Wife’s clients are finally asking about #bitcoin and want reading material. I advised Saif’s Bitcoin Standard to start. I also liked Edstrom’s “Why Buy Bitcoin” too though from a financial advisor perspective.

Which book would you recommend to a 70/80 year old who has enough money to not worry about inflation 😅?

 The non technical chapters of the 7th Property. Not the simplest but the best coverage of “what is money” I’ve read.

 I would be curious to know what started all of this. And please don’t say it’s because of anything the tangerine turd has said. Bitcoin was created because of people like him, not for him.

 I mean, if y’all are starting to get into bitcoin because you realize fiat is crashing and therefore any risk in purchasing bitcoin is mitigated by that fact, then that makes perfect sense, that’s why I started.

But if you tell me it’s because of something the tangerine turd has said, I’m going to laugh you off of Nostr because that’s the dumbest possible reason to start investing. 

Taking advice from the type of people that bitcoin was created to combat, isn’t very smart.
