The narrator is fantastic and the author wrote so much detailed information that is so confusing in a way that and also really funny a lot of times. The offer throws so much shade at these crypto influencers and fraudsters that it made me giggle out loudd multiple times.

As a crypto-skeptic, reading this book was schadenfreude, so I was almost guaranteed to like it. But Faux's humor, willingness to go the extra mile for his research, and keen attention to the human costs of crypto made it a favorite. The cast of characters is bizarre, from the obvious (Sam Bankman-Fried) to the less obvious (Razzlekhan—seriously, look her up), and Faux somehow managed to simultaneously humanize them and highlight how their eccentricities play into the crypto economy writ large. Highly recommend.
