I’ve just started reading this. I have high expectations! 

 Yes. 

 Wish I were this smart. Lyn the quiet rock star. 

 It’s probably not the pinnacle recommendation for every adult. Intellectually lazy and high time frame fiat brains likely won’t finish it.

But for anyone open to hearing the ultimate long-form why, absolutely. 

 This works also https://image.nostr.build/052619a9bf2ca073e90471b3d12ddaf34d11ce9acb36cfb7e33ddd83a8251539.jpg  

 A Classic, Heidi and Flavio during her best times. 😅👍🏻 

 Same here - it’s now my first recommendation for anyone new, along with @LynAlden excellent video summary. After that I tell them there is a lot more I can recommend and my next list is usually
- check your financial privilege
- the price of tomorrow
- layered money 

 Me : Go to a grocery store and buy a dozen eggs 

 Agreed. This one seemed very normie-accessible to me, as opposed to Principles of Economics by Saife for example, that's a book for if you're already a bitcoiner. 

 Also here

 First 3/4 are amazing before Saifedean starts going off the deep end 

 Hey James - can I get a follow over here? Need to up my game on this decentralized comms platform. 

 Bob Welcome to Nostr! 

 Thank you sir! 

 good starter, even better recap after a while

 Yessir. Or just think about how good/bad is your money.  You only don’t notice because you are getting rich on leveraged real estate…but that will change.

 Have not read it, but knowing Lyn. Is this not way to deep for the usual nocoiner family member? 

 It is quite accessible. 

 Hi James. Saw your recommendation in X for the Primal client. Have switched over from Amethyst. Primal feels better. Thanks.  

 Word Deon 

 Word?  

 That’s Gen X for ‘Cool’ 

 You’re a gem. 

 You made me chuckle. I'm early GenX (1962). The 70s defined my childhood and teens. But in South Africa where I was born, we used 'groovy'.  

 No - she makes the information understandable to all. Not your typical history/economics read! Easier and better! 

 I'd wholeheartedly agree. My contribution is to fill in the silence before the question "Why Bitcoin?".

I've written what I'm calling Bitcoins adventure textbook. An action adventure novel to Trojan horse the orange pill into fertile minds.

 If you are a subscriber to Spotify premium it’s available as an audio book for no additional charge 

 How? Where? I tried looking 👀

 But you have to be Spotify Premuim to listen for free 

 I have one but can’t find it. Got a link? 

 or with her 30 minute video since so many people don't read 

 This is still on my reading lists. 📚 That is getting longer and longer since apart from stacking sats I love (obviously) stacking book piles. 😂🤷🏼‍♂️ 

 What I consider the #1 Bitcoin book. Which is awesome, considering 95% does not talk about it. You just naturally come to that conclusion 

 It really is a fantastic book. 

 Right on Adam. 👊 

 Incredible book 

 Hmmm. Yes

 Also @LynAlden's 30 min video is a great primer / entry point

Showed the video to my parents and wife. Not all are fully Orange-pilled yet but getting there. At least they realize the problem 

 brilliant 

 Mandibles isn't a bad into too. Storytelling sells 

 I just spam  @WhyBitcoinOnly.com everywhere 

 Me, decentralized freedom. 

 Or her video @LynAlden 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk_HWmmwiAs 

 This (and Ray Dalio's video) are some quality content for free 

 Must read, indeed 

 Such a good book. One my favourites.  

 The Bitcoin Standard will always have a special place for me of course.

But is it sacrilege in the community to say Broken Money is a more important work imho? 

 I started with a book called Banking Bad, Corporate cover-ups .. Adele Ferguson. 
A compelling story about corruption in the Australian banking system.
But then read The Fiat Standard and the penny dropped!
