I see both sides of this.
Firstly, I agree that we have enough books ABOUT bitcoin.
Most authors in the space simply want to reframe 'what is bitcoin' or 'why bitcoin'? for a normie audience. They think they can succeed where dozens of other books have failed.
I don't agree with the AVB post about poor editing. The topic is technical and niche - so it's not a surprise that there are few editors of the quality of Big 5 publishers. The author misunderstands how publishing works.
Most of the second-rate bitcoin books are due to self-pub and not paying for top quality editing.
I think there will be a shift towards Bitcoin adjacent topics (bitcoin+ if you will).
We need more books about how increased adoption changes other aspects of society and life. Plus we need more fiction.

making my living from editing, I luuuuv myself the sound of that (obvs agree.)
