Number Go Up: Inside Crypto's Wild Rise and Staggering Fall
Investigative reporter Zeke Faux enters the strange, lavish, and often deceptive world of cryptocurrency during its spectacular boom and collapse. His journey moves from stablecoin operators and offshore exchanges to scammers, true believers, exploited workers, and the orbit of Sam Bankman-Fried. Combining financial investigation with darkly comic travel reporting, Faux tests the industry's promises against where the money actually goes. The book explains how speculation, online hype, regulatory gaps, and financial engineering created fortunes while exposing ordinary participants to fraud, coercion, and staggering losses.
