The Bitcoin Standard is so often recommended as something you should use to explain Bitcoin to a loved one or friend that’s interested. I love Bitcoin but it’s probably the worst way I can imagine to Orange Pill someone. Way too many opinions that have nothing to do with Bitcoin.

The Price of Tomorrow by Jeff Booth (npub1s05…eyhe) is great. Just a clear description of the situation.

Bitcoin is Venice is also great, explains multiple times why Bitcoin is different from other coins.

I will say stock-to-flow was a great way to explain Bitcoin’s uniqueness but the rest of the book will turn a lot of people off.
