Synopsis

Cryptocurrency is no longer a fringe curiosity — it is a strategic question that every finance leader, business owner, and serious professional needs to understand.

Most crypto books are written for traders chasing the next moonshot. This one is not.

Cryptocurrency Decoded: From Basics to Mastery is the professional's guide to digital assets. Written by Kenneth Mangum — a finance and operations leader with over 20 years of experience at Ford, Hunter Douglas, Henkel, and Agilent — this book delivers the same strategic clarity to cryptocurrency that he brings to any capital allocation decision.

Inside you will find:

• A structured progression from blockchain fundamentals through advanced DeFi, NFTs, and institutional frameworks
• Clear explanations of Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, altcoins, stablecoins, smart contracts, and consensus mechanisms
• Practical guidance on exchanges, wallets, trading strategies, and getting started with your first purchase
• A dedicated tax, compliance, and estate planning chapter — the content most crypto books skip
• The Digital Asset Evaluation Framework — five questions to evaluate any token, protocol, or project
• Institutional coverage: cryptocurrency on the balance sheet, FASB accounting, custody solutions, and board reporting
• The sovereignty stack: how blockchain, AI verification, and decentralized identity converge to reshape trust
• 24 professional figures, a due diligence checklist, and on-chain analytics tools

Whether you are a CFO evaluating digital asset exposure, an entrepreneur exploring blockchain applications, or a professional who wants to understand crypto without the hype, this book is your authoritative guide.

Book 4 of the Mangum Executive Series.
