4 October 2016 is when Elizabeth Sandifer sent me on my journey down the bizarre, amazing and frequently dumb as hell path of writing about crypto:<\/p>\n
sandifermessages<\/b> You might try knocking together an ebook short. Aim for $2.99 and 15k words. \u201cWhy Bitcoin Is Stupid\u201d or something.<\/p>\n
reddragdiva<\/b> \ud83d\ude00 that\u2019s actually a REALLY good idea<\/p>\n
sandifermessages<\/b> Glad to help. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
reddragdiva<\/b> any tips? how hard should i work on this thing? how should i market it? etc etc just off the top of your head, i know 0 about this basically. i\u2019d start with everything i\u2019ve rambled on the topic in the past whatever which is huge amounts<\/p>\n
sandifermessages<\/b> I\u2019d just market through your existing channels, and try not to spend more time on it than it needs. I\u2019ll give it a shout-out as well, obvs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The loved one’s reaction: “Oh dear God this is a thing that is happening. Sandifer, you bastard<\/i>, what have you unleashed???”<\/p>\n
I’d previously helped Elizabeth with Neoreaction A Basilisk: Essays On and About the Alt-Right<\/em> (US<\/a>, UK<\/a>) a book about what is wrong<\/em> with these people. It’s a fantastic book, and I’m not just saying that because my name’s in the first sentence.<\/p>\n
Elizabeth has been visiting London this week — to see the William Blake exhibition at the Tate<\/a> — so we went out last night for a curry and a pint.<\/p>\n
