About this listen
Ben Mezrich's 2009 best seller The Accidental Billionaires is the definitive account of Facebook's founding - and the basis for the Academy Award-winning film The Social Network. Two of the story's iconic characters are Harvard students Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss: identical twins, Olympic rowers, and legal foils to Mark Zuckerberg. Bitcoin Billionaires is the story of the brothers' redemption and revenge in the wake of their epic legal battle with Facebook - and the first great audiobook from the world of bitcoin.
Planning to start careers as venture capitalists, the brothers quickly discover that no one will take their money for fear of alienating Zuckerberg. While nursing their wounds in Ibiza, they accidentally run into a shady character who tells them about a brand-new idea: cryptocurrency.
Immersing themselves in what is then an obscure and sometimes sinister world, they begin to realise 'crypto' is, in their own words, 'either the next big thing or total bulls--t.' There's nothing left to do but make a bet.
From the Silk Road to the halls of the Securities and Exchange Commission to the Facebook boardroom, Bitcoin Billionaires will take us on a wild and surprising ride while illuminating a tantalising economic future. On November 26th, 2017, the Winklevoss brothers became the first bitcoin billionaires. Here's the story of how they got there - as only Ben Mezrich could tell it.

Another Great Ben Mezrich Read
Loved this story although got a little lost through the middle with some of the characters. Have always been interested in the Bitcoin story and while providing a strong story line learnt a lot as well. Certainly a story of redemption for the Winklevoss brothers.

A fascinating story that will help you understand why many people are big believers in bitcoin
This is an inspiring story about the Winklevoss twins, who quickly understood the value of what Satoshi Nakamoto invented in 2008 and bet big that it would change the world. It turns out they were right, and bitcoin is just getting started. The Winklevoss twins have now been involved in two revolutions that have changed the world... Facebook (the social network) and Bitcoin (the internet of money).

Interesting sequel to The Social Network
Interesting at the start to hear what happened to the Winklevous twins after Facebook. It appeared although they have strong morals and are gentlemen of Havard, they continued to strike bad luck. Although it was interesting at the start it was long and dragged on a bit. Not terrible but maybe skip until the end once you start tunning out.
