Why This Series Exists
Most explanations are written by experts who forgot what it felt like not to know.
Too Complex
Written for specialists. Assumes you already know the basics. Leaves you more confused than when you started.
Too Biased
Written by people with something to sell. The explanation serves the pitch, not the reader.
Just Right
The Like a Kindergartner series starts from zero, builds up honestly, and leaves you genuinely informed — not just nodding along.

Crypto & Blockchain: Like a Kindergartner
You have heard of Bitcoin. You have nodded along in conversations about blockchain. You have watched people get rich — and watched others lose everything. But do you actually know how any of it works?
This book covers everything — from why money has value in the first place, to how a blockchain actually works, to what really happened when FTX collapsed, to how to protect yourself from the scams that have stolen billions from ordinary people.
All of it explained from the ground up. All of it accurate. None of it dumbed down.
- Why Bitcoin was invented — and the real problem it was built to solve
- How a blockchain works, in plain language
- What Ethereum, DeFi, NFTs, and Web3 actually are beneath the hype
- The five most common crypto scams — and the red flags that appear before the money is lost
- How crypto is taxed and what records you need to keep
- How to build a personal strategy that fits your actual financial situation

About the Author
Etienne Basile
Etienne Basile is not a blockchain engineer or a Wall Street analyst.
He is someone who spent years investing in cryptocurrency, having the conversations, watching the headlines — and slowly realising that most of the people around him, including himself at the start, had no real idea how any of it actually worked.
The Like a Kindergartner series came from a simple frustration: the most important financial topics in the world are explained either by experts who have forgotten what it feels like not to know, or by hype artists with something to sell. Neither serves the person who just wants to actually understand.
Etienne writes from the learner's perspective — not to tell you what to do with your money, but to make sure you understand enough to decide for yourself.
