The Bitcoin Tao is a meditation on how Bitcoin isn't just a technology but a return to the way things were always meant to be.

The Bitcoin Tao is my multi-year long reflection on the parallels and paradoxes of Taoist philosophy and the shared principles that underpin Bitcoin.
There are only 210 copies of the library edition - and it is now available for preorder!

she is not special and you will get through this.

How do you get a job in the bitcoin industry?
Is bitcoin even an industry?
What kind of skills are companies in the bitcoin industry looking for?
Are crypto and bitcoin companies looking for different things? (hint: yes)
How will an ETF change the industry?
What sort of mindsets help bitcoiners get hired?
In Episode 46, I'm joined by Eric Podwojski of Bitcoin Talent Co to talk all about bitcoin jobs and wrap up with a little bit of reflection, mindfulness and motivation on working in an industry and on building things we enjoy.

Matt Hill from Start9 joined Denver BitDevs last month to emphasize why it's so important to self-host your own computing infrastructure and run a bitcoin node. Your computer - your data. Not your computer - not your data.
