Agree.
I started a meetup and it has been a positive experience with lots of good connections.
Virtue signalling much?
This is a cheap PR stunt. Looks like some intern spent 20 mins uploading logos to a merch mockup site.
PRH is a joke.
p.s. That hoodie should be put in jail for crimes against fashion.
We will be at Bitcoin Film Festival in Warsaw (May) to talk more about the project and share news about how you can get involved our journey from books to the big screen.
Short fiction allows us to present a lot of interesting what-ifs and how-to-fight-backs.
I'm happy bitcoiners and the freedom space is embracing storytelling and fiction more.
What about some 21 Futures animations next?
P.s.
21 Futures Role Call.
Any other contributors here on SN?
I see both sides of this.
Firstly, I agree that we have enough books ABOUT bitcoin.
Most authors in the space simply want to reframe 'what is bitcoin' or 'why bitcoin'? for a normie audience. They think they can succeed where dozens of other books have failed.
I don't agree with the AVB post about poor editing. The topic is technical and niche - so it's not a surprise that there are few editors of the quality of Big 5 publishers. The author misunderstands how publishing works.
Most of the second-rate bitcoin books are due to self-pub and not paying for top quality editing.
I think there will be a shift towards Bitcoin adjacent topics (bitcoin+ if you will).
We need more books about how increased adoption changes other aspects of society and life. Plus we need more fiction.
Until recently, all of the bitcoin and crypto-themed fiction was self-published and quite low quality.
It was authors trying to cash in on the mystery of Satoshi or those who wanted to expose 'crazy heists' and altcoin wars.
I saw fiction as a way to reach out to those who are not INTJ or INTP on the Myers Briggs scale. Most visionaries and early adopters in bitcoin come from a narrow subset or the spectrum and are technically minded.
Fiction lovers come in all shapes and sizes, but I thought Tales from the Timechain would engage both bitcoiners and nocoiners.
