Topic: "Bitcoin as a new part of the human way of life" (Read 224 times)

I don't know what your biggest plans are about publishing a book about bitcoin based on different user experiences.
It might be a good idea to expand on, and creating one bitcoin book would be great for you, but how can you rely on us when the concepts needed to author a book are so many?

About the title, you might need to simplify it even better instead of jumping to the conclusion that bitcoin is a new way of life for humans. I'm not an expert in this field, but bitcoin has different legalities from one country to another so not all bitcoin users can spend it as legal currency.

Up

Bitcoin has been the subject of many books over the years, so I think that nothing is taboo to us when it comes to the subject. Some governments are still banning their people from using bitcoin, but that doesn't mean people can't read books about bitcoin, along with the growth of the internet, banning reading books or information is impossible.

I hope OP takes the time to research the forum posts, it will be helpful for his book. We have read a lot of shares of many successful investors with bitcoin on this forum.

I know bitcoin in 2014 from my high school friend he actually love gambling  but the money for he do gambling is actually from faucet you know there are dozen of it back a couple years ago.

and then Im interested and start do faucet job It really takes time since one faucet simply gives you only 200-1000 satoshi right. My friend and some of my brother doesn't believe in bitcoin at that time and ignored me that bitcoin might be an online scam.

long story short Im started to know HYIP(high yield investment program) is obviously is ponzi scheme  I lose dozen of it and my blockchain.info account got hacked by phishing faucet hard money that I earn from a couple of months vanished It really hurt me because it took my entire time hahaha. ps. I'm from Indonesia so a single US dollar is worth 

and then I'm starting do freelancing job on this forum as a translator and bitcoin signature like this one and bounty stuff I earned more than 5 Bitcoin at that time and sold all of it (which is stupid if I know today's price is hahaha)
I'm decide to stay away from the crypto space and do some real work for almost 3 years because I don't know how to recover a hacked account.

After that Indonesian sub-forum member told me there is actually a way to recover the hacked account and then I recover it on Jan 2020. March covid hit my country and huge layoff happen in every place and my place I used to work bankrupt but lucky me I have my hero account back and now I'm do full Crypto job (i have been looking real job but with lack experience getting job is hard) and here I am now I don't know this will be a good story but all of this is my legit experience.

Good luck with your plan and for the making of this book. I have a suggestion, leave your contact so that those want to be part of your book and willing to publish their story publicly or anonymously will just have to contact you.
It's a motivation to those that have a grudge against bitcoin and still don't believe with it, and when it's become published on a book then those skeptic people will probably have some glance of change with their minds that bitcoin is really a big thing and not just that, it has changed a lot of lives globally.

This forum itself would really be a huge help if you are really that tending to write a book yet real time experiences and knowledge could really be able to witness and be seen out of this forum but i do agree on what
you had said that experience itself would be the best teacher in life which you are the ones would be able to point out on whats good and whats bad. Bitcoins is something revolutionary and it is really that helpful
when we do talk about utility which there's no doubt that it do serve out its purpose and the other things on what it makes to be more popular is the earning opportunity that it could give into someone.
You would be able to publish a book out of these experiences.

Asking successful people in bitcoin investment will be a major clue to what you will be writing about,I love your motivation and how you intend to tell people about bitcoin through writing a book. I hope you will be able to gather more information here in the forum to assist you to achieve your goal. Can you  give a little information on what you tend to put in the book content ? Though,experience is the best teacher in life and bitcoin is gaining its ground gradually. Have the best time to make your research and publish your book,it is a good title and will attract people to it.

This is a good thing but of course there will be many challenges about this, especially with the conditions where bitcoin is still a taboo for most of us. Even so I think you are doing a good thing and of course if you look at the title you want to make then this could be a new thing for people at least those closest to you to know about bitcoin specifically. Hopefully your work is quickly completed and there are no disturbances whatsoever.

In this case like I said earlier, if it would be possible for xanto to make a brief introductory to digital finance on how it started would be nice as it would arouse the interest of readers giving them the phases and stages digital finance past through before the invention of bitcoin. Then he can be able to state some experience he personal had together with his interview with prominent bitcoin early adopters possibly, he would be able to get the attention of his proposed targets.

