There is a pretty good one on Amazon, except it spends to much time with this guy named Roger Ver, who is absolutely insane and probably the most hated person in bitcoin right now for trying to push his own version of it.

I was tempted to put this in the media thread, but its stunning that such a mind-numbingly stupid article could exist in the real world, much less on a tech site, at least until you find out that the author is a literal card-carrying socialist. It's like he thinks someone is literally mining bitcoins out of a cave somewhere in China.

When your first four words are "With its price dropping" on the same day that the price went up $2000... wew lad.

just as long as institutions aren't accepting bitcoin as collateral on which to make loans

and people are not taking out home equity loans to buy bitcoin

everything should end fine
