I'm currently writing a book about the What? How? & Why? of Bitcoin.

For me, the gain and street cred I will receive from having completed a book is invaluable to me personally.

I'm writing this book in Dutch, so I really don't expect any sales. Okay, maybe a few if there was another bull-run and frenzy, but that's not why I am writing this book.

So where is that "Street cred" going to come from when no one knows you have a book because no one bought it?

I suppose it is constituted by the same substance found in books that people buy, never read, and proudly display nevertheless.
