It is an amazing book. Thank you
I listened to this while running. It's a great book, Lyn. I think that all that are new to finances, money, and Bitcoin should read it.
honestly Lyn I love this book it is such a treasure trove of essential information thank you so much for writing it
Great book, top 3 in the space for sure! ๐ค
Awesome.Is it only on Audible as an audiobook or where else can I get it?
Appreciate you
Awesome, only on Audible or can be listened elsewhere?
I just decided to start rereading it this morning :-)
When will there be a translation to pt-PT?
Congrats! But I'm planning on initiating a movement to spam Lyn in all platforms until we get Broken Money in the main languages!

It was a great book, especially coming from an academic background. Other Bitcoin books were more hand wavy subjective.
noticed recently that just mentioningto people that Our Money is Broken is one of the best conversation starters.. (to introduce people Bitcoin)..
Listened to it on Audibleโฆ loved it ๐ซก๐๐ผ thank you for the education
Your book and the associated video you mafe are always the first resources I recommend to newcoiners. I find them very accessible and inclusive for anyone who would like to start digging the rabbit hole. Thank you for bringing these resources to the World!
This has become the top book I recommend to help others understand money, banking, and bitcoin.
Bravo on writing such a great book ๐ ๐ ๐
Having initially listened to the audiobook and then the physical hardcover (I wanted to see all the visual aids).. I enjoyed it as a bridge to understanding economics, history and Bitcoin.
Fantastic work.
I recommend it first before BTC Standard, personally.
Lyn, when 2nd book? We love your work! ๐
Without a doubt a recommended reading! Thank you for writing it!
Grateful that you did write it!
I wish more people would read this book as there are so many misunderstandings that exist around money that this book explains
And what a book!
I am glad you wrote this book. I always thought I understood money but then I read this book and now I get it! I was bullish on Bitcoin but now I really see Bitcoin as paradigm shift in money. I think this book will make a meaningful financial impact in every readers life and I wish it becomes an even bigger success than what it already is!
That's crazy it's been a year already.
Seriously, thank you so much for writing this book. You are so gifted with explaining things and laying out ideas and concepts in a manageable way. I'm probably not the only one who feels this way but you have made my life better, not just for bringing this information to the forefront but for making me think about the legacy financial systems and think "what is money, really?", "why are these things the way that they are?" . You are the Signal in a world full of Noise.
Thank you!
I read your book and Mandibles back to back. ๐
Thank you for this underfull book
Does anyone know if there will be a German translation? Looking for Christmas gifts

Broken Money was published a year ago this week
Thanks to everyone who read it, shared it, and reviewed it! ๐
I resisted writing a book for years since itโs such a tedious process, until finally a book formed in my head that I felt needed to exist, and that was too distracting for me *not* to write. And then I poured everything I had into it.
Am I the only one who tried to scroll the pictures? Lol
One of the best books I've read
Thank you, will have to check it out!

Thank you for creating a financial book that everybody can understand and therefore everybody should read
Thanks Lyn. Itโs obvious you put a tremendous amount of work into this book. Longest book Iโve picked up in a long time, but your writing was engaging and full of useful information. I believe it will be relevant for decades as we look back at this time in history.
When I received it and found out it was 500 pages I was wondering will I ever finish this book, how can you have that much text on money.
But damn I went through it like it was nothing. Thank you so much for writing it! ๐๐
One of the best and thoughtful books Iโve ever read. Thank you so much Lyn!
Such a good read - thank you for creating ๐ค๐งก and publishing
I'm only one third into it, I'm a slow ready with fee free time, but it's excellent so far, I find myself re-reading some paragraph to be sure I understand everything properly, so it's really bringing me a lot.
Thanks for writting it.
Thank you for writing the book. It educated me that inflation is not a naturally occurring phenomenon but rather intentionally induced by the government to encourage spending and discourage saving.
Iโm due for a reread!
Thank you ๐ this book has changed peoples lives!
Was a great read. You have beautiful writing!
Such a good book, gave it to my kids to read.
A masterpiece for sure!
One of the best books I have ever read. It really helped me connect the dots in how the financial system machinery works.
I've lost count of the amount of people I've recommended it to.
Great read. Definitely recommend!
Happy Anniversary ๐ Congratulations Lyn.
I've read it a few times now. it's fantastic.
Haven't done the mandible. need to get on that one.
you might be right on this one. ๐ค
very compelling and well researched. quite the accomplishment - congrats Lyn
I got the audiobook version read by Guy Swann yesterday... next book on the list.
Ah, thanks for the reminder, just picked it up on Kindle to read while hiking in a few weeks.
Congrats! I certainly benefited from your effort
Spotify premium has it
It was a pleasure to read.

