Programmer, Bitcoiner & Cypherpunk
"Virtus Digitalis" by @npub17ddc...uley is certainly the Best book - pun intended - about bitcoin and stoicism. A lot of dots have been connected in this book: Bitcoin, stoicism, low time preference and decentralized structures really match perfectly. So, remember if the price crashes the next time, be stoic and calm as you can not control when other people panic. image
In reference to "It is easier to port a shell than a shell script" one may also conclude that it's easier to change a runtime system than to get millions of programmers to change their programming paradigm and tooling. Therefore virtual threads in Java will prevail over reactive programming using RxJava, Spring WebFlux etc.
Finished reading "Praxeology" by @Knut Svanholm ∞/21M that Knut kindly signed for me in Lugano. It's a book about the foundations of bitcoin as Austrian economics, natural law etc. but without mentioned bitcoin directly. For the latter you can only find hints as the twenty-one chapters, the orange disk on the cover picture etc. You have to do the work yourself and you will find the orange future on your own. image
"The Man Without Qualities" written by Robert Musil describes a society in which people possess expertise only in their square millimeter of knowledge. That is exactly what we see with some bitcoin core developer and their groupies. There we encounter single‑track minds that refuse to abstract beyond their narrow expertise and to view the bigger picture. Their argumentation only reflects their square millimeter of knowledge and any other input from outside that area is vehemently rejected.
