And I do really recommend Attack of the 50 Foot Blockchain as a book if you actually want to like understand all this stuff more and what a giant scam it is.
Why people recommend it
Attack of the 50 Foot Blockchain is a critical book about the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry. On Behind the Bastards, Robert Evans recommended the book on December 9, 2021, describing it as an accessible way to understand cryptocurrency and realize that it functions as a giant scam. He suggested it to listeners who wanted to learn enough about Bitcoin to effectively argue with its supporters and explain why their beliefs are flawed. Sofiya Alexandra agreed that she wanted to read it so she could use its points in bar arguments. Evans also cited the volume earlier in the series on December 7, 2021, noting that David Gerard's writing prompted his interest in researching the topic. He used Gerard's work to quote early cryptocurrency advocate Roger Ver regarding the ideological motivations behind separating money from the state, and he concluded the later episode by reading the book's opening frequently asked questions section.
