All of the profits from the first thousand copies of Broken Money went to the Human Rights Foundation, since Alex Gladstein's public research was so useful for the book and I like the work they are doing worldwide. The profits from the next four thousand copies went to making an animated half-hour video about Broken Money to reach people that haven't read the book, which we released a few days ago. My graphics/editing team wanted to make sure that the video had good average viewer time in the first week to help with the YouTube algorithm, rather than the video be sent a ton of clicks that might watch it only briefly and hurt the early quality metrics, so they advised me to soft-launch it at first. We purposely haven't notified my email list or my Twitter feed yet, etc. But it's out there. It's a half-hour video about the technological evolution of money, with animation. We put a lot of production value into it. And for the people who were sad that I didn't narrate the Broken Money audiobook, I did narrate this video. In the coming weeks I will spread awareness for the video across my platforms, but for starters, it has been found here on Nostr. Enjoy: View quoted note →

This makes me want to deactivate lockdown mode on my iphone to be able to watch youtube. Or could we get an upload somewhere without tracking? Rumble comes to mind.

Any plans for translations? I am always shocked how many German speaking bitcoiners and precoiners are limited by not accessing English materials due a lack of language skills. Would like to help with that if possible.
Thank you Lyn, I’m already not paying any attention to fiat mine duties, and this takes even more attention away from it.

A great job Lyn. I hope to see this book translated into Spanish soon. Thanks for your work!
Saw it yesterday in your site. Was curious to know why you didn't tweet about it. Thanks for explaining it, that's why I love you. You really build yourself a reputation of honesty and transparency. You're a real one.

I started watching it a few days ago and think that I will be using it quite a bit for educational purposes to share with people. 👌

It must be a new moon in Taurus with some potent transits crossing my 28 degrees Pisces Midheaven 28... because I was literally moved to tears (twice) during the part in the video when Bitcoin's White Paper was mentioned... only affirming deeply how intertwined this tech is for my highest purpose and calling this lifetime. Already shared the video on a FB thread complaining about corporate theft. Let's educate the masses. Its time for the collective to stop complaining and be enrolled to start taking proactive action toward taking charge of our own future. I am unemployed and ready to roll my sleeves in any org related to Bitcoin education marketing department.
