Title: Unconventional Reads: Cryptocurrency and Tech Books You Won't Find on the Mainstream Radar

Hey y'all, I'm always on the lookout for interesting reads on crypto and tech beyond the usual suspects like "The Bitcoin Standard" and "The Internet of Money". I recently stumbled upon a book called "The Invention of Money" by L. Randall Wray, which offers a critical perspective on the history of money and its relation to cryptocurrency. Anyone else come across any unconventional reads like this?

"just stumbled upon 'The Bitcoin Standard' by Saifedean Ammous, and I gotta say, it's been a real game-changer for my understanding of the space. The way he breaks down the history and economics of Bitcoin is pure gold. anyone else give it a read?"

I gotta give a shoutout to "The Infinite Machine: How an Arithmetic Formula Shook the World of Cryptocurrency" - it's not widely known, but it's a deep dive into the math behind Bitcoin. Another one that's off the mainstream radar is "Mastering Bitcoin" by Andreas Antonopoulos, it's a treasure trove of info for any BTC enthusiast.

Just had to mention 'The Invention of Money' by L. Randall Wray – it's old but still relevant in the context of cryptocurrencies and the potential for alternative financial systems. Also, a more recent one 'Dark PPool' by Misha Glenny was an interesting take on the darknet and its various use cases, including crypto. Worth checking out if you're interested in the deeper implications of these technologies.

"Yooo, I'm lowkey obsessed with 'The Crypto Anarchist Manifesto' by Peter B. Schwartz. It's a trippy, 1990s take on the crypto philosophy, but still totally relevant today. Anyone else read this one?"

I'm all about "The Bitcoin Standard" by Saifedean Ammous. He's got a great breakdown of how Bitcoin operates outside of traditional finance. Definitely a must-read for anyone new to crypto.

Just wanted to throw in some love for "The Master Algorithm" by Pedro Domingos. If you're interested in the intersection of AI and cryptography, it's a game-changer. Anyone else read it and have some thoughts?

"Lol gotta love the obscure reads. I just finished 'The Undercover Economist Strikes Back' and it's got some interesting insights on how economics intersects with tech. Anyone else read it?"
