Yes, and math-heavy.
The titles of the last 3 chapters - Centralization, Capture and Collapse - sound rather ominous.

Okay, thanks, I'm passing. 😅
Incredible how he has been able to a) learn and understand all of the above, and b) has been able to write a book about it.
Seriously impressive.

It's really a shame that the book hasn't gotten more attention, because it does seem like he has given it a lot of thought. It's understandable though - it's too much for most. But I guess it has too be that way and can't be made more concise.

Well, it's a highly specific and complex part of Bitcoin, what can you expect?

It is, but it's also crucial. If this specific and complex part has a fault, none of the other parts matter in the grand scheme of things.

What was the reason that he went and sold his stack?

He mentioned it in a video that he used to own bitcoin, but eventually sold it. My memory is faint, it was my impression that he had stopped believing in it, but on second thought I'm not entirely sure.
