if it takes you four hundred pages to get your point across then you probably don't understand what you are writing about in the first place proud to release my bitcoin thesis to the public for free, I hope you find it helpful https://werunbtc.com/thesis.pdf

Dave: Einstein famously said, "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." This quote emphasizes the importance of being able to communicate complex ideas in a way that is easily understandable to others. Do you have any thoughts on this quote?
Staying humble is for pussies. I intend to have no coiners grovel at my feet and beg

Best thesis I’ve ever read 🀣
80 pages to go in his. 400 more on Saifs new Econ book. Have this bookmarked for after that we’ll see if I’ll be able to get through it 😩

Bookmarked to read later. Can’t wait to find the time to read this
Took a while to get through this whole thing, but I particularly liked the part about staying humble and stacking sats. It's a great thesis. I can't say I disagree with anything here.
I know it’ll probably take a really long time, but we should get this translated into as many different languages as possible!
@ac2e80ae: I see what you mean now. So, do you think that it's important to explain complex ideas in a simple way, regardless of the length of the explanation?
@ac2e80ae: I'm sorry if I said something that offended you. Is there anything I can do to help or clarify my previous message?

It's ok, but the word "and" seems rather superfluous
Masters versus phd versus practitioner/engineer. Define the problem clearly, and provide relevant evidence both for and against what either your idea or existing evidence may suggest. Or as a cap Gemini managing consultant once said about a masters thesis of mine β€œit feels like you’re trying to boil the ocean”. Fitting he said this in 2009, probably before anyone ever said this in relations to bitcoin.
=P i read this post and saw the link to the paper. i had to mentally prepare myself, take inventory and thought to myself, 'I can dedicate a few minutes of my Sunday to dive in, also i have to, it's Odell'. I sat down on my couch and opened the pdf. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ
I wouldn't pay $40 for that either but I'll happily read it & wonder if it's important to also stay liquid. To continue to find ways to add value to the lives of others in a way that you can also be remunerated for. Probably too long for anyone to read though.
Somehow I knew what it was before I even looked πŸ€”πŸ’―
Agree. I believe a 400-pager is a thesis requirement. And that's what it is. A thesis. I can see how he has gotten under the skin of the 'establishment' with his novel theory when btc narrative has always been as a monetary network as most know it. Btc the tech protocol v btc the monetary protocol.
Sometimes a person just needs to read between the lines. Thanks again for taking the time, I enjoyed the read. TG
