1. Captures a moment in time
   Great read, would recommend. Does a excellent job of capturing a crazy moment in time through a personal story. Well written and, dare I say it, educational, for those of us who know little to nothing about the crypto/NFT world.

2. Nonfiction, but reads like a novel
   This book was suggested to me by a friend. I like nonfiction, but have had little interest in Crypto. I was sucked in from the first chapter as Nat’s story is dramatic. The intervening chapters giving details about how the world of Crypto works were clear and added to the suspense of the story as I realized how this information reflected the potential difficulty of Nat’s position. The ethics of Crypto trading is also fascinating. He brings it all to a satisfying conclusion. His skill at storytelling is wonderful. Will look for his future books. Recommended!

3. Real adventure
   The book reads like a fun travel book but it’s about his advey with a bleeding/leading edge technology. An inside view and romp! Easy and quick read while being informed. Personable and informational!

4. Some of the best nonfiction I’ve ever read 🤯
   Was fortunate enough to read a pre-release copy. I felt like I knew about the next mega-hit before it went mainstream…Overall, I loved it. As a participant in the mania (employed at major Bitcoin companies during the same time period as the book covers), I thoroughly enjoyed reliving those chaotic ups and downs of the 2021 hype cycle.I had many many, “I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when that happened” moments while reading. Very cool to have a behind the scenes into someone who was playing the same games, but taking MUCH larger swings than I was at the time.Well written, and hopefully indicative of more long-form to come from Nat.Will definitely be recommending to friends and family.I’ve read Nat’s blog for years and this book exceeded all expectations!

5. Fast paced and highly engaging
   Nat Eliason details his tumultuous baptism-by-fire into the depths of crypto. From zero experience in blockchain to a Solidity engineer with over $100 Million in assets in under 6 months.Crypto Confidential is as entertaining as it is informative.It reads a cross between The Big Short and Red Notice, with helpful two page explanations interspersed between each chapter.

6. An amazing story for everyone
   Crypto Confidential instantly captivated me, making it impossible to put down. The narrative was so engaging and accessible that even those unfamiliar with cryptocurrency will find themselves immersed in the story. The author skillfully explains complex concepts in a way that’s easy to understand, turning what could be a dry subject into a thrilling read. It’s a must-read for anyone looking for an exciting and educational dive into the world of crypto or just looking for a page turner!

7. Thrilling to the end!!! Crypto not your thing? You still want to read this book
   The author takes you on an exciting real life adventure of his deep dive into the world decentralized financing and crypto-currencies where fortunes have been amassed and lost. In addition to the sheer thrill of the story, the author’s journey imparts valuable, easy to digest knowledge for navigating the new digital finance world that appears to be here to stay – blockchain, Ethereum, Defi, NFTs, stable coins, tokens, farming, wallets, private keys, seed phrase, solidity, and more. I recommend you buy the audio version to just enjoy the exciting story behind the lessons learned (read by the author), and buy the book to have a useful reference guide to the new language of digital finance. So fun!

If you had or have any interest in crypto or stories of fortunes being made (and lost) I highly recommend this book.I came across the author years back in a guest post talking about online marketing and have followed him since and trust me when I say when he gets into something he dives deep into it’s marianas trench and crypto was no exception.An entertaining and educational read.Highly recommend.
