Bitcoin

Bitcoin’s price has gone crazy up, and now I’m really responsible for learning it. I found the book Programming Bitcoin1 by Jimmy Song, it looks good enough to give it a try. It uses Python to teach, which is uninteresting and I end up only skimming over it, which leads to low retention.

Bitcoin is all over the news, this time with big investors pouring money into it, a global pandemic that put the economy on hold, and governments printing money like crazy. Price raises, it is a bubble again. Maybe it is responsible this time to at least try to learn about Bitcoin without rushing to get it like everybody else seems to be doing again.
