Ben Mezrich has sold over 10 million copies of his books.And, by the way, that's not even the impressive part. The impressive part is that he sells EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS BOOKS as a movie or TV show; in fact, if Hollywood isn't interested in the treatment, he doesn't even write the book.Mezrich has gotten into this position because of a chance encounter with some MIT students, which led to his writing Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions, which led to Kevin Spacey snapping up the film rights before the book was even out, which led to the book spending over 60 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.Then there was his book, The Accidental Billionaires, which David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin jumped on as Mezrich was writing the book and which, of course turned into the multi award-nominated movie The Social Network. (Mezrich is the only non-fiction author to have two adaptations open at #1 at the box office.)He's written numerous other books, including Bitcoin Billionaires and The Antisocial Network and is also a consulting producer on Billions. Oh, and his most recent book, The Midnight Ride, has an NFT component that already has over 3500 owners.So how does this happen? How does a former struggling novelist become Hollywood's go to guy pursued by designers who want to dress him for his book tours? And what is the secret to finding the sort of story that makes Hollywood salivate? It's all in this episode.GET MORE INFO ON THE POD AND OTHER STUFF BY GOING TO WWW.ONGOODAUTHORITYPOD.COM

In the early 2000s, bestselling author Ben Mezrich wrote "Bringing Down the House," which was turned into the movie "21." Seven years later he wrote "The Accidental Billionaires," which was brought to the big screen as "The Social Network." The Accidental Billionaires introduced the world to the Winklevoss Twins, who became the protagonists of Ben's 21st book: Bitcoin Billionaires. The book also launched Ben head first into the crypto and NFT space. -- Our "OG Fan" NFT is here!

gmIn this episode, I sat down with the 25x author Ben Mezrich! He's most famous for his book "Bringing Down the House" and has gone on to write others such as "The Accidental Billionaire," "Bitcoin Billionaires," "The Anti-Social Network," and many more.I had a great time chatting with Ben about his journey into his journey as a writer, some pivotal moments in history where technology changed the world, and of course, his web3 project. The Ben Mezrich Project is a series of three NFT drops, granting you access to a screenplay token at the end. While this is happening, Ben is hard at work writing a screenplay for an upcoming film. Holders of the screenplay token will give holders prorated rights to 50% of any revenue from the monetization of the screenplay.The longer-term vision for the Bens project is to create a launchpad for authors who need extra support to get their works published, whether that be financial, mentorship, or both; this is Ben's 20-40 year plan.Sit back, grab some coffee, and enjoy.Boonafide Socials:Twitter: https://twitter.com/BoonaETHPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/BoonafidexpWebsite: https://www.boonafide.comBen links:Website: benmezrich.com NFT Website: https://www.benmezrichnft.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/benmezrich Non-Refungible Network:Website: https://nonrefungible.tech/Twitter: https://twitter.com/Non_RefungibleSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/Boonafidexp)

Before you get involved in Bitcoin, what should you know about it? Well, you're about to find out in today's episode. We're temporarily diverting away from property because Bitcoin is such a hot topic right now. But what's more concerning, is that people are wanting to jump on the Bitcoin bandwagon without understanding what it is or how it works. Rob & Rob love taking on complex subjects and breaking them down into understandable, digestible bits of information. So, if you're clueless about Bitcoin, this is the episode for you. In the news This week's news story had to be none other than Nationwide's House Price Index which shows annual house price growth has hit 10.9%. Average property prices have also gone up from £238,000 to £242,000 in a month! The report puts this down to people still wanting to move out of city areas and gain more space, which we've seen happening throughout the pandemic. So, for anyone who's got a property portfolio under their belt, they're likely to be pretty happy right now. Hub Extra For this week's Hub Extra, we're giving you a trio of books for you to get stuck into. The first one is an easy read and it's ‘Bitcoin Billionaires' by Ben Mezrich. We've actually recommended this book before but it's a brilliant story about the origins of Bitcoin. The second and third books are for you to continue your Bitcoin learning. We've got ‘Inventing Bitcoin' by Yan Pritzker and ‘The Bitcoin Standard' by Saifedean Ammous. These two books aren't the most entertaining books to read but if you're wanting to understand the technical side of Bitcoin then they do just that. We recommend listening to them on Audible and you'll have them boxed off in a few hours. Let's get social We'd love to hear what you think of this week's Property Podcast over on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

