I think my favourite blog is Jacob's ERE, although it's quite hardcore:

Was it you who said they were studying Economics, Philosophy and Politics? You always struck me as a pretty switched-on guy, I'm sure you can turn things around.

Yeah! MMM has written some great articles (my favourites are about bikes).
He's rather against Bitcoin and has unfortunately written some pretty braindead takes on it, and I feel like he's gotten way softer in frugality over recent years. But his older articles are gems.

Ah yes, THAT article...
I first heard of Bitcoin during the 2017 bullrun, then read MMM's article and wrote it off as a scam way up until 2020!

I read some of their articles a few years ago but didn't dig too deep into the FIRA concept.
One thing I am experimenting with for myself is something called Geoarbitrage: for example, earning a strong currency but spending weaker ones, I wrote one piece about it one year ago. But I think I need to update it with some Bitcoin fun.

Yes Jacob's book is quite cool, it mostly rehashes content you'd find on his website though.

Kind of you to say. That’s my subject. I’m assuming we are in a similar geographic location in the world so you may appreciate there are opportunities out there, but you really have to work for them.

Indeed, it's rough out there. Especially if you're outside the southeast.
