A bitcoin book entirely about bitcoin, a one-stop shop for understanding and evaluating it. Accessible, fun, and fair, equally well-suited for the classroom, the halls of Congress, and financial advisors. https://t.co/0jCyRwl5bj

One of the dumbest fallacies is people thinking their coin is gonna win if only Bitcoin dies, like zec people fudding Bitcoin over quantum. It’s precisely the opposite. If Bitcoin dies, no one will ever trust internet money ever again. ALL coins ride on bitcoins coattails

Of course, AI has legitimate risks, including loss of privacy and enhanced opportunities for authoritarian control. But that's why it's even more important for the U.S., rather than China, to lead. The U.S. isn't perfect. But there's a reason our capital markets are the apple
