The Bitcoin Standard you say? Thank you for the recommendation!
what is it about? I've never heard of it.
I've never heard of it.
Did you lived under a rock until today?

sorry I left my sarcasm tag off, thought it was obvious enough. ;P
This post had me laughing. a brief GPT description of 5 bitcoin books, including The Bitcoin Standard, and buddy's shameless self promo as book #6 on the list.
Also, while we're talking about it... Even as someone who is borderline obsessive with bitcoin, I did not like TBS, and I wouldn't recommend it be someone's introductory book to bitcoin as most bitcoiners do. It spends the majority of the book glorifying the gold standard, then eventually wraps up with "and by the way, bitcoin is better than gold"
"The Seventh Property" by Eric Yakes would be my go-to bitcoin book recommendation

"never heard of it" is different than "didn't read it".
You can't be in Bitcoin world without even hear at least once about that book. That means you literally live under a rock.

I have read that book, as I stated. It's okay at best, I wouldn't recommend it.
I thought my original comment was sarcastic enough that I did not need to include a sarcasm tag. I will be more clear in the future.

History of money and why fiat sucks, I would say.
Only the last few chapters are actually about bitcoin iirc but that's also why the book is so good because it shows that bitcoin is just the next "obvious" evolution of money.

It's a bit of an underground book - really hard to find. Would recommend 👍🏼
