I was on the fence about reading this book or not, now I definitely will, thank you

great post! yes its absurd his shit is on amazon and not pure crypto digital

Going through this book at the moment, it is very insightful. Don’t steal it though, support people who are contributing to defi and wanting to build crypto economies!

A quote from the book that made me see the importance of the CCS and crowdfunding in general for Monero:

For most cryptocurrency projects, not just Bitcoin, developers call the shots. And notably, software developers don’t finance themselves. They have to get paid somehow. Therefore, the real power dynamics within a cryptocurrency projects are determined by how its software developers make decisions and get paid. The history of BTC is a cautionary tale of what happens when the incentives of developers become misaligned with the rest of the network.

Based. I couldn’t find it on annas archive before
