he will never know as he is in his safe space now

ok, say Nigger and see what happens

50 bucks? Pretty sure I paid like $25-30 for it

Haven’t read internet of money adding it to the list 🙏

Exactly. The book has its merits. But there are a range of drawbacks that make it way harder to bring new people into Bitcoin. Which should pretty much be every bitcoiner’s goal for the next 10-50 years lol

Instead of the Bitcoin standard for normies

Recommend two books:

1) the history of money

2) the seventh property

Orange-pill will be an easy swallow

Haha how many moon bois on Twitter said we were going to 30 or 35k? 😂

Am I the only one who reports the White House and POTUS for misinfo on Twitter?

Someone’s gotta do it! 👍

Like I said, it’s nuanced, and I’m conflicted.

When humans were evolving, we were lucky and delighted to slay a Woolly Mammoth and have red meat available for months.

At other times, we were perfectly able to thrive on nuts and berries.

The meat was great, because of high caloric density: we only needed to eat a fraction of the volume, to consume the same potential energy.

Sugar existed in the form of fruit or honey: we had to climb trees, or confront beehives, to access that extremely high level of caloric intake.

It’s all evolutionary. But I digress.

wrt Saife, I appreciate is insights about Bitcoin and economics. Keynesianism is inherently flawed, and Saifedean points that out. He also offers a solution - Bitcoin.

I agree with him on that.

But I think *delivery* is very important. If you want to convey a message that is critically important to humanity’s path, how it’s written matters, and I think Bitcoin Standard could use a “second edition” in that regard.

Yeah I took the route of the money aspect and the technical route at the same time and read mastering Bitcoin. That hit a lot of aha moments for me as something who is fairly competent in technology.

For some reason I really didn’t understand mining until I read it. The analogies were too abstract in other literature.

Send it to sub 15k. If you guys think a bank failing somehow weakened bitcoins fundamental value proposition, I encourage you to sell it all now.

I will be trying to get extra shifts and sell assets and generate as much fiat as possible to scoop up the value while I can.

A few tough decisions and hard work over the next few years will define how, or IF you can retire from clown world.

It’s fair enough that some criticisms of the book is that it pulls no-coiners into a world viewpoint they aren’t ready for too quick.

For me it helped de-shitcoin me.

I’m conflicted.

On one hand, Saifedean’s exhibits classic dunning-Kruger qualities: relying his expertise in one specific niche to validate (obviously misplaced) “mastery” of other areas of study.

On the other hand, I grew up in USA, where things are far from perfect, but the gov/financial system is nowhere near as bad as Lebanon. I recognize that privilege. And so I can understand why someone in a hyper-inflationary environment would argue that gov’t officials and financial “leaders” are unilaterally corrupt.

The world is nuanced, and so are my opinions. As a result, it requires mental and emotional processing to begin “sorting” these conflicts and my opinions thereof.

TFW you publicly criticize the flaws in Saife’s Bitcoin bible, knowing you’re a bitcoiner through and through
