Okay guys, I just had an inspirational lunch with @duchess and she got me fired up about #bitcoin and #nostr!

I want to learn from all of you! Can you guys recommend the best books to read about bitcoin? @Duchess suggested I start with ‘The Bitcoin Standard’ by Saifedean Ammous (by the way hope he is here as well? 😍). Are there any other books, articles, or YouTube videos you would recommend?

Layered Money by nostr:npub1qw6e8meaj5gzk49alamh9qf35lpmml5sq7ctjtxhcjk55qppmcjs0j2v52

Price of Tomorrow by nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe

Saved!

You won’t regret it! Both are super informative and interesting

nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak is on nostr!

Thanks! nostr:npub14yf4yasnqgpkzjrzhysshglf82e8nkp8r9sn5hzqu4n244k3avtshhwpyu pointed him out here too and now I doubt him! It’s a cool place and everyone is so helpful.

The Bitcoin Standard is the best first book, no doubt.

Good to know, because I will start with this one!

It's not a long book but it's quite heavy. Lots of food for thought. So take it easy. ☺

What interests you most about bitcoin? There are tons of books/podcasts/YouTube’s and they cover a huge range of topics. Financial angles, freedom, tech, wallets, nodes, energy, mining etc.

I’m interested in all the ways it enables more freedom for people all around the world. I’m also interested in saving for generational wealth.

nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 would be a great follow for you!

Check out his note from today (very relevant regarding freedom) nostr:note17pg9jrpuxygfj7pvejrkq2k6c9yu29nnveg59kzf96ft6dwgpqrq48kzrn

nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak is indeed here!

❤️😍 my love 💜 thank you!

Broken Money by Lyn Alden 100%

Yes nostr:npub14yf4yasnqgpkzjrzhysshglf82e8nkp8r9sn5hzqu4n244k3avtshhwpyu told me all about nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a and her book Broken Money 🙌🏻👏🏻 thanks for reminding me to add it!

The Bitcoin Audible podcast is a good resource. Search the Bitcoin Audible feed for the "basics" episodes & then anything else you are curious about.

Oh thank you for this suggestion!

The Fiat Standard, also from nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak

This one is now added to my list 😍

Broken Money might be better than Bitcoin standard

Omg I need to read this asap!

Can’t wait to read this one as everyone has said so much about it!

I haven't read that one! That good ?

Broken Money: Why Our Financial System is Failing Us and How We Can Make it Better https://a.co/d/doCfYEh

Oh Lyn's book. Ya, I meant to read that one. She's pretty based and super knowledgeable. I usually do audio books but this is likely one that is needed in paper. Would you agree?

Yes 100%

Yeah, that good

The Bitcoin Standard is a great start and then follow up with The Fiat Standard. nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak does a fantastic job explaining why not only ourselves money is broken but so are many other aspects of our lives. And it all ties back to money. It's a great read.

The Michael Series with Robert Breedlove is a great and lengthy podcast series on YouTube. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2jAZ0x9H0bQFY6wIbQfnrnIlqMcSHd6X&si=g1EV9_ov-Z0JJaDu

😍😍😍 you are ⭐️

nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 thank you! nostr:npub14yf4yasnqgpkzjrzhysshglf82e8nkp8r9sn5hzqu4n244k3avtshhwpyu told me you were one person here that always has very useful information 🙏🏻

You're welcome 🫂

Broken money by nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a ✌🏻 Also there's a documentary on YouTube, I think it's a very good start point. Enjoy the ride and good luck!

Oh I have not seen this! nostr:npub1ss8x0v3fe6s43krphru4vax9u9xgwcd63m4lqq88sxmre958fhcqnvse5l maybe we also have a YouTube night hehe

I appreciate this! Thank you 💜

nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx is a must follow

She should be following him already 🧐 nostr:npub1ss8x0v3fe6s43krphru4vax9u9xgwcd63m4lqq88sxmre958fhcqnvse5l lol are you 🤨❔

🙇🏻‍♀️ Thanks for reminding me 🧚🏻‍♂️ nostr:npub14yf4yasnqgpkzjrzhysshglf82e8nkp8r9sn5hzqu4n244k3avtshhwpyu gave me a list 🫣 but it’s not so easy to find everyone on here. Thanks again, I gave him a follow.

The Mandibles by Lionel Shriver is a fictional story but is helpful to shine a light on what may come. It may be the easiest read of all the "Bitcoin books" (it's technically not about bitcoin at all)

The Price of Tomorrow by Jeff Booth is another really good one that helps build an economic framework and understanding.

Thank you! I’ve added everything to my list now! 💜🙏🏻

I’ve compiled a list on The #Bitcoin bookshelf. There’s also a “Digital Downloads” section at the bottom with reading material for years. 🤙

Oh that’s great! Thank you!

It will be worth it to dive into this rabbit hole 🕳️ 🐇 I promise!

You will learn how fucked up and unfair our current system is and how #Bitcoin fixes this 🧡

I would start with the amazing book by nostr:npub1dpna3xwwddnhhzg9ycpvlcz2ze0jdwm2rf3eqd2lf9leaewtq7tqhw0ef2 and then with Cryptoeconomics by Eric Voskuil; you can download both for free on their websites:

https://voskuil.org/cryptoeconomics/

Hello! Yes I'm here! I've also got two more books you might enjoy: The Fiat Standard and Principles of Economics!

Oh hi 👋 nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak nice to see you here!

nostr:npub14yf4yasnqgpkzjrzhysshglf82e8nkp8r9sn5hzqu4n244k3avtshhwpyu is currently trying to locate #TheBitcoinStandard in #Russian for me (she said it’s all SOLD OUT at the moment), next I will read The Fiat Standard and Principles of Economics 😍!

Awesome! I saw that the book is sold out on the Russian website and I don't know where you can get a physical copy... BUT you can pirate it in pdf from this link: http://library.lol/main/D9F1A4BE23427FCDDEAEAD847B85175F

And no I don't mind piracy, I think it's the best marketing!! Enjoy! 👍

Wow, taken aback to see an author/creator of a work value the sharing of their ideas more than the financial gain from the sale 👀🤩

That’s really cool thank you! nostr:npub14yf4yasnqgpkzjrzhysshglf82e8nkp8r9sn5hzqu4n244k3avtshhwpyu ended up finding your book in Russian and gifted it to me. But I will definitely save this and share it with others that wish to read your book in Russian. Thank you 🙏🏻

All Saifedean books I would say is a must to read like the “The rice of tomorrow” by Jeff Booth, also the podcast serie with Robert Breedlove and Micheal Saylor is really good. Enjoy :)

don‘t know to much about the usage of nostr, but this is something to keep in mind:
