The profits (which are about $5/book) from the first 1,000 copies of Broken Money are going to the HRF Bitcoin Development Fund.

I think I will put the profits from copies 2,000-5,000 into making a slick animated YouTube video about the history of money and banking and the emergence of Bitcoin (basically the 30-minute summary of Broken Money). Kind of like Dalio’s “How the Economic Machine Works” video.

A popular 500 page finance book can reach tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people. But an equivalent video, while not as deep, has the potential to reach millions as a different part of the knowledge funnel.

Because, I dunno. Fuck profits I guess. The rest of my business covers profits; the book is for a different purpose.

he probably didn't use an iphone🤣

anyone get the sarcasm?

Snowden clearly know diff between an app and a protocol🥸 nostr:note1znv4dwr3z8d5caye76v9avd279k5t0jt393n4dlklmvsryyakm9q4gv0dm

6 months back I finally removed windows from my desktop computer. Been waiting for this for over 20 years.

Crazy how people are offered a way out and they prefer to stay trapped.

Just boarded an eleven hour flight to Cairo. Going to spend the whole time doing a final proof-read of Broken Money to find the straggling typos that me and my editor missed, so my formatter can fix them in the final manuscript.

It’s funny- no matter how many rounds of editing you do on a book, there are always still some there.

good morning nostr, we cannot expect to reason with the oligarchs of our time - we must route around them - freedom tech fixes this 🫡

Never even knew was FOSS was until a few months ago. Even as a Bitcoiner. Now I’m radicalized. This is important.

It's kind of a verbal meme, but one of my favorite questions is, "what radicalized you?" Since I'm someone who appeals to moderates with a tempered but purposeful element of anti-establishment fire, it's kind of a notable question.

My first thought is, "well let me tell you about my childhood and why I'm not a huge fan of the state."

My second thought is, "let's talk about the global financial crisis."

My third thought is, "look at the 2016 time period where U.S. fiscal deficits started to wonkishly deviate from unemployment.

My fourth thought, regarding the Current Thing, because nobody wants to go back that far, is, "they replaced a beautiful blue bird with an X and said it would be half of the global financial system."

And that made me angry.

Who needs reddit when you have nostr communities? 😉
