I think people reacted this way, because perhaps your suggestion to OP was not appropriate for this thread. But I do remember reading your comment on the books discussion page few days ago. Actually, I have been thinking along the lines of what your bio description says. And I even bought a book, from the ones you suggested (the history of hedge funds, one). So thanks! I am interested in that area, but constrained for bandwidth. As I also want to pursue cryptocurrency and/or ML. So not easy to choose, as realistically will have bandwidth to do only one of the three areas. And that too ensuring current project goes in a near 'self driven' way. Nothing is easy :)
