Funny story: I've been reading The Bitcoin Standard by Saifdean Ammous and my reader says I'm 91% done.

It has been a such a slog. I've been reading it for months, a few pages at a time. I either fall asleep or my brain needs a break.

Saifdean Ammous has written an excellent book that I would recommend to everyone who is interested in the subject of money. And honestly, if you want to be a productive member of society, you should be interested in the subject of money.

Me saying it's a slog is absolutely "it's not you, it's me." A book like this is not one that I can pick up and devour in an afternoon. I have to be in the right head space to learn and use my brain in ways that I normally don't. It doesn't come easy to me.

I'm glad I've stuck with it. The knowledge he's imparting and the way he writes is really good. This book has been a constant companion for the last few months.

I am determined to read it to the end, no matter how much longer it'll take. I will keep sticking with it. After all, I'm 91% done. just a few more pages to go...

but friends, I did say this was a "funny" story, didn't I?

I just noticed yesterday that it says "sample" on the cover. I'm 91% through JUST the sample.

I'll be lucky if I finish this book by the end of the year, stay tuned (and give me strength)
