Why does this book have so many random poems in the middle? Let prose be prose, i beg you

Ngl not vibing with this. But lets see

I didnt mind this much before, but 72 chapters in, the one dimensionality of all the characters id really starting to get to me

What freedom meant was not the freedom to be fully alive - to have the resources to eat, to learn, to be healthy - but to have free elections and a free press

Finished chapter 12. That juno reference was unexpected. Makes me feel like I am part of history. Lol

Finished chapter 10. Possibly the best chapter in the book by far. My jaw was dropped for 90% of the time reading this chapter.

Finished chapter 3

Didn’t have much prior idea of history of money (Debt: the first 5000 years has been on by to-read list a long while) but this was a nice and comprehensive tldr of the subject.

Finished chapter 2

“The real autocratic regime for these(sanctioned) countries is the US, which tries and fails to be the world police”

Finished chapter 1

Learnt about the existence of cyber-feminists, which sounds really cool.

Beyond that, chapter was mainly on how bitcoin tech works, which i was already aware of.

Just finished the Introduction and already this book feels like a breath of fresh air compared to most discourse about Blockchains.

As an engineer who works in the field but doesn’t subscribe to the right-libertarian ideology, i am quite hyped to see what the rest of the book has to offer.
