I actually don't recommend the Bitcoin standard to people any more because of those parts of the book. While he's not necessarily wrong on the food part, He could have left all that crap out along with the personal attacks on keynes and it would have been a much more concise convincing book imo.  

 💯- this is why I prefer Broken Money. Although more dense, it’s also more objective (as is most of Lyn’s writing). 

 🤝 agreed.  

 What are you recommending now then? 

 Broken money. But before that books like "economics in one lesson" and "Creature from Jekyll Island" depending on the person. Personally, I get anyone to read anything about Bitcoin now a days until they understood how fucked up our current monetary system is. IMO people need to understand the current state of things before getting a solution shoved in their face. 

 I dont have anyone* 🤦‍♂️ 

 Saif is ahead of his time.

Food will be unpicked first, ‘Fiat Food’ is already doing that as are all the SeedOilDisrespectoors and the mass of Carnivore influencoors.

Fiat art is obvious to anyone who cares, which isn’t many but to anyone paying attention it’s clear.

I reckon his book will hold up incredibly well over time. 

In future we’ll recognise the flow to be Menger, Mises, Hayek, Rothbard and then Ammous. 

 Yea I don’t disagree with him. Just didn’t think those chapters were necessary or helpful to making his argument. Leaving them out would have made the book more accessible to everyone. 

 Then you’ll see normies come round to these views.

If you don’t disagree, just be patient.

The Bitcoin Standard was never meant to be for everyone IMO. It was meant to persuade those on the cusp of orangepilling.

His goals are not your/my goals. When you see that you’ll understand 

 Yeah I scratched my head reading those sections too. I disagreed at the time. I felt like Ammous had drunk too much of the kool-aid.

After several years of reflection I think he is right.