Great book
@Lyn Alden and thank you for your decision to write it. It's a book that will be remembered years from now.
I put off reading it because I thought it might be too analytical and possibly a bit dry, like so many other other books on money. Found it on Audible a few weeks back, decided to give it a listen and practically devoured it. Itโs a great book and superbly narrated by
@Guy Swann Well worth a read or listen. ๐ง ๐ค
Well thank YOU for writing it.
There's been so many twists & turns in the Bitcoin Rabbit Hole that I never expected, but reading great books has been a huge highlight
In fact, I would argue that everyone here in Nostr is likely self-learners
None of us would be here if not for the hard work of the people that we've been able to learn from en route
It's a top 5 recommendation to anyone wanting to learn about #Bitcoin in my view
I particularly enjoyed
1) your point about debt existing pre money
2) how you highlighted the inevitable failure of gold due to the advances of communication technology
3) the mechanics of broad vs narrow money

@pแดษพษWBest money book hands down, sorry
@Saifedean AmmousI've got that and cant find it. Got a link by chance?
Legendary book! Recommended!
Have not read yet but on the list.
Along with
@gladstein's Check your financial privilege I consider these two books the best I've read in the past year.
Congratulations!
this book totally changed my perspective on a lot of how the world works.
can't believe it's been almost a year!
Has anyone purchased one of the workbooks in addition??? Curious if it would help.
Bought!
It changed me. Thank u.
Last pages! Learned a lot! Thanks Lyn!
Iโve seen this enough times now. Iโm starting it today!! ๐ค๐ป
Totally agree with this comment!
Great book and perfectly structured, written and narrated.
Happy book anniversary, Lyn! I'm reading my copy for the 2nd time now (and probably not the last time). And/or will give it to one of my precoiner friends.
I lent my marked up soft cover to my dad. He loved it but lost it ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ. This is the most digestible book I have ever read on the evolution of money and a great book to lend out to open eyes to the fiat scam. Thanks for the post it reminded me to buy a replacement copy but this time it will be the hardcover from Saif!
I just finished it a couple of weeks ago. A truly fantastic work. I learned an incredible amount. Thank you!
Gave it to my husband for x-mas - He loved it! ๐ฅ
This feels like good advice for life: when something feels irresistible not to pursue, thatโs the right threshold for when to commit.
Thanks for you work.
Itโs a masterpiece!
Yes it is!
๐
I loved it so much Lyn, that I bought a copy for my local library.
It is a great book, Lyn!
Who will play you in the film ๐ฅ??
No bookstore I've checked in #Asia and Middle East has it on the shelf.
Only Amous is here.
Best of the best. The ultimate deep dive on money, what it is, and why Bitcoin represents the single biggest stride in the storage of human time and energy since the adoption of gold.
Is there an audio version?
Absolutely, though on a slightly different subject- I would include Fiat Food, by Matthew Lysiak
Thank You Lyn for the book. I learned some barter exhange in the past from Junior school but nothing further. Your book Broken Money has very deep explaination about Money and What is Money. I recommended it to all my friends whether they care about money or not. #NOSTR #decentralized #realmoney
This book is a masterpiece and a must-read. It deserves to be translated into every language and read worldwide.
If you have friends or family members who don't understand the need for Bitcoin, I guarantee this book will enlighten them.

I loved this book. Thanks for finally writing it!!
Time goes so fast
Great book! I own the audiobook and work with my hands most the day at work so just pounded through it-appreciate your work, thank you

Such a great book.
๐๐๐
Canโt wait to read
