Full-color illustrations A cute cast of characters Covers multiple cryptocurrency concepts FROM THE AUTHOR: Q. Why write a cryptocurrency book about Shib? Why not Bitcoin or Doge? A. Shib made history when Vitalik Buterin, one of the creators of Ethereum, made the world's largest crypto donation using Shib to aid India, helping countless sick people during a critical time. This definitely inspired me to use Shib as the first book in my series Crypto for Kids. Shib has been nicknamed "the dogecoin killer" because people anticipate that this canine-themed coin will eclipse the former in popularity in the future. Shib is a community-driven, defi token that has many capabilities Dogecoin doesn't (as outlined in this book). I hope to make more crypto books for kids, so please stay tuned! Thank you for your interest in my first book "Crypto for Kids: Shiba Inu"!
