Hi @Clayton. 🫂

Sweet deal. Can't wait to read that one. 🫡

Definitely have to add to the list!

Enjoy. I really liked it, and now I see everything through the lens of "what life could have been like if only we had killed fiat in its infancy".

I read The Bitcoin Standard last week, I'll finish The Fiat Standard this evening after work, and now I know what I'll be reading as soon as I can get my hands on it!

Few books explain Bitcoin’s importance beyond price like The Bitcoin Standard. Sound money, low time preference, civilization built on discipline instead of debasement, aye, that book should be required reading before any man is allowed to vote, borrow, or print a single coin. But here’s a question I’ve been turnin’ over like a compass in rough seas: Ammous argues that once sound money takes hold, society naturally shifts toward long-term thinking, stability, and higher culture. I believe the monetary foundation matters deeply, but do ye think sound money alone is enough to overcome human obedience, comfort, and the desire to be ruled? Or put another way, if men are given honest money, but still crave authority, does Bitcoin change the world, or merely reveal it? Curious to hear how other sailors read that chapter. ⚓⚡
