Look at @blocktock 's response. It proves that your lazy cynicism is bullshit.
Glad you got some value from it!
Any other books are on your hit-list? Enjoy using SN to house my fav quotes. Way more convenient than digging-out old notes or scribbled-on books.

I also posted a bounty this morning for The Mandibles. (They say it's just a fictional When Money Dies, under the impossible scenario that the future US collapse does not impact other countries.)
I may think of a few more. I want to read "The Block size Wars", "This Machine Kills Secrets" and "Tracers in the Dark," but I don't think a summary will suit my needs... Although perhaps a summary would be handy even if I do read the whole thing.
I was thinking of soliciting summary requests and trying to turn it into a business, but I didn't go forward with that project. You could! Maybe if you made your own SN post with a list of books you would be willing to summarize, and then you could try to crowd fund it.

It would be interesting to do a comparative review/summary of multiple popular Bitcoin books. I think there is a lot of overlapping content.

I would pay for a summary of the fiat standard!

Fiat standard makes sense @Modus. As does the Bitcoin hitlist - agree on there being a lot of overlapping content and a lot more to learn from having all in one place.
Nice to know there's a niche demand for these things in the community, rather than the regular open-source software & podcasting content

Interesting idea, like it! Will see what I can do.
In terms of side projects, I've plenty to think about also. But keen to get back into the habit of reading. Mostly non-fiction. I have also had recommended to me 'Diamond Age' which is fictional and a long-read - but very topical at this time.

I would love a summary of the diamond age

Yes, that post seems to be a real proof of work. Deserve the bounty.
