You've reminded me of a game I used to play while travelling, when I'd have time to visit bookstores of an airport or train station; I'd find the most specific shelf of English-language non-fiction, and search the indices of the books for mention of Bitcoin (and related terms). One notable offender was a book that I did end up buying, named Signals[1], which to my mind was screaming "buy Bitcoin!" cover-to-cover, except had zero mentions of Bitcoin nor any other cryptocurrency in the entire text. I'm guessing the author of that one (a conventional economist) had probably been working on her book for several years and although she might have encountered Bitcoin in its early years, probably considered it something too new for inclusion in her attempt to build a reputation as an author of general economic advice.
horribly general name, and I'm currently failing to narrow down the noise to an ISBN or author name... stay tuned ↩
