The Bushido of Bitcoin by Aleksandar Svetski. Not your typical bitcoin book. Here is a summary created by Grok:

"The Bushido of Bitcoin" by Aleksandar Svetski is not a technical guide to Bitcoin or a history of money, but rather a philosophical exploration of what happens when Bitcoin succeeds and its adopters become a new societal elite. Drawing inspiration from the samurai code of Bushido, the book proposes a new moral and virtuous framework for this emerging class. Svetski argues that simply achieving Bitcoin's dominance isn’t enough—those who rise to power must embody virtues like honor, discipline, and excellence to avoid replicating the corruption of past elites. The book outlines ten key virtues, tracing their historical and etymological roots, and connects them to a future shaped by a Bitcoin standard. It blends historical analysis with a vision for a civilization rebuilt on integrity and strength, offering a hopeful, action-oriented guide for individuals and society in a decentralized economic era.

When I quit after smoking for 20+ years I kept and unopened pack of cigarettes in my car’s glove box. There was something about knowing they were accessible that kept me calm enough not to smoke them. I quit a 1 to 2 pack a day habit cold turkey. It was the hardest thing I’ve done. They were in the car for over two years after I quit.

Keep up the amazing work!

I do now. 😀

You are not alone. Praying for you.

May the peace of God carry your through this valley. ♥️

Stack Sats of course

Using old miner such as an underclocked S9 in place of a cheap electric space heater is ok if you’re just curious about mining. If you’re going to use an electric heater at least you’re earning a minuscule amount of sats when connected to a mining pool or you can take the chance and play the solo mining to find a block by yourself.
