I haven't read the book but found it fascinating that why a Bitcoiner ( and many others ) selling a Bitcoin book yet not setting up your own shop with BTC payment?
I mean, all you need is one afternoon to test things out, not like rocket science.
A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.
Honestly I can't think of a better opportunity to showcase this than selling a Bitcoin book online, pure P2P and no third party needs to know anything ๐Ÿ‘€
โ‚ฟe the change!

It will happen eventually. Just when there are no longer other options ๐Ÿ˜‹ weโ€™re all creatures of convenience.
Surprises me weโ€™ve not seen many consolidation services either. Like you had with pricerunner etc, but specifically for bitcoin self-hosted shop products. Would be a cool initiative for btcpayserver probably if they were able to reduce the drop-off from fiat discoverability (when avoiding Amazon et al).

I'd do the opposite, do it NOW before being force to ๐Ÿ‘€

Completely with you. Especially when our choices can affect others.
Many bitcoiners will be ordering through Amazon for the sheer convenience, when theyโ€™d almost certainly pay P2P given the option (or not).

Reminds me, someone should probably pay over the odds for https://amazap.com/ Maybe @benwehrman can redirect it to ~AMA territory.

and yes, not only can you survive without Amazon and even live a way better quality of life without it.
time to go against the convenience - most of them are traps, from online shopping and takeaway to dating apps.
