I was a Financial Advisor skeptic until I gradually, then suddenly, turned into a bitcoin believer, thanks to some books that converted me. Here are 6 pivotal books I read on my way to bitcoin maximalism: The Church and the Market - A Catholic Defense of the Free Economy - Thomas E Woods "..the monetary system is best which observes the most basic moral rules: do not steal and do not commit fraud." You Can Be a Stock Market Genius - Joel Greenblatt "..when Bob chooses his favorite stocks and is on pick number twenty, thirty, or eighty, he is pursuing a strategy imposed on him by the dollar size of his portfolio, legal issues, and fiduciary considerations, not because he feels his last picks are as good as his first or because he needs to own all those stocks for optimum portfolio diversification. In short, poor Bob has to come up with scores of great stock ideas, choose from a limited universe of the most widely followed stocks, buy and sell large amounts of individual stocks without affecting their share prices, and perform in a fish bowl where his returns are judged quarterly and even monthly." The Driver - Garet Garrett "Economists write about it as the struggle for sound money (gold), against unsound money (silver), and that leaves it where it was. Money is not a thing either true or untrue. It is merely a token of other things which are useful or enjoyable." The Bitcoin Standard - @Saifedean Ammous "It is no wonder that eight years after its invention, blockchain technology has not yet managed to break through in a successful, ready-for-market commercial application other than the one for which it was specifically designed: Bitcoin" The Ethics of Money Production - Guido Hülsmann "In the old days, saving was typically done in the form of hoarding gold and silver coins. It is true that such hoards did not provide any revenue—the metal was "barren"—and that they therefore did not lend themselves to the lifestyle of rentiers. But in all other respects money hoards were a reliable and effective form of saving. Their purchasing power did not just evaporate in a few decades, and in times of economic growth they even gained some purchasing power." Bitcoin is Venice - Allen Farmington, Sacha Meyers "What do we stand to gain? As these parasitic, rent seeking intermediaries whittle away, should institutions want to save, be they pension funds, charities, endowments, corporate treasurers, insurance floats (or what is left after securitized DLCs are done with them), they need not engage in leveraged speculation. They need never engage in the scourge of “passive investment,” nor accidentally pool the leverage of governance that is legally and fiduciarily due to their beneficiaries into a glaring political attack vector for degenerate fiat activists to infiltrate and co-opt. They need only stack sats — something they can do with no bankers, brokers, or asset managers, and that will be commonplace among teenagers, if not even younger children."

Books that Turned Me From Financial Advisor Skeptic to Bitcoin Advocate

My descent into bitcoin madness happened gradually, then suddenly. I comment on the books that I read on my way from agnostic to bitcoin maximalist.

I went to the funeral today of a good man who died well.

The bitcoin families I have met with, where the couple is aligned, are usually adopting some version of traditional marriage roles. He’s orange pilled. She’s mildly into it, but mostly trusts her husband to be a good steward of their money.

Hello to all my nostr faithful.

Warren Buffett says to read 500 pages a week. Yet The Atlantic recently reported that kids aren't "following in love with reading" anymore... what gives? Brian O'Leary joined me on The Reformed Financial Advisor podcast to make our case for reading books. Then we launch into a barrage of about 200 book recommendations, including:

Is “Juneteenth” still a holy day of obligation?

Let’s talk about surrogacy. So many sycophants during “pride month” celebrating the buying of children by celebrity “alternative lifestyle” influencers. What an irony that feminism resulted in the normalization of women literally selling their bodies to rich white men.

For forbid that blackrock doesnt do with bitcoin what it did to index funds

One thing I appreciate about nostr is that guys don’t bring up their anxiety every 5 minutes
