Terrible book. Worst i tried for a long time.
Discussion
I was not impressed either. Wouldnβt say worst but it definitely didnt do much for me.
Why do you think it's a terrible book?
Iβm wondering the same thing
The dialogues were super super cringe and boring. The ridiculous passivity and incoherent discussions on the collapse of the dollar seemed to be totally abstract and unbelievable. The whole premise of the story was just like reading gibberish for me. I also felt the author had a huge lack of knowledge on money and economics, a read of Lyn Alden or Saife's books would do him well. I literally could feel my brain cells dying reading this book and not just from the boredom of it.
Lol well okay then. Isn't the writer a metals bug?
Yes
He could of touched on the important themes better then. Like Peter Schiff is more entertaining and educating than this author.
Theres plenty of real life examples to drae from when things collapse too... yugoslavia, russia. Hell, if the author even caught a clue, he would know that in eastern europe under communism, they all had plenty of money.. so what was missing?
That's fair. I did the audiobook and enjoyed her writing. It was entertaining and still thought provoking. I'm not sure I was entertained by it so I don't think much was missing. I'm going off what you say for that. I'm not trying to change your mind just understand more of your prospective
I donβt think the purpose of the story was to be educational but to provide a realistic illustration of what the collapse would look like. For example, the uncle in the story had a farm and was self sufficient. Great for him, he managed to get by the most difficult times. But then the government returned to power and took the farm. I thought it was a brilliant depiction.
I believe she has more bitcoin than most people thanks to her appearance with nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx on nostr:npub10atn74wcwh8gahzj3m0cy22fl54tn7wxtkg55spz2e3mpf5hhcrs4602w3
Good for her. Hopefully she still has it. I'll keep slogging away to get sats anyway I can
Also fairly certain that book came out well before Aldens and Saife's. I thought the picture of the collapse of the dollar was pretty entertaining.
I thought so too. I really liked the moment when he crossed state lines and the fear he had thinking that he was going to die. But then they realized that the government is broke and canβt afford to do all the scary things they convinced the public of. Which is just another way of illustrating that their powers were based on made up threats but it still takes a lot of courage to break out of that. I thought it was brilliant.
I listened to the audible. I wouldn't say I didn't enjoy it.
What did you dislike about it?
I don't belong in book clubs lol. I didn't dislike the book I'm glad I have listened to it so I get the references and I like it as a warning. I dislike how it had one line basically shitting on BTC but it's aging so I can forgive it. I'm not the hater in this thread.
The author actually jumped on a podcast with Odell and he tried to orange pill her. I think someone gave her a full Bitcoin.
