Confessions of a Crypto Millionaire

My Unlikely Escape from Corporate America

De: Dan Conway

Narrado por: Dan Conway

"Epic. The first great book about crypto." (Andrew Keys, Managing Partner, DARMA Capital)

"A highly dramatic but lucid introduction to the murky world of
cryptocurrency." (Kirkus Reviews)

At the start of this riveting memoir, Dan Conway is a brash young executive in a vast corporation, slogging his way up the ladder while struggling with depression and an addiction he thought he had defeated long ago. As he begins to realize that the mix of nightmarish bureaucracy and his unruly “flip side” have doomed any chance of success, Dan stumbles upon cryptocurrency, tumbling down the rabbit hole to discover a strange, anarchic, but captivating world. He decides to wager everything - his savings, his marriage, his family, his future - on the fledgling crypto, Ether.

In Confessions of a Crypto Millionaire, listeners join Dan on this rollicking, harrowing, frequently hilarious journey, including his:

• Struggle to rise through the corporate ranks
• Battle with addiction and its aftermath
• Bid to reinvent himself
• Efforts to hold his marriage and family together
• And the costs - and thrills - of risking it all.

“For Conway, crypto was only partly about the money. It was also about finding liberation and salvation.” (Forbes)

Dan details in a non-technical and non-preachy way how the idea of blockchain-based decentralization has convinced a generation of dreamers, misfits, and gamblers to too often bet more than they can afford to lose. He illustrates how public blockchains like Ethereum could disrupt the nature of work itself in the coming years, upending stultifying centralized corporations in favor of “trust machines” and peer-to-peer cooperation. In the process, listeners take a thrilling ride with Conway on a turbocharged adventure through crypto, not knowing if he will make history or lose everything he holds dear.

Necessary, but vulgar?

My only negative comment about Dan's book is his use of profanity. I don't think that it's necessary. While said profanity may describe and emphasize where he's coming from, it just isn't the best way to communicate such. It's a shortcut device that may turn people away. Those who do stay are rewarded with some wisdom herein.. This is a worthwhile investment of your time, assuming that a little profanity doesn't upset you. I accepted his use of profanity at the start. If you're reading this, you have been warned.

An Insightful View of Using One's Demons for Good

Dan gives us an intriguing view of the volatility of life as a crypto believer. His battles against his inner 'flipside' were conquered with resolve to create lasting wealth for his family.

The wild west of crypto is a melting pot of forces for good and evil. Navigating the environment is stressful and time consuming, but most of all chalk full of nearly unlimited, world changing potential. Dan's story will motivate people to find their inner conviction and take immediate and disciplined action for self-improvement.

One of the best crypto books!

This book details the feelings every crypto investors will endure. From FUD to FOMO and back again. I highly recommend it.

Captivating!

This story is truly a captivating one that encompasses so much of what crypto enthusiasts such as myself believe in, but might be too afraid to say. Well said Dan. It’s always great to hear about the “underdogs” or every day people like you that make it big. To future health & prosperity for you & your family. Cheers!

Great book by all measures!

This book is well written, good storytelling and are particularly interesting for people who want a less technical approach to crypto and rather feel more inspired by taking risks, understanding more about the crypto world and understanding struggle. It gives a good image of “how it would feel” to actually take a risk and make it.
