Finished “The Genesis Book” yesterday and it’s a very well done read nostr:npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5

Learned a lot about the incremental failures that Bitcoin was built upon as well as successes.

If you read this and think about all the attempts, the timing, the public apathy, etc this shit shouldn’t even exist, much less have taken off.

Free software could have just remained an obscure MIT lab habit

Cryptography could have remained the domain of the NSA “forever”

Hayek could have given up on his ideas while the rest of the world listened to Keynes and put the future on credit

Etc and so on.

Give it a read.
