Namaste dear bitcoiners :)
This is a crowdfund page for the book. If you’d like to support the making of the book directly, you can do so here.
The funds go toward finishing the book properly. This covers:
- Editing (structure, clarity, and tightening the manuscript)
- Proofreading and final polish
- Book design and layout for print and digital formats
- Cover design and typesetting
- Audiobook preparation (editing and production)
- File preparation for print, ebook, and archival formats
Hopefully the book will be ready by May - June 2026!
Either way, please do share your blessings. They go a long way.
Thank you,
Paco
