It’s a serious, deeply considered security investigation of Bitcoin. Coming from an industrial control system point of view, Luke lays out a framework for thinking about threats and then spends ten ridiculously well-researched and balanced chapters investigating everything from quantum to arbitrary data, mining centralization, key management and physical security.

I wasn't overly impressed when I first saw the book (oh no, anti-spam KNOTZING in book form) but it turned out to be something quite different and much wider and hell of a lot more impressive/importanthttps://stacker.news/items/1488065

I had the outline extremely early on. Apart from some minor refinements, this book existed in my head six months ago. The process was all about going from outline to first draft, then polishing the drafts, iteratively. My notes folder has 10 revision cycles, and each one I focused on different areas, including making everything more consistent.