Going through some recently finished and in-progress books. Just writing out a list of different books I’ve been reading with some thoughts. Recently finished Bitcoin Billionaires by Ben Mezrich — I got more interested in crypto/blockchain through NBA Top Shot and the NFT boom. I had some Bitcoin already, but NFT popularity made me realize how little I know about how it all works. This ended up only having high level explanations of Bitcoin. But the whole story of the Winklevoss twins’ second act was fascinating. Almanack of Naval Ravikant by Eric Jorgenson — Great read the week leading up to getting married. There’s plenty about getting wealthy, but the happiness chapters were more timely. The audiobook was my companion on a couple long walks in the city. If you want to mainline some of Naval’s thinking, then this is the way to go. In-progress Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa — Still working on this. I started it in December and just crossed the halfway mark. About 450 pages to go. Somewhat slow going but getting very interesting now. Good reminder to lean into things I might not enjoy but that I’ll learn a lot from. The Infinite Machine by Camila Russo — Continuing to learn mode about crypto/blockchain technology. This book is about the history of Ethereum, which is the main coin involved in the recent NFT a boom. The only history I know of Ethereum is that I wish I had bought some earlier. Just started this but one takeaway is that Vitalik Buterin started by writing for Bitcoin Magazine before building Ethereum. Working Backwards by Colin Bryar and Bill Carr — Mostly here to learn about Amazon’s use of narrative writing instead of PowerPoints. (After seeing @TrungTPhan mention it in this thread.) The Energy Paradox by Steven R. Gundry — I want to get my energy back. Basically: I can rarely stay awake through a full movie after a workday. And when I’m up I just don’t have any, as the book puts it, get-up-and-go (GUAG). I’ve felt better in the past and would love to get back to that. Fast Forward: Hollywood, the Japanese, and the Onslaught of the VCR by James Lardner — Combining some learnings from last year’s books (1) I enjoy reading older books about some recent technology (like Michael Lewis’s Next) because it’s fun to re-live that time without it being filtered through a modern lens and (2) I enjoy reading about Hollywood/filmmaking (one of my favorites from last year was Robert Rodiguez’s Rebel Without a Crew). Next up (maybe… there’s a ton I want to read) Daemon by Daniel Suarez — Continuing the pattern of learning about crypto, I saw this book recommended somewhere. I really should’ve written down where I saw the recommendation because I’ve completely forgot now. Anyway, this is pretty much combining three thoughts: (1) I want to learn more about crypto/blockchain technology and (2) Musashi reminds me that I should read more fiction and (3) I admire Tiago Forte’s thinking and he wrote about the value of reading science fiction. Tiago: “I started reading sci-fi to pass the time. I had good memories of reading Jurassic Park as a kid. I continued because I noticed that it gave me something: a stronger imagination, a disrespect for the merely possible.” Two Meals a Day by Mark Sisson — Trying to get my health back in order (I wrote a long post here). I have more information than I need for my goals but reading books does help keep motivation up. And I can try to share good bits and pieces to better frame my own learning and writing. Soundtracks by Jon Acuff — I enjoyed all his previous books. I’m guessing I’ll like this one as well. I tend to overthink so this seemed like something that might help me either (1) stop overthinking or (2) start overthinking in a more useful way.
Today, I am doing a special session. It’s a review of a book called Bitcoin Billionaires by Ben Mezrich. Accessibility: ALearning: AEnjoyment: A OverviewBitcoin Billionaires is one of those books you could see being made into a movie. It’s not that far fetched given that the author, Ben Mezrich, also wrote the award winning “Social Network”, the movie about Facebook. In some ways, it feels like Bitcoin Billionaires continues that story except the focus is now shifted to the Winklevoss Twins. Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss became famous as the tall, Harvard-educated, Olympic rowers who alleged that Mark Zuckerburg ripped them off while founding Facebook. The author weaves the bold story of how the twins became among the first bitcoin billionaires along with a colorful dose of bitcoin history. The Winklevoss twins founded Gemini, one of the largest US based crypto-exchanges and Nifty Gateway, a leading NFT marketplace. The book lays bare the tension between ideologues like Ronald Ver and businessmen like Tyler and Cameron. Additionally, key developments like the Mt Gox hack and the Cyprus banking crisis also feature in the story. Mezrich does a great job making bitcoin history fun to learn. Key storiesStoring bitcoin in banks: The twins have taken extreme measures to safeguard the private keys to their mountain of bitcoin. The private keys - a long alphanumeric code - are split up and stored in bank safety deposit boxes across the country. Funny how banks are keeping crypto safe probably without them even knowing it. 2013 Cyprus banking crisis: What would you do if you woke one morning and 10+% of your life savings were gone? This was the reality for bank account holders in Cyprus in 2013. The banks were too big to fail but the government didn’t have the funds to bail them out. As a last resort, the government dipped into all bank accounts while everyone slept. This set off a bitcoin price rally as consumers lost confidence in fiat currency. Flashforward to 2021, the US has printed unprecedented trillions of dollars related to COVID. There are rising concerns about the US government spending and the dollar’s value. Part of the