A polite little mouse!
my Libra book is up for preorder!! TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!

https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/libra/

that's got the full blurb and the Table of Contents

annoyingly i can't put the paperback up for preorder, and they really hate placeholder uploads, so that'll have to wait

i've taken down the previous draft copy, but if you wanna pre-read the current draft and offer critique then (edit nah let's make my life easy) https://davidgerard.co.uk/lj/draft-2020-10-02.odt

the kindle version got a Best Seller rank in Social Networking with 11 presales

quote:

American bitcoin entrepreneur Chad Elwartowski, COO of Ocean Builders, says that his company is scheduled to take delivery of the cruise ship on Nov. 4 in the Mediterranean. The ship will subsequently be renamed to Satoshi, after Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin.

Elwartowski has been a pioneer in seasteading. Last year, he and his Thai girlfriend got into trouble with the government of Thailand while occupying a sea home off the coast of Phuket. The Thai government accused the couple of violating the country’s sovereignty and the Thai Navy seized their home and issued arrest warrants for both of them.

i bet you can buy a cruise ship for real cheap in the same way that you can buy a castle, i.e. it's an unending money sucking pit that takes a staff of dozens just to hold off the constant deterioration

the standard boat story of standing in a cold shower ripping up hundreds but under a sewer sluice and holding down the minus button on your bank account

i look forward to the story three years from now of an abandoned cruise ship drifting in and out of panama's territorial waters getting taken over by squatters
