A 57-Page Book About Mastering Bitcoin Written By a Sixth Grader
Andrew Courey is a middle school student from Massachusetts, and he hopes to earn $20Mn by the age of fourteen. Courey made an agreement with his parents who said if he earned $20Mn by then, he could drop out of school much like the bitcoin millionaire Erik Finmanâs deal with his parents. So after countless hours of research and Youtube videos covering the subject of bitcoin Courey decided to write a book on the topic. The book called âEarly Bird Gets The Bitcoin: The Ultimate Guide To Everything About Bitcoin,â is available on Amazon in both e-book form or as a paper copy.Â
The introduction states:
Today we will be learning about an online currency created by Satoshi Nakamoto, and by the end, you will become a master of bitcoin.
Coureyâs dad is a tech investor and prompted Andrew to put his studies to good use by publishing a book about bitcoin in a more simplified manner.
âAnyone can learn about cryptocurrencies if theyâre willing to spend 70 to 80 hours researching every source until they find a couple sources that make sense,â Andrew explains in a recent interview with CNBC. âThe whole book, in the simplest terms, is very easy to read and simple to understand.â

Relatable Analogies
The sixth graderâs book tries to use relatable analogies to describe cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. In order to explain a distributed ledger, Courey explains that a blockchain is similar to a public Google document thatâs âshared with everyone and that can only be edited by buying or selling bitcoin.â Additionally, Courey says a digital currency wallet is comparable to a mailbox where only the owner has the keys. Courey describes a bitcoin wallet in his book noting: Â
Imagine there is a mailbox â the mailman can drive the mail to any mailbox, but only the person with the key can access the mail.
The book covers concepts like wallets, mining, and other technologies tied to cryptocurrencies. Moreover, the book discusses the history of bitcoin, Initial Coin Offerings (ICO), and the ethereum protocol as well. At the end of each chapter Courey concludes with a fun fact about the specific subjects discussed in that section.
