21 Lessons: What I've Learned from Falling Down the Bitcoin Rabbit Hole

by Gigi

A dive into the philosophical, economic, and technological lessons learned from exploring Bitcoin's rabbit hole.

Key Insights

  • Bitcoin represents a fundamental shift from trust-based to proof-based systems
  • The 21 million supply cap creates a new form of absolute scarcity in the digital age
  • Bitcoin's proof-of-work transforms energy into digital value and security

Personal Reflection

This book offers a solid introduction to Bitcoin's philosophical and economic implications. Gigi does a good job breaking down complex concepts into accessible lessons, though some ideas felt repetitive or too shallow.
