Was an ETH bagholder for a few years back. I was so interested in how the technology works on paper. And for the things Eth Foundation said that works, it worked. So as it happens, I was reading the Bitcoin Standard trying to figure out why I should balance my bags with more "slowly-developing" bitcoin. At that time Vitalik's book came in the mail (I forgot I pre-ordered it), so I read it right after.
And man the lucidity Saifedean has compared to the mumbo jumbo Vitalik's wrote. It suddenly all clicked. Vitalik's product is all smokes and mirrors.
If you read Arabic, I have commented on Vitalik's book back when I had this project on Twitter (@shu3latmaktaba). Check it out.
