Also, I think you might like this thread

hi michah541,

I fully read and enjoyed your book. I did a brief write up of my thoughts here #328661 a while back which may be helpful (apologies if it's a bit abrasive.)

From memory, I think my main criticism is that the games you outline for Bitcoin failure modes only think one step ahead.

There's little focus on counter measures, of which there are a vast array, to the challenges outlined in your textbook.

Focusing on the nodes as stakeholders in consensus here and elsewhere is of great interest, which I feel was largely unfocused on. This is an oversight.

Nodes are the beating heart of Bitcoin.

I look forward to 2.0 !

But is his star still shining ???

all the ways that matter

yup

that's a hard No.

physical books are superior in every way.

No.

Pedantic, meandering and point-less thread.

specifics and context. Taking a 51% attack out of context and warping it into soft fork dynamics is click bait.

No.

ping me what you setup up eventually on this please. that sounds like an interesting history project

it was really good, can recommend. i'll post a full copy on nostr tommarow.

it was surprisingly good. all the players were in it. bush, obama, paulson, bernake, jamie dimon. it was basically the who's who of the financial crisis in a documentry.

i honestly don't know how I missed this up until now. it was published in 2018, and flew under the radar.

funnily enough, the council of foreign relations hosts a copy of this documentary as an unlisted video on their youtube channel.

funny how the downfall of Lehman and the deepening of the 08 financial crisis into overdrive resulted from the same Chancellor on the Brink of Second Bailout For Banks, just 3 months latter.

lol
