If you wanted to introduce a buddy to crypto,
which token or coin would you send them as a starter?
Don't think books could spark up some interest of some individuals especially that not everyone could carry out these things and want to read long text then spend time with it.
For sure there would be more other things that can spark up their interest especially that we know Crypto has lots of opportunities to give. Although I respect your opinion since I guess this is what you think good for your friend. But for me I will give them SOL or ETH then teach them some basic things on how they can use it to multiply what they receive from me. Provably with this they might get an interest to continue especially if they know that they can earn something from what they learn from us. I don't know I introduce them to gamble but maybe later on will just guide them if they discover it and everything might follow especially if they show some eagerness to continue.
