The most obvious thing seems to be, those who can ALREADY draw a bit find the book to be not helpful, very basic, and somewhat misleading... People who cannot draw at all seem to get a lot out of the book however... I think it comes down to

The key here is the promise to deliver bitcoins at a certain price at a certain date. If they indeed promised to deliver on a certain date then clearly they are in violation... not sure if they really did make that promise though

Its not ridiculous at all. With that much spread and at prices as high and fluctuating as much as they currently are you cannot expect to take 10 DAYS for a transaction of this nature. Honestly, looking at this from the outside what is the
