Critics Review
Bitcoin Billionaires takes us right inside the Winklevoss brothers’ wild chase for redemption through a global maze of big money and backroom deals. Ben Mezrich delivers a tense, propulsive story of ambition and success - Matthew Pearl, New York Times bestselling author of The Dante Club and The Dante Chamber
