Nat Eliason is the author of Crypto Confidential, Winning and Losing Millions in the New Frontier of Finance. I've been following Nat online for a while now – he's gone from marketing agency owner to business writer to book influencer and a bunch of stops in between. And the common thread through all these projects was Nat's ability to write. In 2021, Nat dove deep into the world of crypto and Web3, as many of us did. But when Nat goes into something, he goes really deep into that thing – and he got MUCH deeper into crypto and Web3 than most. During that boom cycle, there were some big winners and big losers—Nat, at times, was both. He left that world on top, and applied his writing ability to tell the story of just how insane things really were at the highest levels of crypto.
