It's a fun book and it accurately describes some of the flaws with fiat money, at least as it is used now.

But the part where it tries to explain why Bitcoin is the answer is laughable.

Almost as laughable as the part where he blames every societal ill from the degeneration of art and onwards on fiat currencies.

No attempt at rational argument is made by you.

Argument irrelevant.

I'm not going to ban you right now because you've posted some good comments too, but if you keep posting comments like these ones we're going to have to. Please correct.
