Confessions of a Crypto Millionaire by Dan Conway AZW3

"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, readers 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.
