Thinking of buying bitcoin? Know the rigged game that you would be playing.

This book exposes the lies that bitcoin is a new type of money or is a safe asset to own for the long term.

You can create your own cryptocurrency in 15 minutes after watching a free public online video. There are thousands of cryptocurrencies and more every day.

There are no assets at all backing a bitcoin. The main function of the bitcoin network is simply gambling, where new players pay those who entered earlier. It is a zero-sum game. It is a fool's game.

This book is the first of the Bitcoin Exposed series and is intended as an overview for the average person. The much more detailed and updated book in the series is The Coinmen.

With the release of ChatGPT at the end of 2022, artificial intelligence - or AI - became all the rage.

This book includes important quotations about AI by the Artificial Intelligentsia, people from many different academic disciplines who also understand other disciplines. The Artificial Intelligentsia have the Interdisciplinarian Perspective: they come, not just from technology backgrounds, but also from philosophy, art, language, writing, entertainment, astronomy, science, and business. The quotations illustrate how advances with AI will continue to result from the Artificial Intelligentsia who possess the Interdisciplinarian Perspective.

Many of the Interdisciplinarians quoted in this book disagree on many fundamental issues surrounding AI, including on the whether AI will improve the lives of humans - or destroy humans forever.

Each quotation is followed by a funny limerick - written by the human author of this book. AI does not yet have a funny bone. Rest assured that humans will be making funnier limericks than AI for a very long time.

This booklet is for those who wish to have - in full color print - the best pictures from the first two books of the Bitcoin Exposed series, Bitcoin: The Mother of all Scams and Bitcoin: The New Gambling Addiction.

There are no words to read in this paperback booklet, only color pictures.

This book is fun to read. The colored illustrations will bring back happy memories from childhood years. It is sop's fables dressed up for the bitcoin age, perfect as a coffee table book.

It makes a great gift, especially for all those hoodwinked by the bitcoin craze.

The book contains 48 all-time favorite fables including:

- The Goose and the Golden Egg
- The Pied Piper
- The Miser
- The Milkmaid and the Milk
- The Tortoise and the Hare
- The Proud Man's New Clothes
- The Boy Who Cried Wolf
- The Country Mouse and the Town Mouse
- The Lion and the Asses
- The Oak and the Reeds
- The Wolves and the Sheep
- The Oxen and the Wheels
- The Travelers and the Purse
- The Dog and the Bone
- The Old Lion and the Fox

Each fable is accompanied by a moral to live by and a picture in color.

sop's fables are very applicable to the bitcoin era.

Like Saint-Exupéry's Le Petit Prince, Satoshi's Fables is a little book with colorful pictures for children and important life messages. The fables about animals teach about human motives, risks, and wisdom. It particularly speaks to the bitcoin madness.

- Jonathan Shyster, ex-bitcoin promoter

Trust is a vital issue in our society, more so lately as we communicate online with strangers whose premises and motives are unknown to us. More and more tweets, emails and LinkedIn messages come to us from unknown sources for reasons that may be friendly, but may also be hostile. Some are scams; some are cyberattacks on our businesses.

Personal relationships are built on trust but trust can be betrayed. So many of us who put our trust in government, companies, charitable institutions, media outlets, and fundamental human values have felt hoodwinked at times.

I have a stake in trust because I have seen strong friendships fall apart over differences in political opinion, differences in religious beliefs, differences in how we interpret the news. We are all unique individuals, and, sometimes, that uniqueness gets in the way of trust. I, personally, value diversity of opinion but, in today's climate, there seems to be a mandate to follow a party line. Free thinkers aren't trusted.

For all these reasons, I have researched and compiled in this book some of the most relevant quotations about trust throughout the ages. I hope that this wisdom of the ages will help people trust the trustworthy and remain wary of the criminals.

There is a quotation here for most every situation. Always remember that ancient Russian proverb, Trust but Verify.

Over 100 quotations from the top thinkers in physics, including:
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.- Albert Einstein
Nature is one. It is not divided into physics, chemistry, quantum mechanics.- Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think.- Werner Heisenberg
The 'paradox' is only a conflict between reality and your feeling of what reality 'ought to be.' - Richard Feynman
If you start any large theory, such as quantum mechanics, plate tectonics, evolution, it takes about 40 years for mainstream science to come around. Gaia has been going for only 30 years or so.- James Lovelock
Quantum theory was split up into dialects. Different people describe the same experiences in remarkably different languages. This is confusing even to physicists.- David Finkelstein
Quantum physics tells us that no matter how thorough our observation of the present, the (unobserved) past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities.- Stephen Hawking

Famous quotations and humor about risk, courage, bravery, and decision-making.
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

- Thomas A. Edison

There is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.
Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat.
And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.

- William Shakespeare

He is terribly afraid of dying because he hasn't yet lived.

- Franz Kafka
