News Of The WeekNews Of The Week
Welcome to this week’s issue of the Books And Articles newsletter. Thanks for all of the quality posts.
Two of the top five posts this week are about recently published bitcoin books. If anyone is reading “The Resistance Money”, please post a review here. Along those lines, @speakingyourtruth asked this week in a post whether there would be interest in book reviews. The answer is certainly yes, and that applies to all genres.
As always, please reply to this post with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.
I hope everyone has a good week.

I often find gems in @Rsync25 links. Here’s an example. I have never heard of this book, but it’s on my “must read” list now. Here’s the shortest Amazon quote I could find:
“Huang has given us an important book that weaves together two important subjects: Bitcoin and China. Both are shaping the course of the 21st century, and Roger uses his intelligence, knowledge, and talent for storytelling to show us why these two forces are on a collision course and why it matters to the future of money and geopolitics.”
— Jason Steinhauer, Author, History, Disrupted, adjunct professor at the Maxwell School for Citizenship & Public Affairs at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington, D.C.
Alex Gladstein wrote the forward. That’s good enough for me.
“The Bushido of Bitcoin” isn’t released yet, but Svetski is releasing portions of it and making the rounds of podcasts. This WIM episode is classic Breedlove. They both get deep into the weeds of bitcoin from a philosophical, spiritual, and religious perspective. I definitely want to check out this book when it is released in the fall.
This week’s Golden Oldie:
I know this post isn’t that old, but this video is gold. If you haven’t seen it, here’s your opportunity. If you have, it’s worth watching again. For those who haven’t read “Broken Money” yet, this will inspire you.

Interesting the post from @cryotosensei . How different cultural backgrounds can cause misunderstandings. Really important these days when it’s so common we are all mixed.
It was interesting. There's a subtle line in face to face conversation between "I'm engaged and focused on what you're saying" and "let me tell you what I think".
It’s important to know differences. I worked two years in Australia and noticed most of asians handed things with two hands or with one but resting the other in the forearm. I read about it and noticed it was a sign of good manners.
The review of 'The Genesis Book' by you have stirred a sense of urgency in me for reading it. I'm otherwise lazy or late reader. Thank you so much. This territory is also so amazing.
The Mao book looks interesting. Are you going to read it?
Certainly a different perspective than most Bitcoin books.
I think I will. First on deck for me is The Resistance Money.
C Ongrats everyone! As always all posts here are worth of reading!!
Thanks @siggy47 for a great review. It's a great find for me. I've already ordered a copy and will try to write my notes for the book...
Anyone read the Tower of Basel? Someone I know that is black pilled is reading it and said it is a very good read for those interested in finance...
He is the one that will not get on Bitcoin...
