I didn't know what to get my mom for Christmas.

Then it hit me on the mail trail yesterday afternoon. Recently she mentioned that she wanted to learn more about the cause of inflation. My uncle and I talk about it around her often.

Her mom, my grandma, lives with her. They're both on a fixed income. They're feeling the pinch of inflation at the grocery store and beyond.

My mom and I started buying Bitcoin the summer after my dad passed away in January of '22. His pension went with him. Six months before that my grandpa passed. So things started to look scarce.

I was just getting into Bitcoin. And one thing I learned was that the government could not inflate it away like our dollars. It seemed like a perfect fit for her.

She took to to Bitcoin with ease. By now I have talked to enough people to see roadblocks arise for most people. Big enough to keep them from buying. Every Bitcoiner who I know has went through this. It's new, risky, and volatile. But Bitcoin keeps knocking.

Michael Saylor, who knows a thing or two about Bitcoin, says people later in life tend to only adopt Bitcoin because they are unusually curious or desperate.

Together we fit into both categories.

So I pulled over on the shoulder of the icy town road, clicked on Amazon, and the rest is history.

It should get here on Christmas Eve. I will deliver it. :-)

The Big Print nostr:npub1d3f4m9dgvkdjxn26pqzsxn6lpfn78sxwllxyt8mp76q0a9zyyjlswhr4xv

It’s great to hear ur personal stories weaved in - only u can tell those. Bitcoiners sometimes (wrongly) think the world doesn’t need another Bitcoin book. Yes more Bitcoin “inspired” books that share your story and your speciality. so many people need the orange pill.

Lawrence was in El Salvador for his speech in the bitcoin histórico event, he gave a great analysis of his book

China and Russia have hitched their futures to gold.

The USA must hitch its future to superior digital gold.

BITCOIN

Lol those are literally the three books I own right now...I love how in sync the minds of bitcoiners are

I think most people don’t understand finance and its history, and have a general impression that you have to have a degree from an Ivy League school to understand it. Like most things, finance isn’t particularly hard, but the terms, applications, and historical context can be a bit of a challenge at first. In order to really get why Bitcoin is important, one needs to understand the history of the fiat system and what is broken about it in order to really understand what #Bitcoin fixes.

I’ve been reading “The Big Print” lately by nostr:npub1d3f4m9dgvkdjxn26pqzsxn6lpfn78sxwllxyt8mp76q0a9zyyjlswhr4xv , and it’s a great read for someone interested in the problem, the history, and the solution, not that I’ve gotten to the solution part yet, but I have a hunch that Bitcoin is the solution that solves a whole bunch of issues.

I suspect that many people feel something is wrong, but can’t pinpoint exactly what the issues are. They probably know that everything is more expensive, but they probably also just assume inflation is normal, but have no idea why it’s not normal. Until they can identify the problems, they can’t embrace the solution.

₿itcoin has so many personal cycles you have to go through.

First you spend your time checking the charts every minute after your first purchase. It drops and you wonder if you’ve done the right thing.

Second you give yourself price guides “when it gets to this number I can buy this or that”

Third you decide to study a bit so you read arguably the most important books nostr:nprofile1qqsg86qcm7lve6jkkr64z4mt8lfe57jsu8vpty6r2qpk37sgtnxevjcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqgcwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8xmn0wf6zuum0vd5kzmq3v5m00 “The Price Of Tomorrow” nostr:npub1d3f4m9dgvkdjxn26pqzsxn6lpfn78sxwllxyt8mp76q0a9zyyjlswhr4xv “The Big Print”

nostr:nprofile1qqsyx708d0a8d2qt3ku75avjz8vshvlx0v3q97ygpnz0tllzqegxrtgppamhxue69uhkumewwd68ytnrwgq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46qwvx80j “The Bitcoin Standard” and you think you’ve got it now.

Fourth you buy more ₿itcoin because you think you’ve finally got “it”.

Fifth you watch the volatility in fiat and you have conviction but flick mentally between the fiat price and what you can do with it and the offering of freedom.

Then……something shifts, ₿itcoin forces you to look inside yourself and you see yourself for the first time. Which in turn reveals what ₿itcoin has been trying to show you all along.

This isn’t just a financial shift this is a once in a lifetime upgrade for the human species through the lense of ₿itcoin. But ultimately through the lense of discovering you for the very first time in your life.

That’s where the freedom comes from.

It was always spiritual, the change was always coming and it is beautiful.

It’s all love.

I’ve given away several copies of Lawrenece’s book— and other books for other people. It’s relatable and also they should seek out Larry and others online if they’re interested and able.

It’s a good relatable play.

Nice work!

Just bought the audible version when I saw this to support you guys. Been trying to convince multiple family members for years who are stubborn as can be. But someone my dad works with recently said that he read The Big Print and it was paradigm shifting for him. My dad is about to read it too. Don’t care if it’s me, nostr:npub1d3f4m9dgvkdjxn26pqzsxn6lpfn78sxwllxyt8mp76q0a9zyyjlswhr4xv , or ANY ONE else, I just want them to wake up to the truth 🙏🏻

Great read brother, finished it yesterday.

Kudos nostr:npub1d3f4m9dgvkdjxn26pqzsxn6lpfn78sxwllxyt8mp76q0a9zyyjlswhr4xv on a tremendous amalgamation on all things end game fiat.

Thank you nostr:npub1d3f4m9dgvkdjxn26pqzsxn6lpfn78sxwllxyt8mp76q0a9zyyjlswhr4xv never underestimate the power of words.

ig it depends on what you mean by money printing. base layer or layer 2 claims. we could see a rise in liquidity in the housing market if rates come down because of people siting on low rate mortgages no?

Order arrived... study #bitcoin

Hey 👋 I'm just a random guy of nonsignificant value like you 😂 but I want to say I love your work and the book was amazing, reading it a second time 😄 keep up the great inspiring work 💯

Just got The Big Print by Lawrence Lepard in the mail 😍

They say the fine print is where trust goes to die — and I say a big print is where fiat goes to die.

Anyone else reading it right now?

Accessible, insightful and truly useful. What a great read!

I’ve unwittingly already done the prerequisite reading of Broken Money and The Fourth Turning, and Lepard’s refrain “Fix the Money, Fix the World” might as well be tattooed on my forehead.

Waiting for the audible

Just finished the “The Big Print” by nostr:npub1d3f4m9dgvkdjxn26pqzsxn6lpfn78sxwllxyt8mp76q0a9zyyjlswhr4xv .

This is an excellent read on what’s wrong with the US financial system (and beyond).

This is a great book to introduce newbies, normies, and boomers to the shortcomings of fiat, and what can be done about it. Larry addresses all of it.

I have bought books for friends and family to help educate people on the importance of sound money.

I’ll be buying several copies to help spread the good word.

Well done Larry. Thank you 🙏

I listen to a lot of Bitcoin podcasts, so I hope I'm not misremembering. Maybe we'll get lucky and nostr:npub1d3f4m9dgvkdjxn26pqzsxn6lpfn78sxwllxyt8mp76q0a9zyyjlswhr4xv can confirm.
