The profits (which are about $5/book) from the first 1,000 copies of Broken Money are going to the HRF Bitcoin Development Fund.

I think I will put the profits from copies 2,000-5,000 into making a slick animated YouTube video about the history of money and banking and the emergence of Bitcoin (basically the 30-minute summary of Broken Money). Kind of like Dalio’s “How the Economic Machine Works” video.

A popular 500 page finance book can reach tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people. But an equivalent video, while not as deep, has the potential to reach millions as a different part of the knowledge funnel.

Because, I dunno. Fuck profits I guess. The rest of my business covers profits; the book is for a different purpose.

You’re a champion, Lyn

When you find a money so good that you are compelled to not be motivated by money but rather teach people why a certain money is evil and the other is not>>>>>>>>

Awesome Lyn. FYI sold out on Amazon in Australia

I love how you're thinking on & approaching this. I suspect that getting more people to understand how broken the money is, has a greater long return for you than the book sales anyway. One of the aspects I love about Bitcoin is how it aligns our actions. Maybe I should buy your book & have a crac...

I know I'm supposed to slay my heroes, but you're a great role model Lyn. I keep re-reading your article, 12 In-Depth Tactics to Seriously Boost Your Energy, and thinking through how to apply it to my next endeavor. Perhaps learning AI assisted coding. For now, working through Broken Money!

Dalio made a video summary of The Changing World Order and said in a post ppl don’t even need to buy the book - granted he’s in a different position https://youtu.be/xguam0TKMw8?si=wjM__haDfKzVMnLe

As long as somehow you mention that the money is a representation of the time, brainpower and hard work people put in to earn it. Money in a vacuum is nothing. It's directly linked to free thought and commerce. That said, Broken Money makes me think of the stress those who've earned it are going th...

Will the book be released in Malaysia?

Beyond the numbers, it’s the demographics: not many teens will read the book, yet they need to hear its message urgently.

It’s fine Lyn, you can just use the profits from copies 1.000.000-1.100.000 for the Lambo.

I said “fuck profits” years ago. Better to just get the proper information into the proper hands and work with the best people. Best decision I’ve ever made.

Thank you Lyn! Very generous!

You’ll likely earn more over time through this move. Bravo!

Donating one's time (money) is a valuable act of generosity. Giving our time to others is as important as giving material possessions. It creates meaningful connections, fosters empathy, and contributes to the well-being of both the giver and the receiver.

Hey Lyn, this sounds super interesting. I’m a content creator/animator with Swan. Would love to talk through this with you.

Great book. The control of the ledger angle is a unique and fascinating perspective. Heard you say on ‘What Bitcoin Did’ that you have been to Bretton Woods. I live in NH and have stayed at the Mt. Washington Hotel a few times. It is beautiful there and for those who don’t know, the meeting ro...
