Hey Stackers! I'm the creator of a 'badass' immersive novel about 3 teens who discover Bitcoin as a coming-of-age adventure!!
I worked on this tirelessly for 10 months and put EVERYTHING into it:
---> PGP, Encryption, 'what is money', computing science, global finance, inflation - but in a super easy and FUN way. This is first and foremost a FUN adventure story - primarily for teens and kids to go from '0' understanding to an a '1' exposure of these revolutionary ideas!!!
It's BADASS!
The main characters: the gamer Alexis from Oregon, her ex-best friend Sophia originally from South Africa, the stoic skateboarding Liam (a Navy brat from UK and Japan) and the mysterious recently deceased Mr. Itsuki. Who apparently worked for a Japanese Camera company in the 80's.
If you're wanting to support grassroots Bitcoin education - every single Sat will go into furthering this project. The ULTIMATE goal is to get a feature-length movie or series made in the area of Hunger Games, Stranger Things, Cobra Kai, etc (Coming-of-Age Adventure).
I'll have a booth at the Vancouver 'Block Party', the Victoria 'Learning Bitcoin Conference' and then the Canadian and US big BTC Conferences. My fiat job is teaching high school tech and economics in a flawed educational system, and I couldn't be more excited or proud of Coded Shadows!
I'm working as hard as I can to 'cross-over' into the literary world by finding an agent and Publishing deal.
Thanks for reading! See everything here ---> www.codedshadows.com
(oh, and I'm currently in the midst of setting up BTC Pay to accept Sats for it via online tied into the payment and mailing rail... But until then if you Zap me the sats and send an email with the deets and where to send - that is easy too.

A very good concept! Went to buy on Amazon store, It's too costly including the shipping charges. I've bookmarked your site to buy in future.
reply
Thanks! Yeah, Amazon takes a hefty cut so there's basically not a lot of profit at all. Buying IRL is much most cost effective! If you get Free Shipping from Amazon as a trial it will help! Cheers

why don't you setup a site sell the e-book and accept in sats, it takes less than one afternoon.

Cool! Tell us when the online course is available.
reply
Thanks! There's no online course with Coded Shadows. It's entertainment focused on making Bitcoin and Finance 'COOL' - sort of like framing the orange pill in a cool manner. Planting roots... luring curious people in to the world of Bitcoin and finance and the history of $...
Book's #2 and #3 (it's a trilogy!) follow the protagonists down the rabbit hole further and you get to learn alongside them! (I can't wait to write them!!!!!!)
reply
The main goal is getting kids and people from 0 to 1 so to speak. Sometimes the logical approach doesn't work.
So this is another way 'in' to the rabbit hole. Esp. for kids. Just make it fun and cool first!

Awesome stuff to hear and see
