This is a noble effort I just went through your work and this involved a lot of time and effort to compile and this is not easy, considering that you're giving it for free.
I'm sure many will appreciate your work, so its better to include your Bitcoin address for donation if one wants to reward your effort.
Creating a readable or hard version is a good idea; we may not know if this has the makings of a classic, Materials about Bitcoin for beginners are one of the most sought because we are in the adoption period.


Thanks so much for the kind words! Messages like yours really make all the effort worthwhile.

I actually had thought about adding a BTC address for donations. I'll be sure to include one. Hopefully, it can help support even more projects like this in the future.

Appreciate the feedback, and thanks again for taking the time to go through the work!

I'm also working on a landing page to host the book file for anyone who wants to download it and the links for anyone who wants to buy the reader version or the physical version!

Guys,
I've finally finished writing the book!

I'm now in the review and editing phase. So feedback and criticism are welcome before publishing.
Please note that I have waived copyright, so the book will be free and in the public domain. So that it can reach as many people as possible!
In the first chapters I tell you a little about my motivations and what to expect from the book!

?  You think the blockchain is immoral or unjust?   It's just a tool - people are immoral/unjust.     Undecided


I believe there might have been a misunderstanding. At no time did I make a judgment about the morality or justice of blockchain technology itself. My comments were solely focused on a specific aspect that diminished my interest in exploring the monetary philosophy underpinning Bitcoin and its potential as an alternative currency/asset.

In 2017 I did something I'm not very proud of: I fell in love with blockchain as a technology!

Over the past 18 months, I have dedicated myself to gaining a deeper understanding of how Bitcoin works from a technical standpoint. My journey involved reading several books, numerous articles, and posts, watching many videos, and writing summaries of each concept to solidify my understanding. As a result, I have compiled over 70 pages of content to date. This process sparked the idea of consolidating all these writings into a book (available for free download) in hopes of helping others understand Bitcoin as I have.

The book is intended for beginners. I've structured it around questions and answers, explaining various technical aspects of Bitcoin. I also included analogies to make the more abstract concepts within Bitcoin relatable to everyday examples.

This book will not focus on Bitcoin's monetary thesis. There are excellent resources for that topic, such as "The Bitcoin Standard". Nor is it meant to be a deep technical dive, for which "Mastering Bitcoin" and "Grokking Bitcoin" are highly recommended (and have been references for me).

I'm currently sharing an excerpt with a few knowledgeable individuals in the Bitcoin space to gather feedback, corrections, and suggestions for improvement!

And, of course, I want to share it with you all on Bitcointalk, who have been so helpful over the last few months. I would be honored if anyone here is willing to read it and point out any mistakes.  Grin

Since most members here prefer to remain anonymous, I've published version 01 and recorded it on the blockchain using Mirror (I have a Google doc, but it requires an email to share!).

Note: Bibliographic references are still missing

Feel free to suggest best practices for this post! My plan is to update it as I make corrections and/or add content. If this post violates any forum rules, please let me know, and I will edit or delete it as necessary.

I hope the book will have many pages of acknowledgments! While I plan to release it for free and cannot offer payment for assistance, rest assured that, with your permission, your names (or in this case, profiles) will be mentioned in the book.

After all, the goal is to make it CC0 so that anyone can download, read, and learn a bit about Bitcoin!

It has been a challenging, demanding, but ultimately rewarding journey. I hope to continue learning and giving back to the community and those outside it with some insightful content.
