THE WILD INSIDE STORY OF CRYPTO'S GET-RICH-QUICK UNDERBELLY

Nat Eliason had six months to make as much money as possible before his first child was born. So, he turned to where countless others did in 2021: Crypto.

Within a year, he'd made millions writing code holding hundreds of millions of dollars of other people's money. He'd been hacked. He'd sold a picture of a monkey for two hundred grand. He'd become an influencer, speaking at conferences, and writing a weekly newsletter to tens of thousands of fans. Best of all, Nat had amassed a small fortune. But how much of this money was even real? And how many times can someone double down before they eventually lose everything?

Crypto Confidential is Nat's unfiltered, insider's account of the hyperactive, hyper-speculative, hyper-addictive, nearly unregulated, completely insane world being built on the blockchain. A behind-the-scenes exposé of the bull runs and breakdowns, revealing exactly how the crypto-sausage gets made. A story of getting rich, going broke, scamming and getting scammed— and how we can all be more educated participants during the inevitable next bull run.

Engaging story I finished in a day

Extremely well written. Brought me back to last cycle’s mania. Wonderful way to learn about crypto, and also great insight into what Nat learned from the experience. Highly recommend!

Couldn't put it down!

Loved the personal experience, exciting story and interesting to learn more about the crypto market.

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll wish for another bull run

As a normie who mostly watched the crypto craze from the outside (and maybe provided a little charitable exit liquidity for other investors) it was thrilling to get to ride the wave from Nat’s perspective. I didn't get this book to learn about crypto but I learned a ton and the narrative kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. More than once I found my blood pressure rising and my palms getting sweaty as I got sucked into the storyline. I will definitely be recommending this to a all my friends who had brushes with crypto.

An amazing and very insightful listen

A great gateway and very insightful listen about the crypto space, I never finished a book so fast before.

What a book!

This book is such a fun story and recap of the crypto markets over the past couple of years. I couldn’t put it down. What a great story!
