I have upcoming events to talk about my book in Washington DC, Boston, NYC. I’m definitely looking forward to meeting folks IRL.
All events (and links to buy the book) are on my website:

Mark your calendar. Thursday Aug. 3 I will be at PubKey in NYC to talk about my book and do a signing.
I'm giving you advanced warning, so pretty much you don't have any excuses not to show up.
Still need a copy? Buy in advance or on site!

I’m sure the good folks at Apple remember how Kodak came up with the digital camera first and fought it because it didn’t fit their business model.
George Eastman was a pioneer in the camera industry and started Kodak in my home town of Rochester, NY.
As a kid in Rochester I learned about Kodak the same way one learns about Presidents and important history. The same is true for Danny Wegman who invented the world’s best grocery store, also in Rochester.
Even in my AP economics classes, most off the off the cuff examples were about Kodak. They employed thousands of people and had been a staple in Rochester since the late 1880s. The company’s fate was intertwined with the city’s.
The word Kodak was synonymous with taking pictures. Special moments were “Kodak Moments” and this wasn’t a flash in the pan either. Kodak adapted and flexed through the decades. Time and again they were on the front lines on technology and chose to lead.
But Kodak didn’t make their money from selling cameras. The company was profitable because they sold film so people could use their cameras. The only competition I’m aware of on this axis was Fuji.
But my memory here is skewed since using Fuji film where I lived was blasphemous.
I’m really excited to be at the #Bitcoin Freedom Festival to sign books and also to speak the night before at the @BTC_Mass meetup in Boston. June 23-24!!!!

I have a “Bitcoin Basics” talk at my school last night. These is the group that stayed for questions after my talk. Totally engaged. Ready with great questions. Orange pilling one person at a time.
Folks - Dem Senators are already getting a copy of my book thanks to your support of my Kickstarter! Now we have a chance to orange pill members of the House, too! You can donate now.
Donating to this Geyser fund means more copies of my book personally handed to Democrats in the house. I will be with the Satoshi Action Fund in Washington D.C. in June to deliver them myself!
Special thanks to the Satoshi Action Fund and the Orange Pill App for making the event possible.
An interesting discrepancy:
“Bitcoin is for everyone”
“Bitcoin is for enemies”
“People converge on one form of good money”
Also
“I don’t want progressives to learn about Bitcoin. HFSP”

I am thrilled to announce the publication of my book, A Progressive’s Case for Bitcoin
You can now buy the book on my website: www.BitcoinProgressive.com
A huge thank you to the community for your support!
"learn about Bitcoin" is better advice than "buy Bitcoin"
I have lots of great resources - in addition to my book - to learn about Bitcoin listed on my website.
