## A book for practical bitcoin use?

Bitcoiners, what is a book you recommend for practical bitcoin usage? I am thinking something that walks a complete n0n0b through setting up a wallet, explains the conventions of using the wallet, and the and later covers higher-security subjects like passphrases, seed recovery, and air-gapped HWW's

Mastering Bitcoin is all over the place and mostly targeted at technically savvy people. There is even a section in that book, where Antonopoulos walks you through writing a vanity address miner in C++. Not a noon friendly book IMO

I remember dragging Mastering Bitcoin on Twitter once and said nostr:npub102hlt959hwackt757fm6e27fjcl45meutv5c52333kazuqf05ghq0xdes6's Programming Bitcoin was a superior technical guide. Antonopoulos slid into the thread and was like "Yeah, you're right MB aged like milk" 😃

The closest one I found was Bitcoin for Dummies. BlockBain gave me a free copy of that once at a meetup. I have skimmed it and there is a chapter on Wallet use, and it's pretty heavily focused on BlueWallet and has no practical HWW guidance. The book is still pretty noob friendly, all around, and takes the right amount of time to cover important topics
