Since 2008, Bitcoin and cryptocurrency has often been touted as better than money: digital tokens of exchange that can pass from peer to peer without financial institutions taking out a big chunk of your profit. And speaking of profit… the returns have been dizzying. (But so have the falls.)
Here, former OC star Ben McKenzie brushes off his economics qualifications and digs into the cryptocurrency conundrum. If Bitcoin is truly all about transparency, how come no one can explain how it works? Channelling his inner Michael Moore and playing the celeb card, McKenzie interviews industry leaders like Sam Bankman-Fried and Alex Mashinsky to get a handle on what is beginning to seem like the greatest pyramid scheme of them all…
Funny, tragic, and entertaining, this is the wake-up call we need.
