Decided to permanently delete 'Resistance Money' from my library.
I can't get behind the commie fist. No content is worth seeing that cover next to books I respect and love.

Same feeling. Hate this cover. Bad choice.
Probably a wise choice.
I feel like thereās a well known quote about this very thingā¦..
Is there?
Do not judge a book by its ... nah I can't remember.
You're European right?
God forbid no, but I live in Germany at the moment.
All the people defending this communist symbol seem to be Europeans.
That's not a coincidence. Good Americans fucking hate communism.
Unfortunately we might have to liberate Europe again if they continue being such pussies.
Slave-coded beyond belief.
Yes they are, I struggle everytime I try to say that the welfare is too excessive (because I can see it in my taxes) but they will defend it 'til dead.
Same with nuclear power. There is no de-programming them.
But to be honest, it is still 100x better than my original country.
Having met Andrew, and recently interviewed him, I personal didnāt get any communist impression at all
I am about 65% through the book and I think itās a helpful addition to the array of Bitcoin books Iāve read
With a new lens (philosophy) Iāve gained a better understanding (at least so far in the book)
Whatās that old saying? āDonāt judge a book by its coverāā¦.
(Each to their own of course. Keep whatever books you want!)
Would you buy a #Bitcoin book with a big swastika on the cover?
Then why would you buy a #Bitcoin book with a big commie fist on the cover?
A closed fist can mean different things to different culturesā¦
and in this case itās a fist holding #bitcoin .
Without reading the context itās portraying, how can you know from which framework the cover is playing with the fist?
Have you read it? Or are you judging the book by its cover?
What does this mean?
Please recommend this to your following since you never judge books based on their covers.
This fist being used cannot be mistaken for anything but the commie fist just as the swastika cannot be mistaken for anything but Nazism.
The ancient origins of these symbols are irrelevant; they've been monopolized by their modern depictions.

This one cover speaks for the whole book in flashy colors. šÆ
Which is why i would never recommend it.
But one day, if i were writing about a story taking place in that context, where that book were relevant to me to try to create characters that live and believe that, then maybe i would read it.
Itās not a topic or theme that iām interested in writing about, but if i were who knows š
Not the same ballpark in expansiveness of representation imo
The swastikaās representation is limited to itself.
A fist representation is much wider and can mean different things to different cultures around the globe.
simply my response without reading its content is very narrow to know in which way itās meant to be interpreted.
There are plenty of films with a swastika on their cover poster, to relay different things/representations with that common ācontextā
Dunno, just thinking out loud
It's exactly the same.
The Swastika is less limited to itself than that particular fist. Itās an ancient symbol of good/bad fortune. TIL the earliest depiction originated in Ukraine, wellā¦ fancy that! 
Thanks for sharing. And if i ever did research that led me to those covers i would consider reading it from each of those contexts šŖ
Thereās even a little Waffen SS on the wrist.
If I didnāt know this were a Bitcoin book, Iād think Bitcoin had been captured by the state. Symbolism matters.
Bitcoin is for enemies
I can't use products with the raised communist fist either. CalyxOS is one. That has been the symbol of tyrannical communism oppression for almost 100 years.
Best I can do with commie fists is draw them holding a dildo.
