The central promise of crypto endures—vast fortunes made from decentralized networks not controlled by any single entity and not yet regulated by many governments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe recent growth of crypto would have been all but impossible if not for a brilliant young man named Vitalik Buterin and his creation: Ethereum. In this book, Laura Shin takes readers inside the founding of this novel cryptocurrency network, which enabled users to launch their own new coins, thus creating a new crypto fever. She introduces readers to larger-than-life characters like Buterin, the Web3 wunderkind; his short-lived CEO, Charles Hoskinson; and Joe Lubin, a former Goldman Sachs VP who became one of crypto’s most well-known billionaires. Sparks fly as these outsized personalities fight for their piece of a seemingly limitless new business opportunity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fascinating book shows the crypto market for what it really is: a deeply personal struggle to influence the coming revolution in money, culture, and power.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Laura Shin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44428893454584,"sku":"9781541763029","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/4897\/5608\/files\/9781541763029.jpg?v=1707344337","url":"https:\/\/ellector.com.pa\/es\/products\/cryptopians","provider":"Librerías El Lector Panamá","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
