Yesterday I received my copy of The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking, Saifedean Ammous’s new book, and started reading it right away. Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s foreword to the book includes a comforting statement: [Bitcoin’s] mere existence… is an insurance policy against an Orwellian future. Next up in my reading queue is Taleb’s own book (Skin in the Game: Hidden Asymmetries in Daily Life). I’m hoping to publish a philosophical piece on Bitcoin (and its much-hyped ‘blockchain technology’) after I finish reading these two books.
