I picked up Bitcoin Billionaires by Ben Mezrich on sale in Kuala Lumpur for my long flight. Honestly, I don't admire the Winklevosses or Zuckerberg. So, what's the point of reading this book? To learn from the mistakes of rich daddy boys, in case you find yourself in a similar situation? And who could find themselves in such a situation? It's funny how they're trying to make heroes out of parasites This book is just as garbage as The Antisocial network
