Seventeen chapters. One rubric. No price predictions.
Most cryptocurrency writing sits at one of two extremes: introductory books that stop exactly where the interesting questions begin, or primary sources that assume you already know what a Byzantine fault is. This book occupies the ground between them.
It explains how Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Tether, Algorand, Nano and Stellar actually work — the cryptography, the consensus mechanics, the economics — then scores all seven against the same published rubric, so the comparisons mean something. It extends the same treatment to the categories that fit none of them: privacy coins, meme coins, and the oracle, storage and DePIN tokens.
What's insideEvery figure carries the date it was measured. Every tool cited carries its repository URL. Working code in Python, Solidity, Rust and TypeScript. Over 300 tables and diagrams. And a consistent refusal to repeat a throughput claim without asking what the validator requirements were.
Data is current to September 2026: Bitcoin's BIP-360 and BIP-361 proposals, Ethereum's Fusaka and Glamsterdam upgrades, Tether's GENIUS Act problem, Algorand's post-quantum accounts, the privacy-coin rally, the 2026 drawdown.
The conclusion will annoy partisans of every chain in it: technical quality is a threshold, not a ranking. Above that threshold, distribution decides. The evidence is in every chapter.
For developers, analysts, and anyone who wants the mechanism rather than the marketing.
Not investment advice. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell anything.Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.

This book occupies the ground between them.It explains how Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Tether, Algorand, Nano and Stellar actually work - the cryptography, the consensus, the economics - and then scores all seven against the same published rubric, so the comparisons mean something. It covers privacy coins, meme coins, infrastructure tokens and the other categories that fit none of the above. It shows you how to build a wallet for each, with working code. And it takes apart the exchanges, the yield platforms and the fundraising mechanisms where the money is actually made and lost.Inside: 13 chapters, 138 sections, 300+ tables and diagrams, working code in Python, Solidity, Rust and TypeScript, GitHub repositories for every tool cited, and a scored ranking of the 100 largest assets with its methodology stated in full.Data is current to September 2026 and dated throughout: Bitcoin's BIP-360 quantum debate, Ethereum's Glamsterdam upgrade, Tether's GENIUS Act problem, Algorand's post-quantum accounts, the 2026 privacy-coin rally.The conclusion will annoy partisans of every chain in it: technical quality is a threshold, not a ranking.
