Break through your "crypto curiosity" and uncover why blockchain innovation will revolutionise our economy, culture, and the future of investing—as well as how to navigate it safely.

Between the booms, crashes, jargon, and flashy memes, blockchain technology and digital assets have not been easy for ordinary investors to understand. Hopeful investors in blockchain, digital assets, and crypto everywhere have a lengthy list of questions—and the list keeps getting longer and more nuanced. But who do they turn to for answers?

In Crypto Decrypted, Tradecraft Capital’s Jake Ryan and James Diorio decrypt a new world that is hidden in plain view, accessible currently to folks “in the know.” This book is for anyone who finds themselves lost in the blockchain babble, exploring and explaining not only how to participate, but the often overlooked reasons why this new technology is relevant to every human being.

Ryan and Diorio dive in deeply, debunking common myths, clarifying major breakthroughs that are often disregarded, and providing easy-to-understand answers for both crypto newbies and blockchain enthusiasts. They help readers move beyond the short-term to explore what great opportunities lie ahead for blockchain technologies while providing approaches to investing more safely and soundly so that you too can profit from this technological revolution.

You will learn:

  • The basics of blockchain technology, which will allow you to better navigate this new world.
  • The truth that debunks the six most common myths about crypto and blockchain.
  • What the Byzantine Generals’ Problem is, why it is important, and how it will impact your future.
  • Why blockchain technology is so important and how it is relevant to you—yes, you!
  • The ways in which blockchain innovation will transform our financial systems, our economy, and society itself.
  • How to participate in lower risk approaches in investing in digital assets to diversify your retirement portfolio.
  • Why the Information Age is over and that we’ve already begun a new long-wave economic cycle, the Age of Autonomy®, what the Autonomous Economy will look like in the coming years, and how it will impact us.

Just as the internet revolutionised our world decades ago, blockchain technology will impact every person and business on the planet—for the better—in the decades to come.
