I’m only halfway through this book, and the author has already gone from innumerable parties of insufferable “crypto bro’s” and NFT suckers in the US and Carribean (the funny parts), to the edge of Cambodian forced-labor complexes where victims of human trafficking are forced to lure marks into sending them bitcoin—so far the only successful real-world application for cryptocurrency (the unfunny parts)— to El Salvador, where almost no one will accept Bitcoin, despite the president’s naming it an official currency. I got the Kindle edition after watching this interview. The book is just as entertaining, if not more. Highly recommended.

I went heavy into Kramkoin and Subteens NFTs. I don’t want to talk about it.
Riveting.
I have Salvadoran co-workers and we watched with great curiosity as the country leaned into Bitcoin.
Whoops.
Nice callback to Razzlekhan and Axie Infinity heists. A ponzi scheme can pretty much be anything, no matter how transparently dumb.
Zeke Faux is apparently this reporter’s real name, go figure.
He bears a resemblance to national treasure H Jon Benjamin.
Also, you’ll be pleased to know that Jason Statham will personally be taking out all of the scam farms.
