Non-Bitcoin Book That Changed My Whole Vision abt Bitcoin
Years ago when I first read The Richest Man in Babylon, a lot of my thinking about money, wealth, saving, and long-term value started to take shape. Looking back, I think many of the ideas that eventually led me to understand Bitcoin were planted by that book.
I was talking about this with a friend recently—how strange it is that a book written nearly a century ago can still influence the way we think about money today.
Then the algorithm recommended a video titled something like “The Richest Man in Babylon Never Heard of Bitcoin.”
It made me wonder whether the connection is deeper than it first appears.
The book repeatedly emphasizes saving, protecting purchasing power, and thinking in decades rather than months. Bitcoin obviously didn’t exist when it was written, but some of the underlying principles feel surprisingly compatible.
Curious if anyone else sees a connection between The Richest Man in Babylon and Bitcoin.