current bitcoin bull run is motivated by investors seeking shelter for the funds.Silk Road takedown: Ross Ulbricht founded Silk Road to enable anonymous transactions. It quickly became synonymous with drug smuggling, human trafficking and money laundering. Silk Road used bitcoin as its primary currency until it was shut down in 2013. However, the damage was already done. Bitcoin had become associated with criminals and the dark web, a shadow it’s still struggling to shake today. Silicon valley vs crypto: Early bitcoin enthusiasts were outsiders in Silicon Valley. The Winklevoss twins were occasionally shunned by folks wary of not upsetting Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook. This outsider mentality is helpful as an innovator and an entrepreneur. Along the way, bitcoin became less fringe and much of Silicon Valley has embraced cryptocurrency to some degree. Google has gone from banning crypto ads to adding cryptocurrency prices in Google Finance. Bitcoin ETF: The Winklevoss twins began the quest to launch the first US-based bitcoin ETF in 2013. 8 years later, there are now 2 Canada-based bitcoin ETFs but none in the US. Major firms like Fidelity have now also proposed ETFs. I think the SEC will eventually approve a US-based bitcoin ETF. This struggle highlights some of the difficulties associated with innovation and introducing a new asset class. Purists vs Pragmatism: There is some tension within the bitcoin community between purists and pragmatists. Some bitcoin purists are wary of the existing banking sector and governments. They would prefer to operate in a peer-to-peer, permissionless, tamper free environment without government oversight. On the other hand, pragmatists prefer to operate within the existing banking sector and seek government regulation to foster growth.Charlie Shrem: was the brains behind BitInstant. In 2012, BitInstant was the leading vehicle by which early adopters purchased bitcoin via a network of over 700,000 store locations.The author suggests that 23-year old Charlie was caught up in the tension between purists vs pragmatism. He was ambivalent about enforcing KYC (Know-Your-Customer) requirements and alerting authorities to suspicious transactions. Ultimately, Charlie was arrested and imprisoned for money laundering. He was released in 2016. His fall from grace highlights the importance of coloring within the confines of the law and delegating (he served as CEO and Compliance Officer). The optimist in me is rooting for a comeback story for Charlie. Let’s see. ConclusionI really enjoyed Bitcoin Billionaires. I probably wharfed it down in a couple long reading sessions. The book is accessible and engaging. I highly recommend it for folks who are new to crypto and want to learn about the history and key characters. One day there will be a movie made about the times we are living in. Let me know what you think. As always, I appreciate book recommendations or any other feedback you might have. Have a great day!

This week is all about big mainstream money going into crypto: famous internet pizza man Dave Portnoy goes all in on Bitcoin, a publicly-traded NASDAQ company bought a couple hundred million dollars worth of BTC, and JPMorgan may be investing $50 million in a very well-known blockchain tech company. More @ Talk.Bitcoin.Tax Full Show Notes: August 14th, 2020: Bitcoin gains a Baron; A Nasdaq company invests big into Bitcoin; JPMorgan continues to apologize for anti-crypto sentiments by investing more money! (00:36) First up, Dave Portnoy has become the self-proclaimed Baron of Bitcoin. For those unfamiliar, Dave Portnoy is the founder of the sports and pop culture blog Barstool Sports. He's also well-known for his pizza review video channel, One Bite Reviews, and his fairly recent foray into day trading. On Thursday, Portnoy released 10 minute a video of him, Tyler Winklevoss, and Cameron Winklevoss. The video starts with Portnoy talking about how he got into crypto – his followers continuously told him to move from day trading traditional stocks to investing in crypto. From there, via the magic of Twitter, the Winklevoss twins became involved in the effort to convert Portnoy into a crypto connoisseur. Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss are the founders of the cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, and are very vocal about their support for mainstream crypto adoption. Enticing the well-known internet personality known to many as El Presidente was likely a no-brainer and should yield returns for them on both their company and their adoption endeavors. The brothers have attempted to educate and convert other high profile celebrities in the past, including J.K. Rowling and Kanye West. The video consists of the Winklevoss Twins attempting to explain some of the basic tenets of Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, and blockchain technology. They clarify distinction between mining and buying Bitcoin, and how their crytpcurrency exchange Gemini is similar, in the crypto world, to a stock-trading website like E*Trade. They call Bitcoin “internet gold” and explain how the scarcity affects the value – contesting that real gold's scarcity can be changed by Elon Musk space mining asteroids, whereas Bitcoin's scarcity can not be changed, cementing it as the “only fixed asset in the galaxy”. Portnoy semi-jokes about creating his own token, the “Dave Coin”, and muses on the idea of Elon Musk and the Winklevoss twins promoting his coin so that they all become Bitcoin Billionaires. The joke becomes a bit more serious when the brothers offer up some engineers to help code his coin, which leads