I was going through a African airport today, on my way back from a project that we launched in Kenya and I saw this book in a little book shop, Mr Bitcoin: How I became a millionaire at 21 by Mpho Dagada

Even though this might not be one of the best books that I have ever read, it shows the success that might be possible, even in countries where you might never have thought that it was possible.

I spend most of my flight home reading the book and it made me think that more people should write books and articles on their successes with Bitcoin to increase adoption.

People like the rags to riches stories and it motivates them to achieve the same level of success.  Wink

Since I have not read this book so I cannot say how good this book is. I a not impressed by the title of book especially the word "millionaire". This will only attract the people for get rich scheme and get scammed.  I believe in attracting the mass with technology or by usefulness not by the money involved.
LN network is not stable right now and I think we have plenty of things to do before it can be adopted by masses.

I agree with you about writing articles and book but title of this book  does not look a good fit to me.
As the saying says, do not judge the book by its cover and we can apply it literally. Sure the title plays a huge aspect in the book but the title does not contain all the contents of the book itself. I hope this book have atleast ways on how to deal with problems encountered in bitcoin not just how he manages to get millionaire at the age of 21.
