Yes. It’s what I’d recommend to someone who’s never studied number theory before. There’s a solutions manual which is also quite helpful and makes the book more useful. Also love the biographies interspersed in the textbook.
Had I had that exposure, I’d have gone straight to Abstract Algebra and then full in some of the less intuitive aspects of Number theory like primitive roots and quadratic residues

Another book recommendation on top of Paar/Pelzl - is “Elementary Number Theory” by Rosen.
This is what @npub12em…y99g read immediately after Understanding Cryptography to begin his descent into the rabbit hole.
There’s a section on ZKPs at around Chaoter 10 or 11 to entice one to work their way through it.

Some great AI coming from @RockPaperBitcoin episodes:
Bitcoin Standard: A Mindset Shift and a Journey to Sovereignty:
Living on a Bitcoin Standard isn't just about using a different currency, it's a fundamental shift in how you view money, work, and your place in the world. Here’s a nuanced look at this lifestyle:
1. Bitcoin as a Vehicle for Personal Sovereignty:
●Bitcoin isn't about getting rich in fiat terms – it's about opting out of a system designed to benefit the few at the expense of the many. The sources repeatedly emphasize the negative expected value of chasing fiat gains, particularly within a framework of debasement, information asymmetry, and manipulative forces.
●Embrace self-custody to a "gulp limit." This is the amount of Bitcoin you feel confident managing yourself, without relying on third parties. It's not just about security, but a psychological step towards owning your financial destiny. The sources suggest this act, literally "storing Bitcoin in your head," is where the real power of the technology takes hold.
2. Reframing Value and Work:
●Develop skills that translate to Bitcoin income. This could mean finding employment with companies that pay in Bitcoin or directly utilizing your skills in a way that generates Bitcoin revenue. The sources highlight the potential for contract-based work and value-for-value models as viable alternatives to traditional salary structures within a Bitcoin Standard.
●Be honest about your desire to accumulate Bitcoin, even with employers. The sources present a compelling anecdote of a job applicant who transparently shared his goal of stacking sats, leading to a successful outcome. This approach challenges the ingrained fiat practice of masking your true motivations and instead embraces the directness encouraged by Bitcoin's transparent nature.
3. Accepting the Long Game and Building for the Future:
●Don't be distracted by short-term fiat price volatility. Focus on Bitcoin’s long-term potential as a fundamentally sound form of money. The sources liken this perspective to the biological process of hibernation, waiting out instability until conditions are favorable for growth. This requires trusting in Bitcoin's resilient nature, even when faced with uncertainty.
●Recognize that mass adoption is a gradual process, and a Bitcoin Standard won't materialize overnight. The sources use the analogy of Bitcoin as an “island” emerging from a vast ocean of fiat. As more individuals reach this "island" and communities begin to form, new challenges and opportunities will arise. This requires flexibility, a willingness to adapt, and most importantly, connecting with a tribe that shares your values.
4. Navigating Influence and Recognizing Red Flags:
●Be critical of even the most prominent figures in the Bitcoin space. Just because someone holds a lot of Bitcoin doesn’t mean they fully grasp its implications or have your best interests at heart. The sources call out Michael Saylor’s recent comments regarding the need for Bitcoin to generate yield as a fundamental misunderstanding of the technology’s true value proposition.
●Understand that large institutions entering the Bitcoin space may have ulterior motives. While their participation can be beneficial, it’s crucial to remember they are accustomed to operating within a framework of control and leverage. Be cautious of schemes that promise easy fiat returns or rely heavily on centralized custody solutions.
In essence, living on a Bitcoin Standard is an ongoing journey that requires both a mindset shift and a willingness to actively participate in building a new financial paradigm. It's about embracing personal responsibility, seeking truth, and connecting with a community that shares your vision for a more equitable and decentralized future.

Ok - that makes sense. It’s a lot of work to aeropress and while I’ve gotten great coffee out of one, I’ve never had a good shot of espresso from one - to the point where I consider it false advertising - but then I realize that it’s a frisbee company that makes it.
So I can see how it makes sense to dress it up in a way to make it enjoyable.

Please explain this sorcery.
Is the idea to enjoy a tonic but add a boost of wakefulness?
Or is it to ruin a beautifully pulled shot of God’s nectar?

I’m clicking on “edit event” over and over and nothing is happening! I think it’s broken.
