Description

The crypto delusion: a story of epic proportions. In 2021, cryptocurrency went mainstream, with giant investment funds and celebrities like Tom Brady endorsing it. But behind the frenzy, investigative reporter Zeke Faux had a nagging question: was it all just a confidence game? Faux's investigation led him to a cast of characters, including a young entrepreneur named Sam Bankman-Fried, who would stop at nothing to make his fortune. As Faux delves deeper into the world of cryptocurrency, he uncovers a complex web of utopians, scammers, and overnight billionaires. From the luxury resorts of the Bahamas to the dark corners of the internet, Faux's quest for truth takes him on a two-year, globe-spanning journey. With his characteristic tenacity, he follows the trail of clues, exposing the wizards behind the world's new financial machinery. The result is a masterful account of the crypto delusion, one that sheds light on the dark underbelly of this once-thriving industry. With its cast of characters, twists and turns, and a healthy dose of skepticism, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone looking to understand the world of cryptocurrency.
