I am at a loss for words, I really could not have imagined the feelings I gained once reading your comments. @Duchess told me that #nostr became her go to place for information, friendships and inspiration. I also remember she told me “Trust me, Nostr feels like home, you will see.” Her words could not have been more true. Thank you guys for being so kind, writing such nice things, and taking the time to share so many bitcoin books, websites, videos and podcasts with me. Some of the books you guys have recommended are actually in the bundle of books Duchess gave me along with the Bitcoin White Paper and a few others that she brought over the next morning at breakfast, so they will for sure be my next step. Here are the ones she gave me and I can’t wait to read👇 ⁃ The Bitcoin Standard & The Fiat Standard by @saifedean ⁃ Broken Money by @LynAlden ⁃ Everything Divided By 21 by @knutsvanholm ⁃ The Price of Tomorrow by @Jeff Booth ⁃ 21 Lessons by @Gigi ⁃ The Blocksize War by Jonathan Bier ⁃ The Bullish Case for Bitcoin by Vijay Boyapati ⁃ The Bitcoin White Paper (She printed it for me, but this is a good link someone shared https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-paper) She said she had not read Fiat Food and Principles of Economics yet, but she gave them to me anyways. I see none of you recommend those, should I put them on the side to read later? Duchess compiled a list of all the books you guys recommend and I am adding your recommendations to my future list of books to read when I’m done with the ones I have 📚 https://image.nostr.build/433634de3a4ef4121960e3de9cdb87475ceccf2636e752667be7cb60e160efff.jpg https://image.nostr.build/42be9b0ad8d7312f29252974fca62c208b372dc43535d766a5afd00591d2afdc.jpg

That's a super solid list. I haven't read the others you mentioned, but, they are on my "eventually" list. And, duh! Duchess is pretty rad, super smart, and pretty darn good company, so... Yeah. Of course it's pretty cool here. Enjoy

Don't trust, verify: Rule 29 states: In the internet all girls are men and all kids are undercover FBI agents. Rule 30 states: There are no girls on the internet. nostr:nevent1qqszczd04y9j9wygp7d9t3xxpll7utsdgg2lqtv0rjxuxpdceccf7xcpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcpzqmgz32jf4g04sjeaxkhwnl8w3c7qmqgssy2z3x4qg6nedxepad04qvzqqqqqqy2an8dw

If you're looking for something a bit "lighter" to read in between all of those, pick up The Mandibles It's a fiction that follows the lives of a super rich family just at the start of usd hyperinflation. A really good read and what's amazing is its NOT written by a bitcoiner. Yet if you read from a bitcoin lense, it's like a playbook and our current reality is maybe somewhere in the first third of the book

My fingers are crossed, I don’t want to push her, but I really feel it could be fitting for her. I know being a Bitcoin Core Dev is quite changing, but she is really absorbing everything quite fast so it feels like a step in the right direction. 😍🤞🧡

My only caution would be this … when I first got here. I was flying through everything almost too quickly, and I needed to slow down in order to concentrate and decide what was most important for my own sanity, family etc. Your pace is the right pace, and don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise love you mean it

The fountainhead and atlas shrugged are also pretty good to have read. I have not yet read “The sovereign individual” but it’s been recommended to me by multiple unrelated people, so I imagine it’s also pretty good. All of these aren’t as directly related to bitcoin though

Considering your background “Mastering Bitcoin” could also be quite interesting for the low level technical details of how bitcoin works https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook/blob/develop/BOOK.md

I’ve consumed so much Bitcoin content through books, articles, and podcasts that I can no longer continue reading them. My conviction in bitcoin can’t grow anymore through education. Now it’s time to live. I recommend you read books on how to improve your life (after you feel you aren’t learning anything new anymore from the bitcoin books). Some of my book recommendations that have changed my life: Deep Nutrition by Cate Shannahan. This is for fixing your health through food. Body by science by Doug McGuff. This is for improving your physical health through exercise once a week. How I found freedom in an unfree world by Harry Browne. This will help you develop your own moral compass and value system. Most of our values are adopted from society and enslave us. Dopamine nation by Anna Lembke. This one is about how vulnerable our brain chemistry is to modern society and how that impacts our happiness. Education free and compulsory by Murray Rothbard. This is about how the school system came to be and what its true purpose is for.

Principles of Economics by @saife is very good. As you hang out in #Bitcoin many people will offhandedly mention Austrian Economics and how it applies to so much. I was frustrated because I didn’t see anyone explain it and I was intimidated to read Menger, Mises, Hayek, Rothbard, etc. Principles is a fantastic textbook on Austrian economics. Just another very well written easy to understand volume.

I feel like this account is an elaborate catfish 🐱 🐟 😅 But my suspicions aside, if you are a real person, or at least anybody reading this is a real person, then yes, that is a helluva list if you're up for a deep dive into money and #Bitcoin. My personal favorites from your shortlist have to be Broken Money and The Price of Tomorrow. I have not read The Principles of Economics yet, but heard great things and that it's a good segway to Saif's other books, so I'm sure that ones's also a safe bet. The Sovereign Individual is also a great one for a macro overview of the sociopolitical shift. Especially impressive considering it was published in 1997.

Reed - Bitcoin Billionaires by Ben Mezrich - Bitcoin & Black America by Isaiah Jackson - Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell - Bitcoin: Hard Money You Can’t Fuck With by Jason A.

Ihaven’t read Fiat food yet, but looking forward to soon. Principles of Economics is more of a textbook than a book. The best way to read it is to follow along the course on Saifedean’s Youtube channel or Saifedean.com

So some slut selling sex as a “model” poses looking like a whore with books about Bitcoin and @jack and all the bros on here follow the whore. 😂😂 Clearly Bitcoin does NOT fix pathetic men chasing after brainless sluts

Amazing 💜 Here are some for Nostr in particular 👇 nostr:nevent1qqs8a4k7r2sjrvwa5hlt0qjacfh2e38vzz9tyneg448kw2ts3e3aprcpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgsqqx9hacelkffcgd3ecchzjtlvwq9xn2fmprhrwnzmm2t3exee2eqrqsqqqqqpe2jmwu
