Inside Crypto's Wild Rise and Staggering Fall
Recommendation
As trillions in government stimulus washed through the US economy in 2020 and 2021, the value of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies soared. Then, digital images known as NFTs rocketed in value – drawings of cartoon monkeys fetched more than $1 million. In this entertaining book, journalist Zeke Faux tells the tale of his tour of the crypto craze: He went to Miami for bitcoin confabs and traveled to the Bahamas to interview one-time crypto-world hero Sam Bankman-Fried. Faux even dropped $20,000 on a Bored Ape NFT. All told, his experience was as outlandish as you’d imagine.