What kind of contents do you have in mind for your book title? Indeed bitcoin is a new part of human life, but writing a book under the umbrella of other people's stories won't have any concrete background for your text. They should be a message you are passing to your readers then link it to the stories you'll get from people. They're only two kinds of stories in this market, just like the main aspect of the ecosystem bull and bear, success and failure. Stories will always be about " I knew about bitcoin and didn't invest ", " I wish I invested in bitcoin long ago " though, some people had a profitable experience of bitcoin. My story is about not hodling bitcoin when I had them at a cheap rate, when the price got to 50k I had a regret of not holding my coins a bit longer.

based on title maybe try to go to el salavadore and interview someone there. since btc is really impacting they live, it's the national currency there

A very interesting topic you have got here. This topic needs someone that is grounded in bitcoin to handle and I can see you have been here for long even more than myself. So, I will give you that benefit of doubt.

Secondly, your topic will be more futuristic than now because bitcoin has not fully developed to be part of human way of life. It can be to some people but to majority it is not but in the near future it will totally be a part of human life.

You are looking for a very select group of individuals to contribute to your book. And I really don't know if early developers would be interested in reporting their story to you, because it's seem likely they would prefer to write a book themselves.

What do you mean by major bitcoin holders? What is the minimum number of btcs someone must hold to be considered a major holder for your research?

Reading stories about other successful people is the easiest means of learning good lessons. I might not know how you want to organize the book, but I think your idea is a good one if it is properly built on and actualized. I have read about some bitcoin maestros in this forum, therefore using the search option is one of the best means of getting some of these inspirational stories.

I don't know if it would be possible to identify the biggest bitcoin holders because most of them are anonymous, except for corporate bodies that publish their financial statements. You might not also find their worth in Forbes or other magazines. Stories about those that started bitcoin from the beginning could be accessed in this forum and other search engines. I wish you all the best sir.

You can start by researching first and explaining how you can join bitcoin. After that, you can start looking for literature from the internet or people around you and invite them for an interview about bitcoin and how their interest ultimately made them join bitcoin.

It's fine that people today still see cryptocurrency as a tool for evil but one day, they will see the potential benefits of bitcoin. Let time tell and with the advent of the internet, they will find that bitcoin is not a tool for committing crimes.

I support you very much, maybe your book can lead a Bitcoin era into a climax of thinking, and more people understand and study Bitcoin, I think this is a very blessed thing.

Just one story:

I wanna share a story of mine after meeting up with someone who wants to buy BTC back in 2017, after the transaction I tried roaming around the mall and saw a music instrument store. Looking from the outside reflecting on the glass the images behind are two guys who I think I have seen 10 minutes before the transaction happened. Pretending to not notice them I just walk outside past some baker's store and I still glance a bit at them watching me. The next thing I do is run and they also run following me.

Can this kind of story be interesting in your book?

Good luck with your book, I highly interested with investment book or cryptocurrency because in reality the book like this only a few that exist. Book about love there is dozen of it 

Oh just note if you are need a data for your book please visit this site might help. https://cryptoquant.com/ https://glassnode.com/

Good Luck

I just hope you are verifying every piece of information that you gathered from the community. It is easy to tell a story. CSW is one fair example of a storyteller, a good one probably because he has convinced a considerable amount of individuals. But we all know he's a liar.

So, asking for indubitable proofs like a signature from an address when, for example, you are "collecting statistics on the largest (B)itcoin hodlers" is probably a good idea.

Your title sound interesting but how are you planning to write a "book" out of it?
Just printing stories of Bitcointalk members sending you their texts, will it be an interview or how are you planning to proceed?

Maybe Alex Gladstein's book "Check your financial privilege" is what you look for.
It's a great list of unique stories from people discussing how Bitcoin is beneficial for them. After all, these stories are not from 1st world countries as Bitcoin is much more useful for peple in dysfunctional countries like Sudan, Senegal, Kuba or Venezuela.
Since Gladstein is a human rights activist, he's always looking for improvements.
