tools like Truffle and Ganache make these technical processes easy to follow, even if you’re starting.

Fun and Engaging Approach
The book uses quizzes, fun facts, and case studies to make learning enjoyable and interactive. It also offers online resources, like pre-made smart contracts, which helped me practice what I was reading. These features made the learning process less intimidating and much more engaging.

A Balanced Perspective for Beginners
What I appreciated most was how the author also talked about the challenges of blockchain, such as energy consumption and regulation. This gave me a complete picture of both the potential and the risks. By the end of the book, I felt confident about the basics of blockchain and inspired to learn more. This is an excellent starting point for anyone new to the topic!

Before I read this book I had only a very vague idea of what blockchain was all about. now, thanks to this book, I feel like I have a good grip on not only what blockchain is, but how to benefit from it.
