Easy Money: Cryptocurrency, Casino Capitalism, and the Golden Age of Fraud | Ben McKenzie, Jacob Silverman

pick

A skeptics look into the world of Crypto. An informative read. I‘m a bit of a skeptic myself when it comes to “unregulated securities”, which is what Crypto is to a degree. Betting on enthusiasm is what it is in reality. Acknowledging those who have made money from Crypto and lost. It‘s very much open to fraud. 4/5 on Goodreads.com

Forecast: What Physics, Meteorology and the Natural Sciences Can Teach Us about Economics | Mark Buchanan

#weeklyforecast

There‘ll definitely be more books than this in my week, as I can‘t seem to stop myself from starting new books at the moment and, with the Women‘s Prize for Fiction long list this week, I‘ve got no chance!

I‘ve just started the two on the left, for the NF long list, and both seem really interesting. The Postcard is the one that‘s drawing all of my attention right now I just can‘t put it down. I‘m about halfway through Talking.

LeeRHarry I read one of Laura Cumming‘s previous books - see tagged - and really enjoyed it, so Thunderclap intrigues me as does The Britannias. NB just seen that you have read that one too. 😊

Cathythoughts Can‘t wait to start Postcard ❤️ 2mo

squirrelbrain Yes, I was just about to respond that I enjoyed On Chapel Sands too! @LeeRHarry The Britannias seems to be personal memoir intertwined with women‘s history, which should prove interesting. 2mo

rockpools I‘m looking forward to your thoughts on The Britannias. I really thought I‘d love it, but yeah. I seem to have switched my allegiance to Eve, which is (suprisingly) BRILLIANT. 2mo

squirrelbrain Did you start The Britannias yet? @rockpools I‘m having a real issue with magpieness- all the books are so shiny and sparkly I can‘t stick to just one! 2mo

rockpools @squirrelbrain 😂😂Magpieness is a thing! I‘ve read the first chapter… I‘ll read a couple more… but I don‘t know if I‘ll get through it when there are so many other shinies! (And I want to know more about the prehistoric squirrel-weasel-mice of Eve. Weird. But more important than islands to me right now. Very weird.) 2mo

squirrelbrain Well, you know the squirrel-weasel-mice are far more important to me too! 🤣 @rockpools 2mo

youneverarrived I‘m listening to Thunderclap at the moment - enjoying it so far. 2mo

BarbaraBB Great plans Helen! It‘s going to be an exciting week! Happy you‘re loving The Postcard! 2mo

Hi Litsy I have a short window. I have an IOS phone. For the past 2 days Litsy comes up as the white screen with the logo minutes later just says can‘t connect. My internet is fine. I turned off/on my phone, uninstalled-reinstalled, let my phone totally die. Did the new iOS update. And it‘s still the same. I go to the desktop version on my laptop and it can‘t connect to the server even though I can do everything else. Any ideas. I can get 👇🏼

Reggie get back here like this but within minutes it‘ll do the same thing. Any advice? 4mo

julesG You have similar problems with your phone and the desktop version. Did you use the desktop version from your phone? If no and you used a computer to access the Litsy website, then it might be a DNS problem. Have you tried restarting your router and or updating the router's software? 4mo

Reggie @julesG Thank you it‘s working now when I‘m not home so yeah that might be it. I‘ll give it a try when I get there. Thanks so much. 4mo

julesG @timspalding @LibraryThing any ideas what the problem might be? 4mo

julesG Hope that'll do the trick. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 4mo

Ruthiella Once again it‘s @julesG to the rescue! 👏👏👏 4mo

Bookzombie I hope this works! 🤞🏻 4mo

Reggie @julesG you were right. I just rebooted my modem and it works fine now. Thanks so much. 4mo

julesG 🥳🥳🥳 Yeah!!! Glad this helped. 4mo

Centique I had something similar with the ios app not loading - days of white screen this week - but thank goodness uninstalling and reinstalling worked for me. Cant live without Litsy! 4mo

Reggie @Centique I Just wanted to say Merry Christmas and that I got the knife bookmarks and the King book. Thank you soooo much! I hope your family has a great holiday! 4mo

Centique @Reggie yay! Im glad they got there safely. Good day yesterday, saw a gazillion family members, avoided the potential feud brewing between my in laws - survived the onslaught of the Commerce Gods! Hope you had a good day and that you get a break and some chill out time 💕 4mo

The Price of Time: The Real Story of Interest | Edward Chancellor

pick

I don‘t think I would have finished it if I hadn‘t listened to the audio version. It held my interest unevenly, but overall I liked it. It was a little painful to relive the 2008 financial crisis, but it depicts “expert economists” as inept greedy elites. #nowarbutclasswar
