About this listen
THE WILD INSIDE STORY OF CRYPTO'S GET-RICH-QUICK UNDERBELLY
Nat Eliason had six months to make as much money as possible before his first child was born. So, he turned to where countless others did in 2021: Crypto.
Within a year, he'd made millions writing code holding hundreds of millions of dollars of other people's money. He'd been hacked. He'd sold a picture of a monkey for two hundred grand. He'd become an influencer, speaking at conferences, and writing a weekly newsletter to tens of thousands of fans. Best of all, Nat had amassed a small fortune. But how much of this money was even real? And how many times can someone double down before they eventually lose everything?
Crypto Confidential is Nat's unfiltered insider's account of the hyperactive, hyper-speculative, hyper-addictive, nearly unregulated, completely insane world being built on the blockchain. A behind-the-scenes exposé of the bull runs and breakdowns, revealing exactly how the crypto-sausage gets made. A story of getting rich, going broke, scamming and getting scammed—and how we can all be more educated participants during the inevitable next bull run.

“A great look from the trenches to understand the good and bad of cryptocurrency from the inside out.” —Reid Hoffman, entrepreneur (PayPal, LinkedIn), partner at Greylock, and host of Masters of Scale
“The crypto industry has no shortage of scandal, and yet the allure of its potential persists for many. Nat Eliason’s book is a riveting, personal account of what happens when you get sucked in—for good and bad.
