All of the profits from the first thousand copies of Broken Money went to the Human Rights Foundation, since Alex Gladstein's public research was so useful for the book and I like the work they are doing worldwide.

The profits from the next four thousand copies went to making an animated half-hour video about Broken Money to reach people that haven't read the book, which we released a few days ago.

My graphics/editing team wanted to make sure that the video had good average viewer time in the first week to help with the YouTube algorithm, rather than the video be sent a ton of clicks that might watch it only briefly and hurt the early quality metrics, so they advised me to soft-launch it at first. We purposely haven't notified my email list or my Twitter feed yet, etc. But it's out there.

It's a half-hour video about the technological evolution of money, with animation. We put a lot of production value into it. And for the people who were sad that I didn't narrate the Broken Money audiobook, I did narrate this video.

In the coming weeks I will spread awareness for the video across my platforms, but for starters, it has been found here on Nostr.

Enjoy:
