Looking for a publisher I've finished writing The Measure of Value, an essay exploring the notion of value, closely tied to the deeper meaning behind a concept such as efficiency. What happens when the lens through which we measure value becomes distorted? And how could the effect of a distorted lens possibly influence our daily approach to economics and our very understanding of Bitcoin itself? Bitcoin enters the argument not as the subject of the book, but as one of its consequences. I'm now looking for an established or independent publisher interested in serious non-fiction around economics, monetary thought, philosophy, Bitcoin and the broader question of how we measure value. The manuscript is finished, both in English and Spanish. I'm initially looking at a physical edition including the two versions (a third one, German, is in the making), potentially in the range of 200–1,000 copies. If you know a publisher, editor, literary agent—or simply someone who understands this part of the publishing world—I'd be grateful for an introduction or a pointer. Especially interested in people who might see the book as something broader than “another Bitcoin book.” DMs open.

Six weeks ago, we documented the first transaction of our pilot. Since then, the merchant has continued saving sats. She does not convert back to fiat. No grand strategy. Just a small change in how value is perceived and held. The story is continuity. A first transaction is an event. A repeated choice is the beginning of an economy.

Time ago someone came up with the notion that each and everybody somehow fosters poverty whenever we indulge in the use of fiat money as the medium of exchange. In the ongoing process of exchanging with one another, fiat quietly introduces compromise between peers, whereas a sound medium of exchange recognizes and reinforces each other's agency. No matter whether we are in favor or against, the process of exchange itself either loosens the chains or makes them tighter. The decision for one medium or another becomes a vote. By the very act of interacting, we either subsidize growth through voluntary cooperation or subsidize the gradual loss of agency through inflation. That is each person's free—yet inescapable—responsibility. The chosen medium of exchange quietly seals the relationship. No compromise is possible in this.
