THE TRUTH ABOUT CRYPTO: A Practical, Easy-to-Understand Guide to Bitcoin, Blockchain, NFTs, and Other Digital Assets

THE TRUTH ABOUT CRYPTO is available for pre-order and releases on May 10, 2022

GREAT FALLS, Va., May 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ric Edelman, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of 10 books, globally renowned personal finance expert, and host of The Truth About Your Future radio show and podcast, has announced the release of The Truth About Crypto, his latest, must-read guide for achieving investment success today and in the future.

In The Truth About Crypto (May 10, 2022/$19.99 paperback), Edelman offers sound advice for investing in digital assets, such as bitcoin and NFT (non-fungible tokens), through his fun, easy-to-understand book, e-book and audio book. He explains how blockchain works, reveals the difference between digital currencies and digital assets, and shows readers how to invest—and avoid scams.

Blockchain technology, Edelman writes, is revolutionary—perhaps the most profound innovation for global commerce since the invention of the internet. Bitcoin and other digital assets represent a potentially huge opportunity for investors, but most don't know how to navigate this new asset class.

"Digital assets are a trend, not a fad. By the end of this decade, 70 percent of the global economy will be digital," said Ric Edelman. "In The Truth About Crypto, I remove the mystery, giving readers the information they need, so they can make well-informed decisions in their best interest."

Edelman is widely known for his proven advice and trademark humor, and his new book, The Truth About Crypto is the ultimate guide for anyone who wants to benefit from this new financial landscape.

The book has received rave reviews from leaders in both the financial services and crypto communities.

"This book provides the most useful explanations about blockchain and digital assets, and how they are profoundly changing our economy.

"The implications of blockchain technology and digital assets are vast and profound. With The Truth About Crypto, Ric has done the nearly impossible—taken a highly complex, often confusing topic and made it accessible and interesting for investors."—Marty Flanagan, President & CEO, Invesco

"More information is needed around this asset class, and The Truth About Crypto is a good resource for both financial advisors and investors who are seeking more knowledge in this area."—Joseph V. Maugeri, CFP, Managing Director, Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards

"Blockchain technology is driving one of the most revolutionary periods in finance since the Renaissance. As we stand upon the threshold of this moment, investors of every type should be paying close attention and reading voraciously. The Truth About Crypto is an excellent place to start."—Downtown Josh Brown, CEO of Ritholtz Wealth, star of CNBC's The Halftime Report

"Ric has done it again! He's taken a wide-ranging and constantly evolving subject and made it relevant and accessible to the widest possible audience. The Truth About Crypto is incredibly clear and very difficult to put down. Ric provides convincing evidence that ignoring crypto is the least rational response to it, and he offers a wealth of advice on how best to embrace this explosive innovation.
