A Real world BITCOIN BOOK

Author & Bitcoin Traveler
I am currently finishing a book tentatively titled Proof of Work (open to suggestions) based on a two-year journey across 42 countries living on Bitcoin. The project was crowdfunded by the Bitcoin community and is now moving into final editing, production, and print.
There are already several good Bitcoin books that explain the idea of Bitcoin. This book shows what happens when Bitcoin becomes part of everyday life, especially in places where money breaks down quickly.
I’m targeting 10,000+ copies over the first two years across print and digital formats, with long-term potential beyond that. The project already has a global Bitcoin-native audience built through the journey itself, meetups, talks, and ongoing engagement.
The book will be published on Amazon in print and digital formats, with a planned release in Summer 2026. It is a long-form book of approximately 250–300 pages.
Early Supporters
For Version 1.0, a few sponsorship placements are available inside the book, along with participation in the launch and story around it. It’s a way to be associated with a real-world Bitcoin story that will live on shelves for years.
