My Journey Down the Bitcoin Rabbit Hole

This is a somewhat unusual book. But hey, Bitcoin is a somewhat unusual technology, so an unusual book about Bitcoin is probably fitting. This book came about due to a simple question: "What have you learned from Bitcoin?" I believe that Bitcoin is the most important invention of our time, and more people need to understand the nature of this invention. Bitcoin is still one of the most misunderstood phenomena in our modern world, and it took me years to fully grasp the significance of this alien technology. Realizing what Bitcoin is and how it will change our society is a profound experience. I hope to outline the foundational ideas that could lead to this realization in this book. In short, this is simply a book about Bitcoin, written by a Bitcoiner. Bitcoin doesn't need this book, and you probably don't need this book to understand Bitcoin. I believe that Bitcoin will be understood when one is ready to understand it. And I also believe that the first fractions of a Bitcoin will find their way to you when you are ready to receive them. Essentially, for everyone, individually, at the right time, the orange penny will drop. In the meantime, Bitcoin simply exists, and that is enough.
