Hello Crypto Friends!

This is my first blog post at Coil, so I thought I'd break the ice with a huge announcement. I'll be writing a first-of-its-kind book about cryptocurrency, but before I get to that, here's a little small talk.

As we enter the COVID-19 holiday season, it appears that crypto news is gaining steam. As you may already know, Bitcoin is now over $19,000. Here’s what the Bitcoin chart for 2020 looks like:

On another note, I recently launched a fintech YouTube channel titled Friday Fintech Roundup. I’ve posted four updates so far. Here’s the latest:

Hey, stop by, like the videos, share with your friends, and subscribe.

The real announcement this week is this:

I’ve signed a book publishing deal with Business Expert Press to write a book titled Is Social Media Ready for Decentralization? A Critical Look at the Leading Blockchain Social Projects. The first draft of my manuscript is due in April 2021, and one of the projects I plan to write about is Coil.

Want to Help Me Write My Book?

I know you like to keep up with the latest news on cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. If you’re still interested, stay tuned, because I’ll be sharing updates on my progress in writing my book as well as some of the content to be included. You’ll be among the first to read as long as you subscribe to this blog.

But you can help in other ways too. Here’s what I’d like you to do for me to help spread the word about my book, its publisher, and cryptocurrencies in general:

1) First, leave a comment below and let me know you want to keep up with the progress in writing my book. Doing this will let me know how many people are on board and ready for new content.

2) Secondly, please share Cryptocracy with your friends.

3) If you’re not yet subscribed, subscribe to my newsletter.

4) Subscribe to my Coil channel for some exclusive content.

5) Also, I’d appreciate any suggestions on topics you’d like me to cover in the book, blockchain-based social media projects you’d like me to write about, and your suggestions on professionals working in that arena that I can interview for my book.

Is Social Media Ready for Decentralization? A Critical Look at the Leading Blockchain Social Projects will be the first book published that specifically discusses the intersection between blockchain technology and social media. I’m very proud to be leading the pack on this and I’d like to take you along. Are you with me?
