James Altucher Wants Your Bits

“One sec…thinking of another way to troll my own site with an obviously stupid opinion.”

Consistently hit-or-miss James Altucher‘s new book, upon first release, will only be bought with Bitcoins, the currency of choice of libertarian doofs everywhere. It’s supposedly the first of its kind to do that.

Many people who self-publish right now are simply uploading their files and hoping for the best. I am self-publishing as if I were my own actual publishing company and doing every aspect of this perhaps even more professionally than a publishing company does things. I plan on describing the step-by-step in a separate post on what things I did here that are different than the average self-published (or even mainstream-published) book. So that’s why I decided to keep June 3 as the official release date.

That said, the book is ready now, I’m fascinated by Bitcoin as a “Choose Yourself” currency, and didn’t think it was a big deal to release it this way three weeks early. I don’t expect a lot of people will buy via Bitcoins (I don’t think that many people have Bitcoins) but I liked the idea of being the FIRST book in history to be, for a couple of weeks at least, only available on Bitcoin.
