«Bitcoin Billionaires» is the non-fiction essay by Ben Mezrich, published by Abacus in 2020 (288 pages, in English).
Account of the Winklevoss brothers Tyler and Cameron's leap into the world of cryptocurrencies after their well-known legal battle with Mark Zuckerberg over the origin of Facebook. Mezrich reconstructs how they discovered bitcoin, delved into an environment then marginal and often murky, and turned their risky bet into a fortune. The narrative alternates the rise of the cryptocurrency with the twins' attempts to reinvent themselves as investors, on a journey from Ibiza to the stock exchange and the corridors of the SEC.
Paperback book of 288 pages. Original subtitle: A True Story of Genius, Betrayal and Redemption. Belongs to the author's output on technology and great fortunes, after The Accidental Billionaires.
