I’ve just started reading this. I have high expectations!
Yes.
It’s probably not the pinnacle recommendation for every adult. Intellectually lazy and high time frame fiat brains likely won’t finish it.
But for anyone open to hearing the ultimate long-form why, absolutely.
This works also 
Same here - it’s now my first recommendation for anyone new, along with @Lyn Alden excellent video summary. After that I tell them there is a lot more I can recommend and my next list is usually
- check your financial privilege
- the price of tomorrow
- layered money
Me : Go to a grocery store and buy a dozen eggs
Wish I were this smart. Lyn the quiet rock star.
Agreed. This one seemed very normie-accessible to me, as opposed to Principles of Economics by Saife for example, that's a book for if you're already a bitcoiner.

Hey James - can I get a follow over here? Need to up my game on this decentralized comms platform.
good starter, even better recap after a while

Yessir. Or just think about how good/bad is your money. You only don’t notice because you are getting rich on leveraged real estate…but that will change.
Have not read it, but knowing Lyn. Is this not way to deep for the usual nocoiner family member?
It is quite accessible.
I'd wholeheartedly agree. My contribution is to fill in the silence before the question "Why Bitcoin?".
I've written what I'm calling Bitcoins adventure textbook. An action adventure novel to Trojan horse the orange pill into fertile minds.

Bob Welcome to Nostr!
If you are a subscriber to Spotify premium it’s available as an audio book for no additional charge
or with her 30 minute video since so many people don't read
A Classic, Heidi and Flavio during her best times. 😅👍🏻
This is still on my reading lists. 📚 That is getting longer and longer since apart from stacking sats I love (obviously) stacking book piles. 😂🤷🏼♂️
Hi James. Saw your recommendation in X for the Primal client. Have switched over from Amethyst. Primal feels better. Thanks.
Thank you sir!
First 3/4 are amazing before Saifedean starts going off the deep end
What I consider the #1 Bitcoin book. Which is awesome, considering 95% does not talk about it. You just naturally come to that conclusion
It really is a fantastic book.
Right on Adam. 👊
Word Deon
Incredible book
Word?
Hmmm. Yes
No - she makes the information understandable to all. Not your typical history/economics read! Easier and better!
Also @Lyn Alden's 30 min video is a great primer / entry point
Showed the video to my parents and wife. Not all are fully Orange-pilled yet but getting there. At least they realize the problem
brilliant
That’s Gen X for ‘Cool’
You’re a gem.
How? Where? I tried looking 👀
I just spam @WhyBitcoinOnly.com everywhere
You made me chuckle. I'm early GenX (1962). The 70s defined my childhood and teens. But in South Africa where I was born, we used 'groovy'.
Me, decentralized freedom.
But you have to be Spotify Premuim to listen for free
Or her video @Lyn Alden
Must read, indeed
I have one but can’t find it. Got a link?
Such a good book. One my favourites.
The Bitcoin Standard will always have a special place for me of course.
But is it sacrilege in the community to say Broken Money is a more important work imho?
This (and Ray Dalio's video) are some quality content for free
