Excited to announce that @JSeyff and I have a new book coming out this fall called "Both Sides of the Coin" which is available for pre-order now. We thought it was time for a fresh look at bitcoin/crypto post-ETF and sought to write a fair and balanced book for everyday TradFi investors as well as crypto natives that tracks the risks, rewards, evolution and financialization of the asset class as well as the growing debasement/debt problem. We took great pains to cover as much as ground as poss in this 370-page book, no stone was left unturned. Here's a look at the chapters:
1. Bitcoin in a Nutshell (much more of an engineering feat than most ppl think)
2. The Currency Debasement Problem (inflation, debt etc is crucial for anyone hoping to understand the ‘purpose’ of btc as well as the rise of socialist politicians)
3. Store of Value Smackdown (btc vs gold)
4. Bitcoin in a Portfolio (hot sauce, for now)
5. The Filing Heard 'Round the World (the untold inside story of how Blk/Larry Fink evolved enough to file for ETF)
6. The ETF Solution (ETFs have solved for good bitcoin’s ‘intermediary problem’ eg FTX, Coldcard etc)
7. Suitcoiners (wall street/govt adoption, which OGs should embrace not dump on)
8. Alt Coins (top 12-ish cryptos explained in detail as well as how to evaluate them)
9. A Tokenized Future (the blockchain-ization of wall st and beyond)

So. This is the third time this has happened with @lyft. But they do this thing where when you order a car at some price but they basically just never assign you a car. My screen looked like this for ~12 minutes (at least). Then all the sudden it reset as though I never ordered a car. Then sure enough when I go to order a new one— the price of the “new” ride is $10 more. This has happened to me a couple of times now in the last few months. But what an absolute joke. Just so frustrating.

I'm still sitting in the same seat and wearing the same clothes and the same headset because this was only a couple hours ago. Nate is so damn fast at putting these things out.

Thanks for having us on Nate and thank you for the kind words about the book.

My conversation w/ @EricBalchunas & @JSeyff on their new book, Both Sides of the Coin…

It’s all here.

They go behind the scenes on BlackRock’s spot bitcoin ETF filing, discuss what they learned about bitcoin & crypto while writing the book, and talk about what they’re watching moving forward.
