Bitcoin_Review_of_Books

BRB's github is live. Enjoy. See the surprizes inside. github.com/Bitstorian69/B…

Pizza Day! Today we celebrate what persistence, hard work and minds set free to innovative can do... And it happens to be the start of the weekend, a perfect time to deep dive into your next Bitcoin topic.

@jmanhnt And @SoloSatoshi is an ardent supporter of on-the-ground, in-the-classroom Bitcoin education, consistently doing the work to facilitate Bitcoin teaching across the country with actions over words.

I just want anyone that follows me to know that Solo Satoshi is awesome! They got good deals and great customer service. Not sponsored or anything, just like to rep good companies doing good things. Bought 3 miners from them. Might never hit a block, but pretty cool hobby!

BRB's mempool has a list of classics and new books for review. One of the most urgent, for a certain BRB editor teaching students next Fall how to create a timechain, is @LukasHozda's Building Bitcoin in Rust @Braiins. Please and thank you.

Following the Github post, BRB is excited to announce the publication of its newest review, of a core book for everyone interested in Bitcoin, @JosefTetek's Bitcoin: Separation of Money and State, published by @Braiins! Read at your leisure, about what is an urgent task.

Who’s up for writing the review… Bitcoin security is definitely a topic all Bitcoin education could use more of, at advanced levels.

@Real_PizzAndy @GalaxyMind Oooh, he’s a professor.

@GalaxyMind The few people I've spoken to who have worked for/with him have not had kind things to say, so it kinda sounds like he makes others' and his own life difficult for egotistical purposes.

For the first time ever I had to block someone. On LinkedIn no less. Some guy who is a self proclaimed expert in everything, insists on repeatedly harassing my posts about how my idea sucks/uneconomical/not practical, without offering any other input other than things like "tHhorTy-oNe ceNnt hASh pRice". And what products I "should" be working on instead. I'm fine with legit criticism, his very first input months ago was helpful in that it made me reexamine the narrative of my product in a more objective way. There is a clear distinction between criticism and you just shitting on something because you think you know so much better. Like he can't just be like "huh that's stupid" and move on? He has to actively drop a big fat turd on it too? He's done this multiple times. I've posted plenty of rebuttal about the crazy growth of the home/hobby mining sector, the emerging companies in the heatpunk scene, and that's not even to mention the explosion going on in additive manufacturing, industrial and hobby alike. "YOU SHOULD WANT TO APPEAL TO ME, I'M YOUR CUSTOMER" Dude, if you act so entitled in your opinion about: -someone you've never met -working on something you've never seen -with technical experience you don't have I don't even want to know how entitled you would act when you have money involved. I don't want a customer which is a nightmare to deal with. That's what's actually uneconomical. That's the whole reason I quit a regular job. That's the whole reason I'm in #Bitcoin.

@SoloSatoshi Read Atlas Shrugged.

You meet someone who's new in Bitcoin. What's your first word of advice?

@256FOUNDATION Awesome! How often do Bitcoiners get to say “oh, who I voted for actually won” and “the vote winner truly earned that victory”? Not enough, it feels. So, congrats to @256FOUNDATION!!

Open-source mining is the future. And the work has already started. Keep up with our progress on 256foundation.org Thank you to the MARA Foundation and all of our supporters.

Files of the winning research and the past/future calls are in the Prize's GitHub. github.com/Bitstorian69/B…

BRB is super excited for the winners and all the amazing Bitcoin research that students are doing, often totally in silos. We hope that this first Bitcoin Student Research Prize will foster the approval of Bitcoin courses, labs, programs & mining at US educational institutions.

@agbegin @bitstorian @rettlerb The material is now in the Prize's GitHub github.com/Bitstorian69/B…

@bitstorian @rettlerb

ANNOUNCEMENT: @bitstorian and I are thrilled to announce the winners of the Student Bitcoin Research Prizes for the 2025-2026 academic year. We got a number of good submissions, and these are the best of the best!

@theonlyposted @Parasite_wtf BRB uses @Parasite_wtf for transparency. But now let's teach everyone to build their own mining servers at home... Datum Gateways, HydraPool servers, or even just installing ckpool to mine via one's node. Decentralize the entire infrastructure of mining.

This is how you show the community that you are serious about taking mining power domination away from the big companies. 🦠 We've won 2 blocks on Parasite and more to come as we grow our collective hash power. ☣️ It ain't much, but it's honest work 😤

What’s the first book you should read when starting to learn about Bitcoin? That’s simple: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. This the cornerstone of the Bitcoin ethos. Read it before learning anything else in Bitcoin and all of the everything in Bitcoin will make sense as you encounter it. Reading Atlas Shrugged is the first step on the path toward fulfillment.

@SoloSatoshi @HC_SoloSatoshi From campuses? Classrooms? Dorm rooms? Teachers’ lunchrooms?

8 blocks. 25 BTC. >$2 million dollars. Mined from bedrooms, garages, and closets with open source hardware you can build yourself. The home mining revolution has begun. Join us.

And that hashrate is being produced largely by a hashrate-heating Slim19 built by @RickThomasII - and yes, still in April. It’s snowing here as we speak.

As we prepare the next Bitcoin Reviews, our donation wallet has been topped up a bit thanks to our hashrate @Parasite_wtf & the recent block, yay. So if you want a print copy of a book to review… :)

👀 @SoloSatoshi once again proving to be a leader in supporting Bitcoin education, with real actions, with even more BitAxes donated to even more Bitcoin students, for even more Bitcoin learning!
