Oddbean new post about login | logout Hi to all Nostriches, I am here because I was telling @Duchess that I’m ready to retire from my modeling career and was not sure what I want to do next. She opened my eyes to the idea that I should do something in the #Bitcoin space since my background is #math. I really like the idea of this, but I want to learn more before deciding what path I take carrier wise. I have now started to read what Duchess says is the #BitcoinBible by @saifedean . Have all of you read this book? I also have a few other books that she recommended for me to read when I am done with ‘The Bitcoin Standard’. How did you guys get into Bitcoin? And how many of you are working in a Bitcoin company? #Nostr #NewToNostr #Newbies #GrowNostr #Girlstr #PlebChain #AskNostr https://image.nostr.build/8ba5aad509749d4df46b3ef6693d942349085e09d61ef1f2362c53e7faa5b995.jpg

TO UNDERSTAND BITCOIN AS MONEY ONE MUST FIRST UNDERSTAND MONEY, SAIF TEACHES US THIS 🙏
When I understood what bitcoin truly is, why it is the way it is and what its potential is, it became clear that it is the most fundamental, wide ranging and impactful innovation of my life. Naturally I oriented myself towards that goal and am blessed to now work on this mission every day. I got into bitcoin as one way to make money. I stayed in it because I realized with Bitcoin you can stop looking for these ways and simply focus on your craft/doing what you love because it fixes inflation (and so much more)
Welcome! It is always refreshing to see new comers with little to no Bitcoin experience/interest. You will find here that besides books, there is a great Bitcoin/Nostr community. I personally do not work in IT or Bitcoin, we all have our convictions regarding this commodity. I think that @Duchess would be the best person to guide you in your journey, she has shown the path to manies and I trust that she knows her stuff. Stay humble, stack sats!
Welcome! Let’s get to work!! -Followed 🫡⚡️

The sovergin individual would be a good third or fourth choice. Not specifically a bitcoin book, but a good insight into the social/political landscape bitcoing fits into.
OK I’m gonna answer you and give you some real talk … You’re beautiful woman and sadly because of that you’re gonna face him meanie heads on this site … surely are used to that in real life to being judged based off of your appearance so when the haters come decide how you’re gonna react now love you mean it Now you’ll find that many of us on here I’ll have various backgrounds etc. the best thing I could offer you is just to tell you to be yourself and to be who you are and be authentic because that’s what matters most right 🙏💜🫂
Good morning, it's a pleasure to have you here and I have immense respect for duchess so you're in great company. There are thousands of jobs you could do in the bitcoin space from core dev to lighting, to various apps and projects. @thunder is a great resource to find what your particular passion might be. Happy to answer any questions you have anytime.
🥹thank you 🫂 Yes with her brain @6d028aa4 will really be able to work anywhere, with time she will find her passion in the space and grow from there. 🥰
Can't wait to see it 💜
Trying to understand value investing and how that works. Great podcast that is not that focused on bitcoin but covers also macro and other related topics. https://www.theinvestorspodcast.com/bitcoin-fundamentals/ The broken money book from Lyn Alden
here's a nice "mathy" introduction video to bitcoin, you might have heard of 3Blue1Brown : https://youtu.be/bBC-nXj3Ng4
here's a pretty good and up to date introduction for everyone: https://youtu.be/d7ID3fKAFQM
Some of the best articles https://dergigi.com/
working for a company working to build decentralised collaboration systems... not bitcoin only, but they pay me in bitcoin and the chief is friendly to #nostr as he percieves it as a viable foundation to build properly decentralised social media and messaging systems it's hard to get funding to do bitcoin only stuff, so i think it's not a bad thing to build with nostr and all that goes along with it but helps build bridges that make it easier for minds and hearts to open up to the core message and not get distracted with all the hype and influencoors
Gorgeous dress! What brand is it?
Thank you! It’s Lanvin 💜
I love 🇫🇷Lanvin! I don’t really like the textured fabric on the shoulders but otherwise, everything else is beautiful. You’re very pretty and photogenic!
I love fashion on nostr! Hope to see more!
Agree. But alas, it’s mostly bitcoin bros on here and 💻GEEKS!
If you’re looking for fashion, try that other one full of SHALLOW PRETTY stupid people (mostly DESPERATE for Attention Girls/Women) which I obvi do *NOT* use!
the white paper https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-paper this is a good one too https://vijayboyapati.medium.com/the-bullish-case-for-bitcoin-6ecc8bdecc1

Work as a retail Credit Risk Analyst. Wanted to understand if Bitcoin was a threat to the banks. After a few thousand hours I decided it was. My paper spells out my views from my perspective of how a bank manages its risk.

