Bitcoin Forum

Hello everyone,my friends :)
The fact that i'm going to write a book on "Bitcoin as a new part of the human way of life"
It was my and my two friends idea
I have connections and we have reached a verbal agreement with the editor of Taylor & Francis
They publish literature on science and new technologies
And i'm collecting statistics on the largest bitcoin hodlers
Your story may be published in a print edition later this year
All that remains is to collect the unique stories of the people who have been behind the development of cryptocurrencies almost from the beginning
If you have friends who are major bitcoin hodlers (bitcoin only),i will listen to their stories as well
If you prefer,you can remain anonymous or give your name,it's up to you
Any interest in contributing to the promotion of cryptocurrencies as an expert and building a positive attitude towards it among ordinary unenlightened people,because everyone sees cryptocurrencies only as evil?
I decided it was better to ask everyone than to offer each person individually
My book depends on you and i need your help
Thank you

-Sincerely,xanto

If you want to write a book about bitcoin, it is a very good topic and not many books are out there about bitcoin. Keep doing your research, and find information from this forum. The easiest way of collecting your data is to search for threads and there is a dedicated search bar to use for searching on this forum.
Also google search will help you to find many stories about bitcoin. Collect all of them, find real people to interview and publish them on your book.

This is interesting. I see this as a Renaissance. Bringing to the world the consciousness and existence of bitcoin through human experience and attributes. This book which yo would want to write would be of big interest by forum members and I hope you know it would take a good research to put up things in other. I will suggest you take an introductory of generation of financial technology/revolution in a brief description and how it gave birth to mordern day financial technology. This will make your work super interesting to see and do well to conduct an interview with prominent bankers and financial technologist I believe you will get more insight of the evolution of bitcoin and blockchain.

This research will give you good edge in bitcoin technology. If I may ask what methodology are you using to get your data.
Let the discussion begin here. You have done well to raise this thread.

wondering also if you will publish your profile also at the front or back of your book? because some people will check if the author has sufficient knowledge about the topic he is writing. yes, you can collect stories and all about btc, but a good foundation or background when it comes to crypto i believe is a must to write a comprehensive and informative book about bitcoin. though i don't know the OP but just saying that people will somehow check the background of the author. is he credible enough to write on this matter?

Nice trail old guy.. you got registered nearly 10 years ago?lol.. And you've got exactly 10 merits? Sheesss!!
I love your ideas cus you're a troubadour; as a matter of fact, I don't really know how far you've gone with your promotional strength, but I know that you're gonna make something good -- that's if you're serious about it -- for that reason, I'll advise you to use the forum search engines to check out for topics that several experiences have been analysed;, get 'em data at their simplest form and create something profound outta its adopted meaning -- that'll still be connected to it's original meaning. I'm afraid only a few will start saying alot now: that's why we actually make 'em posts whatsoever... 10 years in future if the forum stays alive, anyone would still read this post.

This is a fantastic idea that will help to change the minds of many bitcoin critics who do not want to see the development of bitcoin at all. Since you've accepted the task, complete it with diligence and discrepancy. I don't read many books, not because they don't interest me, but I'd like to see one written by you and go through it calmly. I wish you the best of luck with this assignment.

You and your friends want to make a book about bitcoin, that's a brilliant idea, I think it will be a good breakthrough, because there are very few books that tell about bitcoin.

indeed now very many people are investing in bitcoin and bitcoin investment now can be called, as part of life.

I hope your plan will be successful.

Good luck with the writing and publication of your book.
By they way, I assume you have already took a look to books about Bitcoin which are already available for sale online? I believe it could help you to study and find new ways for your book to be unique from those seen before.

You could also have included some way to contact you in case someone around here wants to share their experience with Bitcoin, are we supposed to send you a private message?

Your title sound interesting but how are you planning to write a "book" out of it?
Just printing stories of Bitcointalk members sending you their texts, will it be an interview or how are you planning to proceed?

