Just started reading nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak and Matthew Lysiak book #fiat food. What a crazy first few chapters. Really impressed with the clarify of the story telling. Will certainly be recommending it to my family to read (they probably won’t but at least I tried 🤦🏻‍♂️😂)

I just started The Fourth Turning. Will try and get into these books as well.

Not read that one. Would you recommend

Nice. Have read Bitcoin Standard and just bought Fiat Standard. Some chapters seem a bit loopy and conspiratorial but overall enjoyed the initial book. nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a Broken Money book is a better read imho.

Now that is a great book

Broken money is something else. Took a while to read.

I did find one chapter completely impenetrable!

power through, it gets better

Is the fiat-food-book just a carnivore glorifying pitch or a serious deep dive in nutrition science and the impact of fiat money?

So far it’s been a deep dive into some pretty wild things 100years ago that shaped the future of our food

Fiat standard is a really good book

Tell me about it 🤪

Enlightening book

Such a good book for waking people up. They get a serving of diet-related info with a side of distrust of government.

They're good books but I find them terrible suggestions for complete newbs. I don't recommend those until they're already in the boat.

I always send the ‘bullish case for Bitcoin’ as a warm up or a youtube of the @tuttletwins this seems a little more gentle entry

I use "The Little Bitcoin Book" or "Magic Internet Money" myself. If I know the person is a liberal, I'll recommend "The Progressive's Case for Bitcoin" as it usually hits all of their key opposition points. All three can be quickly read and are easily digestible to a non-technical person, which is a biggie in my book.

If they come back to me after that, then I'll give them the next level reads.

Not read the progressive case for bitcoin. Is it good?

I think it does a good job hitting the usual talking points they find important. Each chapter after the base is hits one like energy usage and environment, banking system, poor and marginalized people, inflation and wealth inequality, war and peace, etc.

Cool. I have a lot of liberal friends so maybe one to read and then pass on to them

I would agree. I tend to send the bullish case for Bitcoin as a first read of what Bitcoin is.

Two great books!!

I’m really enjoying fiat food. The writing is great and it’s like a detective/history novel. I mean the out come is fairly horrendous but it’s good to understand some of the context of why we have ended up where we are.
