Ben McKenzie has smoothly coincided his book tour with a perfect PR firm launch, with well-timed interviews on all the major media.

I have a bunch of PR firm and major media connections, which I haven't tapped yet, and I'll be on a semi-off-grid working vacation with family in Egypt with bad internet and few/no interviews when my book is launched.

When I'm back in the U.S. afterward I might reach out to some of my media contacts and ask if they're interested in talking or not, once it's already randomly out there.

His was traditionally published. Mine had traditional publishers asking to publish it (with receipts) but I decided to publish it with my own company so that I have full control over the material and every decision, good or bad.

Most books that spread well are concise, if they want to be well-spread. My book is long, because I know bitcoiners have a low time preference, and I kept it as short as I could while still saying what I had to say. There are a lot of great short bitcoiner books lately but mine is not one of them; it's more of a monetary treatise. It focuses on the second-order and third-order content.

It's almost like the chad-vs-virgin meme in action. There's almost no planning on my part; I'm just throwing it out there. I wrote it not because it was a good financial decision (books rarely are), but rather because I felt it was a book that I personally needed to write. Let's see how we do.

How exotic! So Ben McKenzie has smoothly coincided his book tour with a perfect PR firm launch, secur...

Taking pre-orders yet? I’ve been waiting for this since reading your article on the history of money. I’ll probably buy copies to gift as well.

Congrats! Looking forward to reading it. I’m still not convinced Bitcoin has value but your writing on it is the most convincing.

In terms of marketing a book I’d say using memes > mainstream media is a great way to peak people’s interest so kudos. Because of this solid meme I am now interested in reading🤝

”I, Sinuhe; Son of Senmut and his wife Kipa, I am writing this. Not to praise the gods of the land of Kemi, for I am tired of gods. Not to praise the pharaohs, for I am tired of their deeds. But for my own sake I am writing this. Not to flatter the gods, not to flatter kings, not out of fear or ho...

Will it be a book I could give to anyone who isn't familiar with bitcoin and the jargon that comes with markets and trading? As in will it be digestible to most people?

“in Egypt with bad internet” we can say anything we like but this is unnecessary bad PR for 🇪🇬. I know you meant no harm.