I got into bitcoin because I felt these really smart people in the space knew something I didn’t and I needed to find out. I had no ego. I wasn’t smart enough to just know, I had to learn and I also found a mentor knowledgeable in economics and bitcoin security. Back in 2012 you couldn’t just go on YouTube and learn it. I’m not working at a bitcoin company since I have a career in another field but I’ve been stacking sats and mentoring noobs…paying it forward.
“Economics in One Lesson” by Hazlitt is a good introductory book for understanding the economic thinking of Satoshi and others who are building Bitcoin.
Feel free to follow my content. I post about all things Bitcoin on nostr and X.
Yes. Also read The Fiat Standard, coz I found that the Bitcoin Standard is a bit too biased towards gold and I think Saifedean realised that too, hence the follow-up. I also read Web of Debt before The Bitcoin Standard and that shows how fiat has actually been useful at times in history in the short term, in particular The American Revolution, which facilitated America breaking away from England with unbacked fiat in circulation. This book predates Bitcoin and argues for a fiat system where govt issues it itself without having to pay interest to a lending bank, and not inflating the supply without backing. Of course this is nonsense to Bitcoiners now, but the book gives a good history of money and nefarious financing. Also Broken Money by Lynn Alden, Price of Tomorrow by Jeff Booth, Inventing Bitcoin, Mastering Bitcoin and The Sovereign Individual
She got so many great #Bitcoin resource suggestions, I think she will be well occupied for this year 📚 nostr:nevent1qqsdu0mmt7n4xv6e9tpl5mnrtrw86d9kmyh3aduwxhh95vgwrr45xhspz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7q3qd5pg4fy6586cfv7ntthflnhgu0qdsyggz9pgn2sydfuknvs7kh6sxpqqqqqqz5kn0fm
Got into bitcoin through some YT videos of people talking about it. Afterwards, yes I read The Bitcoin Standard, it's a good book to read at least in the begging of your bitcoin journey. Not working on bitcoin, but making some Nostr apps.
Nostr apps are cool 😎
Hier Fiat a transmis une note qui peut très utile , surtout pour pouvoir utiliser aisément cet environnement..En tous les cas au regard de mes observations sur la plateforme nostr est c'est un environnement très collaboratif où vous pouvez trouver des professionnels prêts à vous soutenir , apporter de l'aide...les idées sont aussi partagées P2P voire entre tous avec un certain d'esprit critique qui permet de progresser

What do you mean by "background in math"?
I graduated from the Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at Lomonosov Moscow State University
I don't believe you.
@Jameson Lopp has a website with tons of info: https://www.nostr:npub17u5dneh8qjp43ecfxr6u5e9sjamsmxyuekrg2nlxrrk6nj9rsyrqywt4tp.net/bitcoin-information.html He's also a bad ass dev, so you should follow him if you aren't already.

Welcome! I think you’ll enjoy it
Brilliant book. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I got orange pulled by a fellow carnivore, in the early days of covd. What a fascinating rabbit hole BTC is! I'm a homesteader in southern Portugal.
„The Bitcoin Standard” is very good starting point 👍 Maybe this will be also helpful https://andersbrownworth.com/blockchain/ Enjoy 😉
Hi Visola! I got into bitcoin from the man I was dating who is now my husband 🥰 I am a wife, soon to be mom, but I also babysit for a family who pays me in bitcoin! One day I would love to have a small business that takes bitcoin (I sew, teach music, write/edit, so it could be anything, we'll see!)
Wow. What a great path and congratulations on becoming a mom! You have many talents 💕 so you have endless options for the business
For context, because BTC is so much more than one thing, go through these episodes that keep getting banned but are so authentic. https://primal.net/e/note1cleu8qfwsprzp3kdzmrwxacffu4p476865qln40f6g8k40hr8fvsnga3u3
