520    Saying that many investors were not convinced by 
       cryptocurrencies in their first decade of existence would 
       be an understatement. Originally, author Thomas Jeegers 
       was one of them. He looked into this new virtual money 
       more than once and, each time, decided not to invest. Like
       many long-term investors, he was looking for fundamentals.
       Crypto had none or so he thought. This book details why 
       his perspective on cryptoassets has shifted and why yours 
       should, too. Recent developments in this field have turned
       crypto from a speculative financial innovation to a new 
       asset class, one with a new kind of fundamentals that 
       offer real economic value. One that will change finance 
       and investments. One that may be a trigger defining the 
       fourth industrial revolution, the same way steam, 
       electricity, and the Internet were triggers for the first,
       second, and third industrial revolutions, respectively. 
       Despite what advocates of the traditional financial 
       establishment like to claim, cryptoassets were by far the 
       best financial investment of the last decade, even risk-
       adjusted, and could still be so for the coming one. They 
       should not be overlooked, regardless of ones opinion of 
       them. This book answers the main questions any potential 
       long-term investor in cryptoassets should ask: What are 
       cryptoassets and blockchain technology? Why consider 
       cryptoasset investments? When is a good time to invest? 
       Where should one invest? How should one invest? Which 
       valuation methods are appropriate? Understanding Crypto 
       Fundamentals includes a deep dive into the management of 
       risks specific to cryptoassets, both financial and non-
       financial, and provides the tools needed for investment 
       success in this new asset class. Upon completing the book,
       you will have a new perspective on cryptoassets and how 
       you can benefit from them as an investor. Thomas Jeegers 
       is a CFA Charterholder and Financial Risk Manager (FRM), 
       and has earned an MBA from INSEAD as well as multiple 
       blockchain certifications from institutions including 
       INSEAD and Oxford University. He has worked in finance for
       10 years and is a frequent speaker at events on blockchain
       and cryptoassets.