Portnoy to talk about the coin's potential success helping the three of them “zoom past the success” of Mark Zuckerberg. After the brief lesson, Portnoy purchases $200,000 worth of Bitcoin and $50,000 worth of the Ethereum-based coin Chainlink (LINK), which has “had a pretty big month or two”. After all is said and done, what does this pretty unique interaction and video mean for cryptocurrency? Well, Dave Portnoy has already consistently been tweeting to his 1.7 million followers to buy BTC since the video's release – that's certainly a good thing for overall adoption and increasingly visibility to a mainstream audience. Some are hoping for a “Portnoy Effect” that will push Bitcoin past the $12,000 mark. We'll have to wait and see if that happens! — (03:14) From $200,000 invested into BTC to $250 million invested in Bitcoin…our next story is about largest independent publicly-traded business intelligence company MicroStrategy. On Tuesday, the company announced via press release that they had purchased 21,454 BTC at an aggregate purchase price of $250 million dollars. According to the release, this purchase was part of a two-pronged capital allocation strategy to invest in “alternate investments or assets” to “maximize long-term value for our shareholders”. The CEO of MicroStrategy stated “This investment reflects our belief that Bitcoin, as the world's most widely-adopted cryptocurrency, is a dependable store of value and an attractive investment asset with more long-term appreciation potential than holding cash.” And that “Our decision to invest in Bitcoin at this time was driven in part by a confluence of macro factors affecting the economic and business landscape that we believe is creating long-term risks for our corporate treasury program…[including], among other things, the economic and public health crisis precipitated by COVID-19, unprecedented government financial stimulus measures including quantitative easing adopted around the world, and global political and economic uncertainty…[which] may well have a significant depreciating effect on the long-term real value of fiat currencies and many other conventional asset types.” Of course, these are arguments that we hear quite often in the cryptocurrency community, but this move by a publicly traded company worth 1.2 billion is unprecedented and could yield some seriously positive implications for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. — (04:55) Our final story involves another traditional financial giant, JP Morgan Chase. We've discussed their (recent) heavy interest in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology in past episodes – they have their own blockchain called Quorum and their own digital coin JPMcoin. In the past, JPMorgan certainly wouldn't be considered an ally of cryptocurrency – the CEO Jamie Dimon infamously called Bitcoin a “fraud” back in 2017. However, he later walked those words back, and since then, the company has certainly been pumping resources into crypto and blockchain tech. This week, it has been rumored, and reported, by multiple crypto news outlets that JPMorgan is close to investing $20 million into the blockchain technology company ConsenSys. ConsenSys is an Ethereum-based blockchain development company with “full-stack Ethereum products [that] help developers build next-generation networks and enable enterprises to launch more powerful financial infrastructure.” The development company already has an established relationship with JPMorgan, as a merger between Quorum and ConsenSys has been in the works since the beginning of 2020. The rumors this week of a potential $20 million dollar investment seems to indicate a full-on partnership is on the horizon. This massive deal involving a traditional financial company that historically rejected cryptocurrency is one of many events that speaks to the resilience, legitimacy, and adaptability of crypto and blockchain tech. It's almost inevitable that we'll be reporting on more traditional financial institutions investing major resources into the world of cryptocurrency and blockchain.
Show hosts Bryce Paul, @PizzaMind & Matthew Aaron join Ben Mezrich for an in-depth discussion of Ben's new book titled “Bitcoin Billionaires” available now in print and audio formats. Ben has been friends with “The Winklevoss Twins” for many years and offers a unique insight into their contribution to the founding of Facebook. This story was originally told in Ben's 2009 release titled “The Accidental Billionaires” which was adapted for the hit movie “The Social Network” in 2010. The discussion also covers the parallels between the social network revolution and the emerging crypto currency revolution. **THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL OR LEGAL ADVICE** Guest Links: http://www.benmezrich.com iTunes: Ben Mezrich Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Mezrich IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0583826/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/benmezrich Show Links: CRYPTO101podcast.com iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crypto-101/id1262351840?mt=2 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=8429526 Twitter: https://twitter.com/Crypto101Pod twitter.com/BrycePaul101 https://www.instagram.com/crypto_101 https://twitter.com/PizzaMind Music: ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ♫Music By♫ ●WNTRA - Crashing Down [Bass Rebels Release] ●Song - https://youtu.be/SmxEcQhs7N4 ●Download/Stream - https://www.bassrebels.co.uk/Crashing... © Copyright 2019 Boardwalk Flock, LLC All Rights ReservedAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
