 What’s the difference between highlighted and underline? 

There seems to be a method to this technique 
 Well here I wanted the main point to be that ‘money is a ledger’ so that was for sure highlighted. 

Then I wanted him to see :
- Commodity money
- Bank money
- Open-source money 
Are all ledgers, so I underlined them to make sure he still saw them. However, the main thing I wanted to stick out was the word LEDGER, so I put it in bold highlight. 

Also I’m not a reading coach and don’t know much about ADD, but I feel like when you can break it up and force the eyes to look or re adjust I’m assuming it’s probably helpful. 

At its core, money is a LEDGER. 
- Commodity money serves as LEDGER govcrned by nature. 
- Bank money serves as a LEDGER governed by nation states. 
- Open source money serves as a LEDGER governed by users. 
 Excellent technique! Thanks for the answer! 
 Just don’t use a Ledger, hardware wallet, when he starts stacking. 🤭 
 😅 I’ll make a side note 😂
