Presenting:
BLOCKLAND: 21 Stories of Bitcoin, Blockchain, and Crypto-CurrencyThis 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.
