The top 1% master the right books.
Here are 10 that will rewire how you trade forever
1 / The Bitcoin Standard – Saifedean Ammous
This book will shift how you think about money. It explains why Bitcoin exists, how fiat currencies lose value over time, and what “sound money” means.
If you’re still unsure why crypto matters, start here.
2 / Digital Gold – Nathaniel Popper
The history of Bitcoin told through real people — cypherpunks, anarchists, libertarians, and early investors.
It’s less technical, more narrative. Helps you understand how crypto became a movement before it became a market.
3 / Cryptoassets – Chris Burniske & Jack Tatar
One of the best frameworks for evaluating crypto tokens.
It teaches you how to separate real projects from noise and how to think about long-term value in this space.
Still relevant years later.
4 / The Crypto Trader – Glen Goodman
A straightforward look into the life of a trader who made it through both bull and bear markets.
Covers emotional control, entry/exit planning, and what it actually feels like to manage risk in crypto.
5 / Trade Like a Casino – Richard Weissman
This isn’t a crypto book, but it’s crucial.
You learn how professionals think in terms of odds and edge, not emotion.
You’ll stop treating trades as bets and start thinking like a casino — small losses, big wins, controlled risk.
6 / Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets – John Murphy
The most complete book on chart reading.
Candle patterns, volume, RSI, trendlines — it’s all here.
Yes, it’s heavy, but once you study it, you’ll see charts completely differently.
7 / The Psychology of Money – Morgan Housel
If you don’t know how your brain works, you’ll lose money in any market.
This book explains why people take bad risks, panic sell, or hold bags too long.
It’s simple, practical, and applies to crypto perfectly.
8 / The Intelligent Investor – Benjamin Graham
Classic investing principles that work in every market.
The idea of margin of safety, patience, and value all apply to long-term plays in crypto — especially during bear markets.
9 / The Sovereign Individual – Davidson & Rees-Mogg
Published in 1997 — it predicted digital currencies and the decline of the nation-state.
Helps you see where crypto fits in the bigger picture.
Conviction comes from understanding, and this book delivers it.
