The Cryptopians

Idealism, Greed, Lies, and the Making of the First Big Cryptocurrency Craze

Laura Shin

The Cryptopians delves into the story of idealists, technologists, and opportunists fighting to bring cryptocurrency to the masses. The book focuses on the founding of Ethereum by Vitalik Buterin and the subsequent crypto fever it created. It introduces readers to larger-than-life characters such as Buterin, Charles Hoskinson, and Joe Lubin, highlighting the personal and professional conflicts that shaped the early days of Ethereum. The narrative explores the booms, busts, and internecine wars within the crypto world, revealing it as a deeply personal struggle to influence the coming revolution in money, culture, and power.

Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order

Why Nations Succeed and Fail

Ray Dalio

In this book, Ray Dalio analyzes the most turbulent economic and political periods in history to identify repeating patterns and cause/effect relationships that drive changes in wealth and power. He studies the rise and fall of major empires, including the Dutch, British, American, Chinese, Soviet, and Japanese empires, highlighting the 'Big Cycle' that has driven their successes and failures. Dalio uses these historical insights to offer practical principles for understanding the current world order and preparing for the future. The book is organized into 14 chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of the changing world order, and it weaves together history and economics using real-world examples.
