Looks cool! Might have a play around with it some time soon when I get a chance. Do you have any further introductory content i.e. videos or something which shows the backend and how all the major features work?
Nice! The first step is always the most difficult to make.
@k00b gave some solid advice, I'd also add that you can divide book into tiny goals - i.e.:
Today I will write a paragraph (or two) on subject X.
On the weekend, I will play around with some ideas for the cover.
Next week, I will work on chapter Y.
A book as a goal in and of itself can be too daunting and put you off from doing it due to its perceived scope and complexity. It can also make you drift from actually relaying a message to publishing a book for the sake of publishing a book. I remember browsing some writing related subreddits some time ago and I was always irked by how writers were concerned about their word count. It's like with body count, IMO - the less, the better, but make sure they're meaningful!
Pretty basic advice, I know, but hey, perhaps it helps!
Bitcoin Art Podcast Ep. 8 w/ @asanoha & yours truly in 1h 👀
Fiat money is not just a means of payment. It is a political institution that has been used to plunder the wealth of the low- and middle-class for centuries, and it must be allowed to die in order for a better solution to emerge. In the current political and geopolitical moment, you have to know how to choose your side. Mine is that of the peoples of the world, Bitcoin and freedom. Long live the timechain.
"The Stoic philosopher is the man who has liberated himself from fear. He’s not afraid of death, he’s not afraid of pain, he’s not afraid of other people’s dismissal as a fool. The only thing he cares about is that he should meet his moral obligations.”
― Michael Sugrue
A great quote from an even greater lecture:
Be me → Spend 5 hours perfecting the email and the sell sheet → Send out the first email to one of the most important prospective clients → Send it with the wrong Subject line → FML
I need some sleep ASAP.

Hey that's not too bad
Although a one page infographic seems a bit underwhelming in light of the density and length of the source conversation:
Contacting a bunch of companies to either list on my website or to have my work (book & calendar) listed on theirs... Also want to take the leap and offer the book to a couple of large retailers here in Estonia. Fingers crossed! Apparently I'm also switching hosting providers (again! FYI aspiring webmasters: Cloudways is shit), working on a piece making the connection between Stoic philosophy and Bitcoin, hopefully will also get to publishing an old essay and maybe the first chapter of my book as podcast episode... Have a conversation with a Bitcoin art OG booked in for Sunday (which may or may not end up as a podcast episode) so I'm excited & preparing for that, mostly, really. Oh and I still need to get proper affiliate options/terms online for both Satoshee and Kontext Store of Value... maybe I can get to that as well. There's more on the list, but I'll be lucky & more than happy if I can cross all of the above off the list before next Monday!
AAah! Want! NEED!!
If anybody wants to make me a Christmas present... plane tickets to Honduras would hit the spot!
