I pay my kids allowance and chores in Bitcoin. They save in bitcoin. I have been inculcating my oldest (12) since he around 6 on the perils of fiat money. My youngest (4) just likes bitcoin because she knows I like bitcoin. She will often ask me at night "daddy did you remember to do your bitcoin on the computer today" haha.

Start with Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt. That will give you the basics of how to see the world like an economist.

Then, if you really want a deep understanding, read Human Action by Ludwig von Mises.

From there, you'll have a solid foundation to branch out into whatever specific econ topics interest you.

When people say "lightning usage is low, XYZ is the future," it sounds an awful lot like "bitcoin usage is low, ethereum is the future" to me.

Decentralized things are hard and take longer to work well, but that doesn't mean garbage is the future.

Peter McCormack kills the general audience bitcoin podcasting game for the same reasons Rogan does: he doesn’t need to put himself on the same level as his guests and he’s willing to be and sound stupid in the pursuit of helping his audience learn more from his guests. He’s also not interrogating his guests or jockeying for the moral high ground. He’s trying to harmonize with them and have good time.

  3. The Story of SN and FAQ page - are right on the bottom of SN page.

If people, after reading these articles, still don't get what is SN and how to use it, then they don't deserve to be on SN.
