INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER“A smart, savvy road map through the mayhem of the cryptocurrency madness.”—Ron Chernow, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Alexander HamiltonFrom “one of the crypto industry’s unlikely but most prominent critics” (Washington Post), an entertaining and well-researched account of the rise and fall of cryptocurrency.At the height of the pandemic, TV star Ben McKenzie was the perfect mark for cryptocurrency: a dad stuck at home with some cash in his pocket, worried about his family, armed with only the vague notion that people were making heaps of money on something he—despite a degree in economics—didn’t entirely understand. Lured in by grandiose, utopian promises, and sure, a little bit of FOMO, McKenzie dove deep into blockchain, Bitcoin, and the various other coins and exchanges on which they are traded. But after scratching the surface, he had to ask, “Am I crazy, or is this all a total scam?”In Easy Money, McKenzie enlists the help of journalist Jacob Silverman for an investigative adventure into crypto and its remarkable crash. Weaving together stories of average traders and victims, colorful crypto “visionaries,” Hollywood’s biggest true believers, anti-crypto whistleblowers, and government operatives, Easy Money is an on-the-ground look at a perfect storm of irresponsibility and criminal fraud. Based on original reporting across the country and abroad, including interviews with Sam Bankman-Fried, Tether cofounder Brock Pierce, Celsius’s Alex Mashinsky, and more, this is the book on cryptocurrency you’ve been waiting for.

UN RELATO AMENO Y BIEN DOCUMENTADO DEL ASCENSO Y LA CAÍDA DE LAS CRIPTOMONEDAS ESCRITO POR «UNO DE LOS CRÍTICOS MÁS IMPROBABLES, PERO MÁS DESTACADOS DEL SECTOR DE LAS CRIPTOMONEDAS» (THE WASHINGTON POST).En el apogeo de la pandemia, Ben McKenzie, la estrella de la televisión, era el emblema perfecto para las criptomonedas: un padre encerrado en casa con algo de dinero en el bolsillo, preocupado por su familia, armado sólo con la vaga noción de que la gente estaba ganando carretadas de dinero con algo que él (a pesar de tener un grado en económicas) no entendía por completo. Atraído por unas promesas grandilocuentes yutópicas y, ciertamente, por miedo a perderse algo, McKenzie se sumergió de cabeza en el blockchain (las cadenas de bloques), el bitcoin y las muchas otras monedas y mercados en los que se negocian. Pero después de profundizar en aquel mundo, tuvo que preguntarse: «¿Estoy loco o todo esto no es más que un enorme timo?».En Dinero fácil, McKenzie, con la ayuda del periodista Jacob Silverman, lleva a cabo una aventura de investigación sobre las criptomonedas y su extraordinario crac. Entrelazando historias de agentes de bolsa y víctimas, de visionarios extravagantes de las criptomonedas, de los más fervientes creyentes de Hollywood, de los críticos contrarios a las criptomonedas y de los agentes gubernamentales, Dinero fácil supone una observación sobre el terreno de una tormenta perfecta de irresponsabilidad y fraude delictivo. Basado en un reportaje dado a conocer en Estados Unidos y el extranjero, que incluye entrevistas con Sam Bankman-Fried, Brock Pierve (cofundador de Tether), con Alex Mashinsky, de Celsius, y con más personas, éste es el libro sobre las criptomonedas que habías estado esperando.

From a famous actor and an experienced journalist, a wildly entertaining debunking of cryptocurrency, one of the greatest frauds in history and on course for a spectacular crash.At the height of the pandemic, TV star Ben McKenzie (The O.C., Gotham) was the perfect mark for cryptocurrency: a dad stuck at home with some cash in his pocket, worried about his family, armed with only the vague notion that people were making heaps of money on something he—despite a degree in economics—didn’t entirely understand. Lured in by the promise of taking power from banks, possibly improving democracy, and sure, a touch of FOMO, McKenzie dove deep into blockchain, Bitcoin, and the various other coins and exchanges on which they are traded. But after scratching the surface, he had to ask, “Am I crazy, or is this all a total scam?” In Easy Money, McKenzie enlists the help of journalist Jonathan Silverman for a caper and exposé that points in shock to the climactic final days of cryptocurrency now upon us. Weaving together stories of average traders and victims, colorful crypto “visionaries,” Hollywood’s biggest true believers, anti-crypto whistleblowers, and government agents searching for solutions at the precipice of a major crash, Easy Money is an on-the-ground look at a perfect storm of 2008 Housing Bubble–level irresponsibility and criminal fraud potentially ten times more devastating than Bernie Madoff.
