Reading Founding Brothers by Joseph Ellis through the lens of bitcoin. There are fascinating parallels between the American Revolution and the bitcoin revolution. I fear many bitcoiners do not understand how and why the American Revolution was successful. And we seem to be getting outmaneuvered by the powers who do not want to see bitcoin succeed.

First lesson. Speed is critical to our success. We cannot be patient. We have (or at least had) momentum. We must not relent and be patient. Speed is an asset to our effort.

More to come. But first lesson:

Accelerate. Relentlessly.

To better understand the atmosphere of the American Revolution and key figures like John Adams, and to really feel the excitement of that era, definitely watch the miniseries John Adams. It’s amazing and truly conveys the sense of critical decisions and historical momentum, a kind of practical lesson wrapped in entertainment.
