@agreenberg, I am loving the book! Having been involved in Bitcoin (and others) since 2015, as an investor and miner, the stories are quite compelling. The writing is very good too! Hoping to finish it today in between cooking and the Cowboy game. 🙂

@agreenberg I finished reading the book this Saturday and I am still blown away.
2 observations stick with me:
- businesses can be highly successful (though illegal) even though 100% of the workforce is working remotely. Bosses who claim otherwise solve for a different problem.
- follow the money has its limits when it comes to online hate crimes. That comes, unfortunately to often "for free".

@agreenberg Really enjoyed the book. Very well done. I know the tech pretty well, and had heard of many of the players, but had no idea about the drama, challenges, creativity in the many stories you captured.
