His first book, Consensusland, explores the social, cultural, and financial challenges of a fictional country that runs on cryptocurrency.
His second book, Bitcoin or Bust: Wall Street’s Entry Into Cryptocurrency, hit #2 on Amazon’s list of short financial reads and ranks #50 on BookAuthority’s top cryptocurrency books of all time. It offers a candid and cautionary view of how traditional finance will change cryptocurrency (and how cryptocurrency will change traditional finance).
His third book, From Bust to Boom: Ten Months Through the Eyes of a Bitcoiner, chronicles his observations and commentary on bitcoin’s March 2020 crash and subsequent 1,000% rise.
