News Of The WeekNews Of The Week
Welcome to the Books And Articles newsletter. Thanks for all of the quality posts.
This was an excellent week for the territory. @plebpoet’s inspirational article was also a top post for all of Stacker News. @gpvansat published another installment of the “Wandering With Purpose” series, which gives us a hands on look at bitcoin adoption in Africa. @realBitcoinDog and @carlosfandango contributed very good book reviews, and @cryotosensei has submitted his first fiction post. Short story? Novel? We don’t know yet. He also posted to his old FTDG blog. @Athena gave us two more poems in her series.
As always, please reply with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.

I’m including this as a reminder to please submit reviews and discuss any bitcoin books you think would be good for new stackers to read. Many replies to this post included books I had forgotten to include. - The Underground Man by Dostoevsky by @Nadia
Every once in a while there is a post that I just can’t believe didn’t get more engagement and recognition. That is the case with @Nadia’s review of the book I know of as Notes From Underground. Her review is insightful and detailed, and I hope it encourages others to read this Dostoevsky novel. It has been a favorite of mine for years.

Nice to see @carlosfandango posting again and @realBitcoinDog is making quite an early impact since joining. Not bad for a Rams fan. I guess 1 of the 12 had to be a good one.
Thanks @grayruby! I also did my first successful referral with @bitcoinpup2024. You inspired me! He was on NOSTR and I said, get in here cowboy!
He’s also got great content. I gotta post on his bio with my favorite stackers like you! Hope to do that soon.
You’re a great influence! XD
