Brief Review of "Hijacking Bitcoin" by Roger Ver
For context. I'm kinda neutral in this whole thing. I've held BTC and BHC before, and I have also listened to the counter-audiobook, "The Blocksize War".
"Hijacking Bitcoin" is an excellent book. It should be read/listened to by anyone interested in hearing all sides the Bitcoin story.
It felt like hear the perspective of the side who just lost a war. Big blockers may have been righteous, but they lost. I came away feeling like big blocks are true to the original Bitcoin vision, and would enable Bitcoin to have the greatest impact, particularly for the world's poorer people, but those things didn't matter in the end.
The book is a truly brutal smear of the current BTC. It honestly did real damage to my conviction in BTC, and I don't think I can ever listen to Micheal Saylor again.
TY Roger Ver for the excellent book. I've consumed a lot of content about cryptocurrency and bitcoin, and this book was an incredibly insightful and unique meal in my diet of crypto-content.
