Why it’s on the list: A partisan history of the block-size war from the losing side, arguing that Bitcoin’s development was captured.

Where I saw it: A reply to @WillManidis’s question on X, June 2, 2025 — “what is the single best book you can read that will explain an entire industry?” — recovered from that thread and saved to Kyle’s Apple Note “Books To Read”. Thread: https://x.com/willmanidis/status/1929527399718269081

One side of a contested history; read as argument, not as settled account. Page count not verified — the field is omitted.
