Gladstein's book is also excellent. I've long said that bitcoin has reached the core audience that is open to it. Liberty minded, tech literate people. The people Gladsein can reach is another audience most of us offend with all our talk of anarchism, individual responsibility, and nerdy tools. We are a tiny minority.
But bitcoin has real utility for most people in the world. They just don't see it yet. In the US most people don't need bitcoin. Not as much as the rest of the world I mean. Yeah, everyone needs it but we are lulled to sleep by cheap credit and entertainment. For some... politics and the left/right distraction. I think those with real day to day needs will adopt bitcoin and the vast majority of the west will be laggards.
I agree. I have read Hidden Repression and Check Your Financial Privilege. His work, along with all the circular economies popping up in the global south are fostering real adoption.
