Summary
"Bitcoin Billionaires is the story of Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss's unexpected second act in the wake of their epic legal battle with Facebook. Planning to start careers as venture capitalists, the brothers quickly discover that they are pariahs in Silicon Valley; no one will take their money, for fear of angering Zuckerberg. While nursing their wounds, they run into an eccentric character in Ibiza who tells them about a brand-new idea: cryptocurrency. Immersing themselves in what was then an obscure and sometimes sinister world, they begin to realize "crypto" is, in their own words, "either the next big thing or total bulls*#t." There's nothing left to do but make a bet."--
