Number go up : inside crypto's wild rise and staggering fall
Faux, Zeke2023
Book
After years on the financial world's margins, crypto went mainstream in early 2021. It seemed like everyone knew someone who was bragging about their returns from Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin and other bizarrely named "digital assets." FOMO spread: Was crypto the new path to financial freedom? It didn't seem to matter that hardly anyone knew how it worked. The longer prices went up and up, the harder it was to resist. To borrow a phrase from crypto parlance, the only thing that mattered was 'number go up'. Observing this mania, Zeke Faux sets out on a quest to pull back the curtain on the wizards behind this new financial machinery.
