Don't overlook the gem of Gaea Trilogy by John Varley.

Personally, I came from a PM background so had a healthy hatred of that fiat trash already. I also had recently read Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle, a monumental work of historical fiction that deals with the nature of money and cryptrography that I would strongly recommend hodlers to read. So my response to discovering Bitcoin was more like "OMFG... ... ...an IMPLEMENTATION!!!"
Personal favorite. Short and sweet. http://www.electricinca.com/56/stephenson/simoleon.pdf“We’ve been doing E-money for e-ons, ever since automated-teller machines.” Joe says, with just the right edge of scorn. “Nowadays we can use it to go shopping in the Metaverse. But it’s still in U.S. dollars. Smart people are looking for something better.” Saved. Thanks! I'm reading Snow Crash right now.

Most luxury items are stupid, from "limited edition sneakers" to diamonds to those "super" cars.
Basically a "stupid tax".

Can you feel the lack of gravity? We are already in space, theres no floor anymore.
We crossed L1, and now Moon gravity overcomes Earth gravity. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fe%2Fe0%2FLagrange_points_Earth_vs_Moon.jpg&t=663&c=zmyrDXqZGz46og)

Maybe it's a dream. Maybe we're all in a dream. Spin your totem.

If living off-the-grid means no internet and no human contact, then NO WAY.

Well I don't care how it looks, if BTC hits 100.000 I'm buying a Rolex Submariner as a little HODL reward. This one's already less than 1 BTC anyway.
