Excellent question. In my personal life I have to be the authority on most things (not the code), and depending on the topic I will point them to the bitcoin mining council. Just like the last year or 3 have been less about bitcoin and more about where it fits into everyone's life, my first source is "basic economics" by Thomas sowell. For anyone asking why we can't have bigger blocks for more transactions I point them to "the block size wars".
I'd be interested in other peoples takes, I have felt pretty hung-out-to-dry with so many sources becoming too political and cartoonish. More or less why I don't bring up Lynn Alden, of course she's one of our best macro people, but she is going to destroy her credibility criticizing people like elon. I could recommend saifadeans books too, for those who are already ideologically onboard with sound money.
