From Ben Mezrich, the New York Times bestselling author, comes Bitcoin Billionaires - the thrilling story of brothers Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss and their big bet on cryptocurrency and its astounding acceptance.

Bitcoin Billionaires is the story of the redemption and revenge of the brothers following their epic legal battle with Facebook - and the first great book from the world of bitcoin. Planning to start careers as entrepreneurs, the brothers quickly discover that no one will accept their money, fearing to upset Zuckerberg.

After nursing their wounds in Ibiza, they accidentally encounter a shady character who tells them about a new idea: cryptocurrency. Immersed in a world that was then obscure and sometimes dangerous, they begin to realize that "crypto" is, in their own words, "either the next big thing or total nonsense." There's nothing else to do but to place their bet.

From Silk Road to the corridors of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the boardroom of Facebook, Bitcoin Billionaires takes us on a wild and stunning ride while illuminating a tantalizing economic future. On November 26, 2017, the Winklevoss brothers became the first bitcoin billionaires. Here is the story of how they got there - as only Ben Mezrich could tell it.
