For years Dan Conway shuffled his way up the corporate ladder. He made a good salary—just enough to support his family and save for a distant retirement. Facing career turmoil, bills and an existential crisis, he turned to the curious world of cryptocurrency as a Hail Mary. He literally bet his house, his career and his reputation on Ethereum, a corporate-killer blockchain that promised to upend modern work as we know it. After nearly going to zero, ether skyrocketed three thousand percent, proving the demand for a new way to work and making financial history.

In Confessions of a Crypto Millionaire, readers embark on the rollicking and often hilarious journey of Conway’s life and the lessons he learned the hard way, including: his struggle to rise through the corporate ranks; addiction and its aftermath; the difficulty of reinventing oneself; and how he ultimately achieved financial independence.

Conway explains in a non-technical and non-preachy way how decentralized work on a public blockchain like Ethereum could one day provide an alternative to the modern corporation. In the process, readers also learn what it feels like to ride a financial rocket ship, not knowing if you will make history or lose everything.
