This is a fair assessment of Natalie Brunell's book. While the book probably isn't for everyone, those relatable comparisons are what we need to bridge the gap for non-Bitcoiners. If you drink wine, her example of money dilution being like adding water to wine is perfect (p. 30) - it makes inflation feel personal. No one wants watery wine! Why should we accept watered down money?

I remember those first few transfers. It felt like a high-stakes wire transfer... the stress and anxiety of having the responsibility to get it right. And then waiting for the transfer to go through, even though it was just a few minutes, felt like a lifetime. It takes some getting used to, but once you move to Lightning, that weight lifts and it feels much easier.

Howdy! Great to be here. Excited to be part of the community!

Hi there! Thanks for the warm welcome and the intro to ~Agora. I’m a big believer in the P2P aspect of Bitcoin and am excited to spend some time exploring these real-world use cases! Stack on!

Thanks! I'm planning to make real-world case studies a core part of my weekly newsletter, with a dedicated section for them on Substack.

I’ll be sharing the first one in the next couple of weeks. I’d love to know what you think when it drops!
