The original tweet, published on May 2, covers the book’s introduction, a bilingual audiobook edition, and notes that all proceeds from the work will go to charity. On the BSC blockchain, the meme coin “Freedom of Money” – which shares the same name as the book – saw a short-term surge in market capitalization today, peaking at $12 million before pulling back to $9.4 million. It still maintains a 25.6% gain over the past 24 hours, with on-chain trading volume hitting $2.6 million in the same period.
