Bitcoin Billionaires takes us right inside the Winklevoss
brothers' wild chase for redemption through a global maze of big
money and backroom deals. Ben Mezrich delivers a tense,
propulsive story of ambition and success * Matthew Pearl, New
York Times bestselling author of The Dante Club and The Dante
Chamber *
The book is written with a slick beauty . . . As an introduction to
the rise of cryptocurrencies and the modern tech world generally,
it is as painless and novelistic as could be imagined * Guardian
*
A page turner. Sensibly, Mezrich opts to focus on action. He makes
sense of bleeding-but-baffling-edge technology by following the
human accessories: early-adopters, a rat pack of weed-smoking
coders, dark-web pirates, libertarian philosophers and boy-wonder
investors who wouldn't feel out of place in a Thomas Pynchon novel
- and like Pynchon, the thrill is in a wild chase for answers to a
mystery that the layperson can only grope at * Evening Standard
*
An easily digested cryptocurrency primer * Financial Times *
Gripping . . . Ben Mezrich is a gifted writer who could make a PTA
meeting dramatic and exciting * The Times *
