Topic: BOOK: 'The Bitcoin History Book 2008-2024' Progress Report (UPDATE 04/12/2023) - page 5. (Read 2226 times)

I have a pc with a large ssd and a lot of ram I fully downloaded it to look at it at my leisure.

If is better if you fully downloaded it. But I understand that many devices cant handle that much bandwidth.

You should be able to view it if your browser supports it, not to mention it uses Google Drive to host the file. If what you mean can't load many pages is there are some pages with no content, I'm sure it is because OP is still making a draft and not the final book. Even I got the same "problem", and some formatting is just a mess whether I use my laptop or mobile. I'm pretty sure OP will focus on the formatting when there is enough content or the publishing time comes closer.

There are a lot of existing e-book about Bitcoin but the majority of these are general information about Bitcoin and some about prediction and potential this is the only e-book I've found so far that explores Bitcoin's complete history from the beginning its still incomplete and on draft but once completed its worth reading and going to be a trip down memory lane.

Will we have a succeeding edition like 2022 onwards because the Crypto community is very dynamic there's always something new events coming in and will this continue to be free, this is a great contribution for the community and worth reading for those coming in.

unfortunately my browser can't load many pages, maybe because this pdf format is not supported on my browser, but later i will try to download it and read it on my pc.

but as others have said, i can say that this is the best e-book that documents various events in the world of bitcoin in a fairly complete and easy-to-read way for readers. if there is someone who wants to see various events in the world of bitcoin, recommending this e-book to them would be the best thing because all the details are written concisely and clearly. good job.

First of all, I want to congratulate you on the initiative, if it is well prepared I think it is something that has everything it needs to be successful.

Well, I didn't read everything, because being in English it would take a while.

But, from what I've seen, I think the book's layout could be improved. In some parts it seems somewhat confusing. So, I would suggest, if possible, taking a less orange approach (I really like this color), and having a "cleaner", simpler timeline that makes reading easier. This is because, currently, you don't see the difference between the points you want to highlight and the rest.

Therefore, I think I could try to improve this page layout a little, it would certainly make things even more interesting.

Thank you for your appreciation.

An absolutely wonderful work. You deserve all thanks and appreciation for the great effort you put into this wonderful book.

I quickly browsed through the book to take a look. I found the book's format to be very good, rich with information and illustrative images in a way that provides a lot of interesting information without making the reader bored as a result of the book's long pages.

It is true that the history of Bitcoin is not far away, but it is full of major events that deserve to be documented, so it is not easy at all to compile this large amount of information accumulated during all those years.

I will try to read part of it whenever I have some time. I repeat my admiration for the book, and thank you.

Great content, a bit unorganized, usually 2011 ends and 2012 starts, in the book 2011 comes back and back again.

There is a link in the OP. It is only a current draft and incomplete.

Yeah I currently donate to talkimg as it allows us to post images on bitcointalk

Thank you for your support

I will be giving you a donation this evening. It is nice work and a lot of effort.

I will be reading more of it today.

Thank you for your praise. I appreciate your comment because it will add to my motivation.

Probably one of the best e-book I've stumble and is surprisingly free the chronological is well organized, and it brings back the best memory of when Bitcoin was being developed and promoted while reading I was wondering where was I during those times I'm sure some of us here wish that they have stumbled Bitcoin on its earlier stage.
The community owes you for compiling and creating this, this is not easy I just cannot imagine the hours you've spent.

I will read this and get back to you.

So I am on page 56 and you flashed back to 2007 from say 2009 not sure it is a smooth transit to do that. I will read some more and get back.

UPDATE 04/12/2023:

For of all, thank you to all those who have commented on this thread including useful feedback.  It is motivating and helps me to assess progress.  I have nearly completed the first draft of 8 chapters covering 2008-2016 (see draft preview, some pages removed) immediately below.  The Bitcoin yearly history chapters begin on page 44 after introductory and other BTC related pages.

To be honest, I am slightly baffled about the lack of generosity from the community.  Countless time and energy has been put into it so far, and I am determined to write draft pages for 2017-end June 2024 next year.  I'm far from a greedy person (live in a small terrace house with terrible heating and an abomination of a garden) who continuously loves to learn and work hard.  Moreover, I turn down overtime at work in favour of writing this book.  If you can, please donate:

With sufficient help, I know the book will be completed by September 2024.  Thank you in advance for your support and feedback.

THE BITCOIN HISTORY BOOK 2008-2024

Please retweet, like & support: https://twitter.com/CryptoBooksAlt/status/1728851987247386961

For one year, I've been researching and writing about the full 2008-2024 Bitcoin history.  I plan to self-publish a 300 A4 page book (colour interior) on Amazon by September 2024.  It will cover all major Bitcoin milestones from inception of the blockchain to the end of June 2024.  I've spent countless hours collating and presenting relevant history by writing 16 page yearly chapters. Below is a link showing a preview of what has already been put together:

(history chapters begin on page 44)

Besides the above, a preliminary front cover for the book as been designed:

If you like (or impressed by) the progress made so far, please comment below by leaving constructive feedback.  I've been part of the Bitcoin/crypto community for over 10 years.  Distributed ledger technology has never left my radar since I discovered Bitcoin back in March 2013.  The Bitcoin History Book 2008-2024 will be my contribution to legacy, as well as newbie, members of the community.

Please contact me if you would like to support the book via donations, sponsorships or otherwise.  I will continue to strive towards completing the book by September 2024.

Thank you for reading (don't forget to click on the Google Drive link in order to read the current book interior).  It is a draft at the moment!
