A request to the Muslim authors here (e.g., @alp @npub1ysex...mk06): Please see if there is a way to make your work available in digital formats. Paper-only format is not a viable option for someone in e.g., Pakistan, where shipping would cost more than the book itself.

A bank in India has sent me a bank statement email (meant to be sent to their customer). Ignore that they sent potentially sensitive information to a stranger. The statement pdf is password protected. And the email says the password is first 4 letters of his name and last 4 digits of the account number. Both the name and account number are given in the email. Q. So what did the password achieve? A. Bank grade security!

Going all in on cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, and others) is a good ideal. The path to it is not as straight forward. The traditional systems are designed to lock you in. For example, amy large purchase (house, car, etc) is likely goinh through a conversion to fiat because most sellers don't accept cryptocurrency. Your child's college would probably require fiat for fee payment. Given, how volatile the fiat vs cryptocurrency market is, it will keep aa significant population away from converting their life savings.
