Couldn't stop reading this account of the author's journey in the wild wild world of 'Crypto' ! It read like a good detective novel,and was hilariously maddening when you remember that so many innocent people lost incredible amounts of their hard earned money on something which may never ever pan out.Reminded me of the Theranos account written by John Carreyrou.
The fact that it has led to human trafficking tells you all that is to know about the lure of lucre that mankind has.

Zeke Faux's Number Go Up is a funny and informative deep-dive into Tether and the wider world of cryptocurrency. It's perfect for the crypto skeptic still not exactly sure why people are putting so much money into NFTs. Faux spells out how the whole world of crypto works while remaining fairly flabbergasted by it all - and it's particularly timely to read as the SBF trial gets underway. The book ends (SPOILER ALERT) with a juicy interview of Sam Bankman-Fried post-fall. All in all, highly recommend for the crypto curious. You'll be better prepared for dinner parties in Brooklyn after this read.
