Only slightly off topic here.

I've been reading on Ethereum. I have a good technical background, and I'm still confused. Also a confession: I know squat about Bitcoin. I've never owned one, never spent one. Bitcoin is just an abstraction to me. However, reading on Ethereum I've read several times that Ethereum is not a competitive digital currency, but is complementary to Bitcoin.

I'm totally ignorant on Bitcoin, except as an abstraction I bump into on the web, so I'm backing up a bit to read on Bitcoin.

If you have a prime membership on Amazon there are several slick videos on Bitcoin for free. Some cheap Kindle Unlimited books (free if you have a Kindle Unlimited membership.)

Digital-currency, Crypto-currency. Scam, flash in the pan, wave of the future, saviour of humanity?
