This goldbug clearly didn’t even read the book, but that doesn’t stop him from crying the loudest and continuing to propogate “the solution” that leads to the perpetual break-down in society since time immemorial. BTW, @Lyn Alden’s book is my favorite read of the year if you haven’t noticed by now. If you’ve read it, or once you’re done, help her out, but more importantly help spread the Bitcoin message by countering idiots like this guy (review below). I think her book has the potential to reach a very broad audience and in a way that destroys many financial mantras since Bretton Woods. https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R3EPQ1QFPFF1JM/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B0CGNVNXK2

Well, yeah that’s funny, but we know there’s lots of tards out there.
It's a r/buttcoin mantra (in case you're unaware, buttcoin is a Reddit community centered around hating bitcoin and other cryptos... I actually think they make good points about crypto in general but I digress). They have observed that when bitcoin's price drops a lot of tether is minted. They attribute the printing of tether to an attempt to stabilize bitcoin's price with 'money printed out of thin air'.
Look Ma, I published something on the internet. Now can I have my bedtime cocoa?

Why do we humans always have to focus on that one person being negative though? Too much publicity to this one guy. The good reviews don’t matter?
You know it’s still bear market territory when tether truthers are still doubling down. I mean, Bitfinex’ed is still out there like a squirrel hunting for a nut.

Just a scared gold bug terrified of what happens when gold is no longer the primary store of value asset.

I just bought mine and can't wait. Lyn will become one of the great investing legends of her time.
“Broken Money” arrived yesterday! Can’t wait to read it. I will definitely put a review in Amazon.

I love the way she props up her main thesis by giving a history of monies and their advantages and disadvantages. You understand immediately how those primitive constraints apply to our curent system and why bitcoin provides a way out
image I mean, look at this clown's reviews. He even calls Saifedean, the author of the Bitcoin Standard, "Jeff". You can picture him in his living-room, listening to Schiff's podcasts, polishing his gold and silver coins, while waiting for the world to come back 500 years backwards.
This guy reminds me that moron is a terribly underutilized word. Lyn’s book just arrived last night and I can’t wait to dig in.
This is rich considering a new gold standard would immediately require internet-compatible IOUs that, ironically, reintroduce the same attack vector by which fiat was backdoor'd to begin with.

The jedi mindtricks we play on ourselves! Lawerence McDonald on twitter saying Bitcoin is a clown show as its down from all time highs! Bet if Gold had soared like Bitcoin and come down to these levels he'd be even more entrenched in his love for Gold!

I've already offered it to my nephew who's studying politics and economics. I bet most of the stuff that's in Lyn's book won't be taught even at higher levels, like questioning the 2% inflation mantra by central banks.
