Have you read it and would you recommend others to read it?

I'm reading the book and listening to the audiobook in tandem, not done yet, but so far I think it's the best book about Bitcoin. No beating around the bush, no parabolas or metaphors, just pure logic and deductive reasoning.

Listening to the audio in tandem is a great idea which I haven't tried for other books. I've ordered a copy and will do it the same way as you.

what if you're reading always one page ahead of the audiobook simultaneously?

I think a worm hole would open up, it would be worth a try. What I thought was listening to the book while running/working out etc.

One of my favorite passages so far::: It is evident that states actually prefer to ban popular things. The following is a short list of commonly-banned popular things:

• Drugs

• Gambling

• Prostitution

• Religion

• Speech

• Assembly

• Trade

• Migration

• Weapons

• Labor

• Books

One of his talks works well as a complement to audio and book. Quick high-level view: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdqMhzOL1_U&ab_channel=BitcoinLectures

thanks for sharing!

The book is mesmerizing. The style of writing is a shortcut to so many insights. Chapter 'Custodial Risk Principle' is splendid.
