The central promise of crypto endures—vast fortunes made from decentralized networks not controlled by any single entity and not yet regulated by many governments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe recent growth of crypto would have been all but impossible if not for a brilliant young man named Vitalik Buterin and his Ethereum. In this book, Laura Shin takes readers inside the founding of this novel cryptocurrency network, which enabled users to launch their own new coins, thus creating a new crypto fever. She introduces readers to larger-than-life characters like Buterin, the Web3 wunderkind; his short-lived CEO, Charles Hoskinson; and Joe Lubin, a former Goldman Sachs VP who became one of crypto’s most well-known billionaires. Sparks fly as these outsized personalities fight for their piece of a seemingly limitless new business opportunity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis fascinating book shows the crypto market for what it really a deeply personal struggle to influence the coming revolution in money, culture, and power.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-testid=\"genresList\" class=\"BookPageMetadataSection__genres\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BooksInnPk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48726467936511,"sku":null,"price":1100.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/1231\/4623\/files\/57356067.jpg?v=1781970837","url":"https:\/\/booksinnpk.com\/products\/the-cryptopians-idealism-greed-lies-and-the-making-of-the-first-big-cryptocurrency-craze-laura-shin","provider":"Booksinnpk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
