'The Bitcoin History Book' in Progress (RELEASE: September 2024)

[Ruttoshi]

OP, I appreciate your endless effort and zeal to write this book as I have read in your other thread when you started writing the book, and I am pleased that you are making progress on this project, because it shows how much you love bitcoin and you have also dedicate your time to teach people about bitcoin through your book.

I hope to see you complete the book on the right time that you said, and I hope that you will get more donations from forum members. I admire your passion on this.

It will be released next September 2024, unless I come down with something terrible.  I have learnt more about Bitcoin whilst putting the book together

THE BITCOIN HISTORY BOOK 2008-2024

Well, first I congratulate you for doing such great work that will support many Bitcoin users. I saw the book that you have uploaded on your X account and read some part of it and what I decided is that you did wonderful work not only by writing it too well but also thby e interior when I saw was very attractive and good looking which give an additional and handsome look to your book. Through this book, I think many people who only know about Bitcoin invention in 2009 and after that,  will know about the history of Bitcoin how the idea of Bitcoin comes, and how it is made. Hope this book will bring some revolution in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Lastly I again appreciate your work and hope to grab what you want as support

Thank you for your gracious praise. Me and my partner have had a short argument about money/finances after i got home from work. I am the type of person who works hard, but sometimes my motivation wanes if i try too hard.  I hope the community gets behind my efforts so a brilliant book can be released next year.

I look forward to hearing more praise and feedback.

I remember your previous threads and mentions of the Bitcoin book you are working on. I am glad it's progressing nicely and is on route to hit the shelves in less then a year. A book with A4 dimensions is quite bulky to hold in your hands. Does it have a lot of images and graphics that warrants such a big size? Perhaps a smaller one wouldn't be a bad idea. Anyway, good luck with the project and hopefully it will be a success.

The book dimensions allow for more information on each page, plus the side bars. It was decided to shift all future cryoto history books to A4 3 years ago. The DigiByte histiry book is A4 size.

Who likes the A4 page format?

[BlackHatCoiner]

Is it just me or is formatting broken?

If you haven't considered the block size wars (which is a big part of Bitcoin's history), I suggest you have a read of "The Blocksize War: The battle over who controls Bitcoin’s protocol rules". It mentions quite a few notable points in summary.

I would be nice the read the mentioned book, but I don't have the spare money for it.  I live a basic life within which I do my best.  I don't want to dive into the block wars too much in 'The Bitcoin History Book 2008-2024', but it will get sufficient coverage.  

The formatting is temporarily broken because I regularly attached URL links and comments to the page sides (MS Publisher!). It is a draft document after all

Am very certain such a book will cover the previous halving and the experience of those who had investment therein when it happened up until the halving of 2024, explained with details and statistics of events.
It's a very nice concept and it shows dedication to duty on the front of cryptocurrencies where everyone seems to hide and under the guise of playing it safe.

All 4 halvings, including the upcoming one, will be covered in the book. Hope you support or donate to my onging effort. Thank you for replying.

I hope community members donate towards my efforts. It will help enormously towards completing the book in September 2024. I cannot quantify how many hours it will take until then, but I am committed to spend as much of my free time as possible. Thank you in advance.

I'll do what I can to make it a reality

I vividly remember you, it was way back in February this year I saw your post.


I'm earnestly want to get a copy of your book. Hopefully get a hand on loads of stuff I omitted while trying to understand the tech better.

Bitcoin has remained the most laudible innovation in the techological space for decades and deserves to be adorned in writing. I strongly believe that the whitepaper isn't all there should be about Bitcoin.

We can have some more content to guide and guard people on it. Only an indeth knowledge on it can advise one on how to navigate.

I'm confident the book will do justice in educating people about Bitcoin without being too technical.

For of all, thank you to all those who have commented on this thread including useful feedback.  It is motivating and helps me to assess progress.  I have nearly completed the first draft of 8 chapters covering 2008-2016 (see draft preview, some pages removed) immediately below.  The Bitcoin yearly history chapters begin on page 44 after introductory and other BTC related pages.  

To be honest, I am slightly baffled about the lack of generosity from the community.  Countless time and energy has been put into it so far, and I am determined to write draft pages for 2017-end June 2024 next year.  I'm far from a greedy person (live in a small terrace house with terrible heating and an abomination of a garden) who continuously loves to learn and work hard.  Moreover, I turn down overtime at work in favour of writing this book.  If you can, please donate:

With sufficient help, I know the book will be completed by September 2024.  Thank you in advance for your support and feedback.

With the different sources and information regarding bitcoin, i must say this is well appreciated!

this is a good thing because sometimes people lose interest when they encounter too many jargons and I personally have experienced that because I couldn’t understand anything, I eventually dropped the book i was reading about crypto and deemed it boring so i’m hoping that this book encourages more beginners to leap into the world of crypto

I'ved tried my best to cover as many major BTC milestones as possible.  Furthermore, the book presents BTC price history very well.  It points out when BTC surpassed $0.10, $1, $10, $100, $1,000, $10,000 etc.

It's very nice. Here's my 50 merit.

Any idea where you're going to publish it on? Or maybe there's going to be a pre-order of this that you can order with crypto, right?

In any case, I think this will be a very successful venture when this is done, as there are probably thousands of people who are interested in reading such a book - even if they don't own any crypto themselves.

The aim is to self-publish it (paperback, hardcover, ebook) in September 2024. I haven't given pre-orders much thought as it is just me working on it (i have many other life responsibilities). I seek sponsors and dinations to help make the target publication date more of a reality.

There is roughly half the book left to do. If you, and others in the Bitcoin community, want it to be a success, please generously help. It is Christmas after all.

I'll try to nap (sleep) for a while, because I feel exhausted.
