Ashlee Vance, the author of "Elon Musk," commends Nick Bilton's work, stating, "The author of the book, Nick Bilton, has undeniably crafted a modern real-life crime thriller. While the narrative maintains an incredible pace, it is enriched with meticulous reporting and intricate details. It vividly illustrates the consequences when an ambitious individual or genius harnesses blockchain technology to its fullest potential – a complex interplay between good and evil."
