Number Go Up: Inside Crypto's Wild Rise and Staggering Fall

This book doesn't go deep into how crypto works, but rather it tells you enough to have some idea of what's happening on a technical level. What the book really looks at carefully is the hubris of it all, the various characters and chaos that surrounded the crypto boom of the last few years. It is an engaging story, and it doesn't have a super satisfying ending (not the author's fault).
