No, I know it was heavily criticized by Lopp or Peter Todd, I don't remember exactly, so I should read it.
Loop criticized it without reading it. Lost a lot of respect then.
But I wanted to highlight an idea in that book about power the physical kind
Lowery says governments (military) are the power projectors that control the state of custody of real world things. Its the guys with the most power.
I thought about this when you said you wanted black market money.
Maybe im totally wrong but
It seems like you're trying to stay within a system that's systemically exploiting you, but you want to use money to try to survive in that system.
And in that idea monero kinda makes sense
What Lowery says though is that proof of work is a new field of war. Like land, speed, air, space, digital.
And in that analysis whoever has the most power in the digital realm is the new military.
The ones who control the state of custody of what's valuable.
Then monero is worthless because its too small and bitcoin is physically more powerful by orders of magnitude
