Although #BrokenMoney is about money and finance, I dedicated a full chapter to the topic of privacy.
It covers government financial surveillance, surveillance capitalism, the frequency of data breaches, Snowden, Pegasus, Chinese export of surveillance tech to dictators around the world, etc.
Surrounding chapters are about CBDCs, encryption, and the intersection of financial technology and human rights so it all kind of flows together.
I figure that most people won’t read a book about privacy but if I can stick some privacy-focused content into a money book that will indeed reach a wide audience, it’ll educate a lot of people on the topic that weren’t otherwise looking for it specifically.

On this day & on only this day - took place the shortest war in history, 27th August 1896. Great Britain & Zanzibar went at it for 40 minutes. It started when one (Pro-British) Sultan died and the successor was not to London's liking. At the time Zanzibar was sided by German East Africa. After diplolmatic pressure of the ink failed, it was time to send the Gunboats. During the night one consul noted 'the silence was appalling' In the morning the British raised signal battle would shortly commence. The Sultan stood firm, five minutes later at 09.02.00 hrs the bombardment of the wooden pallace began. By 09.40.00 hrs the royal palace was ablaze, it's remaining occupants surrendered, the Sultan slipped off to German East Africa & the British established a rival , puppet government.

After years of diving into the details of bitcoin and its monetary policy the Omani government has come to the conclusion that bitcoin is Sharia compliant money, which is massive in more ways than one.
