Number Go Up - Zeke Faux
#155 - The general consensus for Zeke’s book is that is that it’s the better half of Michael Lewis’s ‘Going Infinite’.
‘Number Go Up’ documents, first hand, from the Bahamas to Cambodia to El Salvador to the halls of power of US, the wild mania of crypto and the insanely eclectic, deranged and interesting characters that colour in those lines.
Zeke opens up unlike he has for a podcast before.
His answer to the role of serendipity in his life at the end is beautiful, his reflections of what is required for good journalism is amazing, and his documentation of crypto’s wild ride and its consequences is perfect.
There is plenty for everyone is this.
