Blockchain Book Club: Bitcoin Billionaires by Ben Mezrich
Join us for the next meeting of our Blockchain Book Club on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, at 6:30 PM ET!
We will be discussing Ben Mezrich's fun and readable book, Bitcoin Billionaires: A True Story of Genius, Betrayal, and Redemption.
Many of you know Mezrich's previous book, The Accidental Billionaires, about the founding of Facebook (which later became the movie The Social Network). That book centered around the court battle between Mark Zuckerberg vs. Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, who argued that Zuck stole their idea for Facebook.
In this book, the Winklevoss Twins are the good guys, taking their newfound Facebook fortune and reinvesting it into bitcoin. Mezrich, a master storyteller, makes difficult technical concepts easy to understand. (The chapter around the twins' extreme measures of secrecy to keep their bitcoin safe is especially memorable).
You can buy the book on Amazon, the audiobook on Audible, or check out the book from your local library. (Your library has Kindle and audiobook versions, too!)
