“Progressive” bitcoiner is really just “Privileged” bitcoiner.

Nothing wrong with it but they are not the same breed with some alternative view. Their privileged view actually undermines the whole project - not that Bitcoin gives a shit.

I participated in the crowdfund to get the book and I’ll read it but it’s pretty low signal and reals of a desperate attempt to get Western society’s approval to give people the full power of Bitcoin over the world - and fuck that weak noise.

Which book?

“Progressive case for Bitcoin” I believe is the title

Yuck

Reviewing the chapter list it doesn't appear to cover new ground, but the more resources on Bitcoin from varied perspectives, the better as it provides for citable source material instead of rehashing the same quotes.

I bought the book with the full intention of learning from it. I don”t have a prejudice about what that might be. The guys behind it are smart and have value to add.