Maybe Alex Gladstein's book "Check your financial privilege" is what you look for.
It's a great list of unique stories from people discussing how Bitcoin is beneficial for them. After all, these stories are not from 1st world countries as Bitcoin is much more useful for peple in dysfunctional countries like Sudan, Senegal, Kuba or Venezuela.
Since Gladstein is a human rights activist, he's always looking for improvements.

I just hope you are verifying every piece of information that you gathered from the community. It is easy to tell a story. CSW is one fair example of a storyteller, a good one probably because he has convinced a considerable amount of individuals. But we all know he's a liar.

So, asking for indubitable proofs like a signature from an address when, for example, you are "collecting statistics on the largest (B)itcoin hodlers" is probably a good idea.

Good luck with your book, I highly interested with investment book or cryptocurrency because in reality the book like this only a few that exist. Book about love there is dozen of it  ;D

Oh just note if you are need a data for your book please visit this site might help. https://cryptoquant.com/ https://glassnode.com/

Good Luck

Just one story:

I wanna share a story of mine after meeting up with someone who wants to buy BTC back in 2017, after the transaction I tried roaming around the mall and saw a music instrument store. Looking from the outside reflecting on the glass the images behind are two guys who I think I have seen 10 minutes before the transaction happened. Pretending to not notice them I just walk outside past some baker's store and I still glance a bit at them watching me. The next thing I do is run and they also run following me.

Can this kind of story be interesting in your book?

I support you very much, maybe your book can lead a Bitcoin era into a climax of thinking, and more people understand and study Bitcoin, I think this is a very blessed thing.

You can start by researching first and explaining how you can join bitcoin. After that, you can start looking for literature from the internet or people around you and invite them for an interview about bitcoin and how their interest ultimately made them join bitcoin.

It's fine that people today still see cryptocurrency as a tool for evil but one day, they will see the potential benefits of bitcoin. Let time tell and with the advent of the internet, they will find that bitcoin is not a tool for committing crimes.

Reading stories about other successful people is the easiest means of learning good lessons. I might not know how you want to organize the book, but I think your idea is a good one if it is properly built on and actualized. I have read about some bitcoin maestros in this forum, therefore using the search option is one of the best means of getting some of these inspirational stories.

I don't know if it would be possible to identify the biggest bitcoin holders because most of them are anonymous, except for corporate bodies that publish their financial statements. You might not also find their worth in Forbes or other magazines. Stories about those that started bitcoin from the beginning could be accessed in this forum and other search engines. I wish you all the best sir.

You are looking for a very select group of individuals to contribute to your book. And I really don't know if early developers would be interested in reporting their story to you, because it's seem likely they would prefer to write a book themselves.

What do you mean by major bitcoin holders? What is the minimum number of btcs someone must hold to be considered a major holder for your research?

A very interesting topic you have got here. This topic needs someone that is grounded in bitcoin to handle and I can see you have been here for long even more than myself. So, I will give you that benefit of doubt.

Secondly, your topic will be more futuristic than now because bitcoin has not fully developed to be part of human way of life. It can be to some people but to majority it is not but in the near future it will totally be a part of human life.

based on title maybe try to go to el salavadore and interview someone there. since btc is really impacting they live, it's the national currency there

What kind of contents do you have in mind for your book title? Indeed bitcoin is a new part of human life, but writing a book under the umbrella of other people's stories won't have any concrete background for your text. They should be a message you are passing to your readers then link it to the stories you'll get from people. They're only two kinds of stories in this market, just like the main aspect of the ecosystem bull and bear, success and failure. Stories will always be about " I knew about bitcoin and didn't invest ", " I wish I invested in bitcoin long ago " though, some people had a profitable experience of bitcoin. My story is about not hodling bitcoin when I had them at a cheap rate, when the price got to 50k I had a regret of not holding my coins a bit longer.

In this case like I said earlier, if it would be possible for xanto to make a brief introductory to digital finance on how it started would be nice as it would arouse the interest of readers giving them the phases and stages digital finance past through before the invention of bitcoin. Then he can be able to state some experience he personal had together with his interview with prominent bitcoin early adopters possibly, he would be able to get the attention of his proposed targets.

