Title: New Book: 'BLOCKLAND: 21 Stories of Bitcoin, Blockchain, and Crypto-Currency' Post by: elianite on May 25, 2020, 11:32:57 PM Pre-launch & Project development thread/blog
Presenting: BLOCKLAND: 21 Stories of Bitcoin, Blockchain, and Crypto-Currency This book is an attempt to broadly tell the story: the origin, history, culture, legends, and anecdotes, of the entire cryptocurrency industry. The book’s ~400 pages, 145 sections, and 21 chapters examine different facets of the Bitcoin and blockchain phenomenon. Much of this includes the history and happenings of this very forum. The misfit innovators, the wild stories, the scams, and all the many things that are real yet read like fiction. There are over 200 characters and 500 citations. After a year of full-time writing and research, it is in the final pre-publishing stages. This is my life's work. Over five years ago in 2015, I announced pre-orders on this forum for the Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoin and Crypto-Currency, which explored the meaning behind the art and imagery of 'physical bitcoins' which originally served as gimmicks to help people understand Bitcoin. Project Status: The book itself is done. It is now on the 3rd round of copy-editing. Yesterday I added the Introduction and Table of Contents to my website www.cryptonumist.com/blockland The cover design will be released shortly I'm about halfway through the process of contacting/trying to contact 200 people who are mentioned in the book, so they can point out errors I'm 1/3rd done with properly formatting ~500 citations Ways you can help Beta-reading Anything related to marketing, promotion, affiliates Potential Podcast/interview opportunities Reviews more.. just PM me BLOCKLAND will be going on sale soon. Shipping is anticipated in late July. If you want updates, watch this thread and/or subscribe to the newsletter on my website, linked above.

Dad was a numismatist, not really my area of interest, but be really interested in Blockland, especially if those stories are relatively unknown!
I've send you a PM, btw. |
