Resistance Money (Andrew M. Bailey, Bradley Rettler, and Craig Warmke)

We unpack Bitcoin as true resistance money — the tool that cuts out managers, mediators, and makers (banks, payment rails, central banks) who surveil, control, and manipulate. No more outsourcing your life to third parties whose incentives aren’t yours. We go deep on the cypherpunk vision. The veil of ignorance (and why Grant pushes back hard), sour grapes bias, what Bitcoin actually is as a social good, and why even the powerful might secretly want this unseizable money in the long run. Plus steelman rebuttals to “not backed,” “unfair distribution,” and “extremist” attacks.This book is elite.
