This is the inside story of the first great crypto bubble. Billions of people have invested in crypto, hoping to get rich. But is it all about profit - or could this technology make the world a better place? That was the challenge Joe Lubin, an eccentric billionaire worth more than $30B at peak, posed to Faisal Khan across a cafe table in early 2017. This real life story describes Khan's journey around the globe, pitching board rooms in New York and celebrities in Los Angeles about the magic of the blockchain. Meanwhile Lubin's experimental company soon veered off the rails as it fell victim to anarchy and greed. Learn how to make millions off crypto tokens, impress a venture capitalist with just a tweet, and convince a government to buy vaporware. Through ConsenSys' rise, Khan's story probes the zeitgeist of a time when young men with too much money and too much power worked to create a future they hadn't fully thought through."
