Someone asked it on Stack Exchange:
http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/40738/what-is-the-best-way-make-money-with-bitcoinHere is my answer:
Hire an experienced C++ developer from Asia/India on a freelancer marketplace and give him 30 days to write you a 150+ pages book with the title "
Mastering C++ and the original
Bitcoin Source Code".
Tell them that you will pay him $1000.
Tell him also that, on top of that, you will pay him an extra:
$100 - if most people would give it just one star for the contents provided
$200 - if people would give 2 stars
...
$500 if people would give it five stars.
So, he could win a total maximum of $1500 ($1000+$500).
But reassure him, that if he is honest and hard working and provides a decent thing you will certainly pay him the correspondent to 3-4 stars ($1300-$1400).
If it is outsanding, superb or simply really good, that you pay him $1500.
Tell him that you just want a raw Word document with text and possibly some images/graphs he wants to add, that he makes himself, but for him not to spend much of his time with the book layout/pagination. He doesn't need to use QuarkXPress or Adobe InDesign, just a plain Word document [with text with **1.5 line spacing** and all C++ code syntax highlighted and line numbered] is required.
Then spend sometime youself to make it into a Kindle book. Just learn to make a kindle book out of such a Word document.
You invest some $1000-$1500.
And with a bit of work that you do yourself you get to publish that book on Amazon with your own name. If you want to you may give credit, inside the book, to the developer you hired, or dedicate the book to him, or something, that's up to you.
Just tell the C++ developer you hire: I want a book of +150 that explains the bitcoin source code that Satoshi Nakamoto created in the original client. Ask him to focus on the first versions of the code. Ask him to make the exposition of the code elegant and interesting, and teaching C++ at the same time, so that even if the reader is new to C++ programming he is still able to get some appreciation of it all from an outsider perspective. Tell him also: this is a book for people to learn about C++ and be able to understand much more of the bitcoin source code. Focus on the main parts of the code!
Make sure you get to grips with the bitcoin technology and also introduce a bit of history of money, from bartering to Gold coins of a Kingdom and paper currency and fractional reserve banking system.
Make sure he watches and understands:

#################################################
Will we have the book 'Bitcoin for Dummies' soon?
I was thinking along similar lines. If nobody's written it, who's willing to get this baby off the ground?
remotemass:
Things I would like it covering:
1) A good introduction to money and the implications of bitcoin for Economy, namely for a Anarcho-capitalism model of society.
2) A good introduction for assymetric encryption
3) Elliptic curves and Elliptic curves cryptography background, the role of ECDSA in bitcoin (Key-pair generation, Signature Generation, and Signature Verification)
4) Crytography concepts: hashing, National Security Agency, etc.
5) Satoshi paper in very digestible bytes
6) More computer power meaning more
irrevocability secure network. The scarcity and rarity being given by the hard coded timely/scheduled fashion of bitcoins entering circulation in the system and not by the electricity and computer resources used.
7) Making it clear that coins only exist as balances associated with a bitcoin address and that what you actually keep are the private keys.
Explaining that a private key is like a password that enables you to spend from a bitcoin address, that is made of 256 bits, that is, 256 zeros and ones, but is usually expressed in more condensed formats using hexadecimal numbering.
9) Explaining that private keys and public keys form a pair like a key and a locker and that the bitcoin address is very much the counter-part of the private key, that it follows directly from the public key. But their mathematical properties are very particular because it is possible to calculate in some fractions of a second the bitcoin address, in a pair, from its private key. But the reverse would take countless millions, if not billions of years as it would have to be done by trial and error, even if quantum computers were used.
10) Going through a simple version of Satoshi client code, ultra well commented, with UML diagrams and all software architecture behind it, all very well explained and documented. A kind of "Satoshi's Original Bitcoin Client - An Operational View" on steroids!!!
11) Commons myths, FAQ,

Much much more. Making us all code and technical savvys!!
