Thanks very much for the kinds words.

That post is one of my favorites and I'm super interested in talking about it still. That's true for most of them, I suppose, which makes it so delightful when an older one bubbles up again. So it's not too late for you to read Broken Money! I'll engage with any new comments on my posts as fully as I would on the day the posts were made. I suppose eventually that might stop being true, but not yet. I also suspect the usual book club suspects like @k00b and @Undisciplined would do the same.

Wrt book club: part 5 was broken into a number of individual posts, in an attempt to not overwhelm me or get me fired from the time stoking / babysitting the mega-threads, so you've already seen them, they just don't have as prominent titles as the other parts do. (That was a mistake, in retrospect.)

I still have part 6 to complete, but as you inferred, I kind of ran out of steam toward the end of the year due to being split into many pieces; that combined with the fact that the last section of the book was one where I felt like the implications had been discussed extremely well in other places, mainly by Alex Gladstein in his books and other writings. Even the mainstream Libertarians do a good job on this one, which is rare on any btc-adjacent topic.

In other words, the narrative around the human rights implications of btc is already excellent and most people who know anything about it tend to know the best arguments, which is not (imo) the case for the topics dealt w/ in the other parts of the book. So Lyn had a much smaller lift in part 6, which is good for her, but that makes it less interesting to me.

Anyway, you've inspired me to shoot the cowboy hat off this thing as @Bitman might say. So look for part 6 in the coming days.
