I have an #askNostr for #bookstr recommendations. bit of a preamble necessary because the recommedee is idiosyncratic.
I was talking to a bitcoin-naive friend about the high-quality handmade goods and healthy food in the circular economy and bitcoiners' commitment to craftsmanship and low-time-preference products. I pointed to my @Leathermint belt and @SoapMiner 's results on my skin. i mentioned @Great Ghee , the (non-nostr) guys i get my beef and chicken from, and @Oshi (推し) and @Bitcoin Beans .
She's an apparel designer and a horticulturalist/farmer with an academic background in philosophy and her whole business (and life) stance is about slow, deliberate quality.
when she heard there's a population of people who value something so highly that they are unwilling to trade it **except** for truly quality goods and healthy foods, the whole thing snapped into place for her.
her request to me, and the thing i'm asking you to help with: she asked me to give her a stack of books on this topic, and i know she'll read them. i don't want to give her the standard "how bitcoin works" or economics books. i'm trying to find books or writing that will appeal to her directly and hit on the point that a lowering of time preference and deflationary money in the bitcoin economy naturally incentivizes skilled craftspeople, artists and farmers and discerning consumers.
i'm starting with https://brandonquittem.com/bitcoin-is-the-mycelium-of-money/ because it's perfectly in her biology/philosophy wheelhouse.
so, nostr and #bookstr , what books or articles would you recommend to her? best case scenario: we orange pill her and the circular economy adds another extremely talented artisan.
