I’m getting atherosclerosis and colon cancer just looking at that thing.
Don’t sell him short by using the past tense, Evan.
The best way is to not try to take it all in at once — as if that were even possible.
In order to understand Bitcoin as digital money, it helps to first understand what money is, that’s a question that is best answered by understanding philosophy (what makes something “money”?) and history (what has been used as money prior to it being digital?). Answering these questions, alone, can take up a lot of time and are very helpful. Some people are more interested in what makes digital money *secure* and thus study bitcoin from a cryptography perspective. However, security isn’t just about the code, it’s also about hash power. Thus, some people are more interested in hardware technology, and energy markets needed to power that hardware, at scale.
You’re not overthinking it. You can’t.
There is no way to easily get “caught up”. Even if you spent the next year reading book about bitcoin ever published, the industry is moving so fast over the next 12 months, you won’t be able to keep up after you caught up.
My advice, take it slowly. Find the areas (perhaps mentioned above) that are interesting to you and follow your curiosity down the rabbit hole. Study #bitcoin. Ignore and avoid *everything* else in the shitcoin casino.
Nostr bitcoiners are available to recommend books and podcasts.
Meh, there are better books available now.
Are you looking for someone to explain it to you or are you willing to read a few books and listen to a dozen podcasts?
If the latter, we’ve got lots of recommendations.
That was me running a node in 2017. It did not end well. Lost most of the funds.
Wallets now?
You got this, Daniel.
“Don’t be a dummy!”
Not built to last forever…What do you mean?
…oh
Because theism is the ultimate scam?

At the time, it was worth the risk.
Now? Sandstorm has become to stuff of rave nightmares. I feel like I’m serving 25 to life every time I hear it.

for some reason your link didn't work, though I can't spot the difference.
Works for me
Totally.
We *should* all be calling it Asam.
Have started meditation lately just to increase my focus. Let’s see how much disciplined I can stay.

If you think procreation is the only thing that gives life meaning, you are a failure at recognizing the myriad ways a meaningful life can be lived. nostr:note1w2wr4zgqyclhxptdz9az27w5sczuvq5ur7cwa4ypamcg3mtjtcdq6x8vzc
I appreciate your willingness, but I don’t have the time or energy to explain. Sorry. I’m enjoying my Saturday.

Beautiful, but also, there is no such thing as an immortal soul. Let that idea go, too, and enjoy reality as it is.
Life, itself.