This is a good thing but of course there will be many challenges about this, especially with the conditions where bitcoin is still a taboo for most of us. Even so I think you are doing a good thing and of course if you look at the title you want to make then this could be a new thing for people at least those closest to you to know about bitcoin specifically. Hopefully your work is quickly completed and there are no disturbances whatsoever.

Asking successful people in bitcoin investment will be a major clue to what you will be writing about,I love your motivation and how you intend to tell people about bitcoin through writing a book. I hope you will be able to gather more information here in the forum to assist you to achieve your goal. Can you  give a little information on what you tend to put in the book content ? Though,experience is the best teacher in life and bitcoin is gaining its ground gradually. Have the best time to make your research and publish your book,it is a good title and will attract people to it.

This forum itself would really be a huge help if you are really that tending to write a book yet real time experiences and knowledge could really be able to witness and be seen out of this forum but i do agree on what
you had said that experience itself would be the best teacher in life which you are the ones would be able to point out on whats good and whats bad. Bitcoins is something revolutionary and it is really that helpful
when we do talk about utility which there's no doubt that it do serve out its purpose and the other things on what it makes to be more popular is the earning opportunity that it could give into someone.
You would be able to publish a book out of these experiences.

Good luck with your plan and for the making of this book. I have a suggestion, leave your contact so that those want to be part of your book and willing to publish their story publicly or anonymously will just have to contact you.
It's a motivation to those that have a grudge against bitcoin and still don't believe with it, and when it's become published on a book then those skeptic people will probably have some glance of change with their minds that bitcoin is really a big thing and not just that, it has changed a lot of lives globally.

I know bitcoin in 2014 from my high school friend he actually love gambling  ;D but the money for he do gambling is actually from faucet you know there are dozen of it back a couple years ago.

and then Im interested and start do faucet job It really takes time since one faucet simply gives you only 200-1000 satoshi right. My friend and some of my brother doesn't believe in bitcoin at that time and ignored me that bitcoin might be an online scam.

long story short Im started to know HYIP(high yield investment program) is obviously is ponzi scheme  ;D I lose dozen of it and my blockchain.info account got hacked by phishing faucet hard money that I earn from a couple of months vanished :'( It really hurt me because it took my entire time hahaha. ps. I'm from Indonesia so a single US dollar is worth  ;D

and then I'm starting do freelancing job on this forum as a translator and bitcoin signature like this one and bounty stuff I earned more than 5 Bitcoin at that time and sold all of it (which is stupid if I know today's price is hahaha)
I'm decide to stay away from the crypto space and do some real work for almost 3 years because I don't know how to recover a hacked account.

After that Indonesian sub-forum member told me there is actually a way to recover the hacked account and then I recover it on Jan 2020. March covid hit my country and huge layoff happen in every place and my place I used to work bankrupt but lucky me I have my hero account back and now I'm do full Crypto job (i have been looking real job but with lack experience getting job is hard) and here I am now I don't know this will be a good story but all of this is my legit experience.

Bitcoin has been the subject of many books over the years, so I think that nothing is taboo to us when it comes to the subject. Some governments are still banning their people from using bitcoin, but that doesn't mean people can't read books about bitcoin, along with the growth of the internet, banning reading books or information is impossible.

I hope OP takes the time to research the forum posts, it will be helpful for his book. We have read a lot of shares of many successful investors with bitcoin on this forum.

Up :)

I don't know what your biggest plans are about publishing a book about bitcoin based on different user experiences.
It might be a good idea to expand on, and creating one bitcoin book would be great for you, but how can you rely on us when the concepts needed to author a book are so many?

About the title, you might need to simplify it even better instead of jumping to the conclusion that bitcoin is a new way of life for humans. I'm not an expert in this field, but bitcoin has different legalities from one country to another so not all bitcoin users can spend it as legal currency.
