BITCOIN BILLIONAIRES A True Story of Genius, Betrayal, and Redemption

The focus of this audiobook by a top financial journalist is the Winklevoss twins, Cameron and Tyler, the Harvard grads who claimed the idea for Facebook was stolen from them by fellow student Mark Zuckerberg. The brothers went on to become wealthy by promoting the cryptocurrency Bitcoin. Narrating with subtle pitch and phrasing variations, Will Damron connects with every bit of the drama and interpersonal tension that pervade this story. His pleasing voice and facility with dialogue are enormously enjoyable. Even if listeners are not that interested in Bitcoin or tech-oriented start-ups, they will love following the 20-something Winklevoss twins and their idealistic collaborators as they navigate perilous business challenges and try to manage their passions. Damron's superb performance adds to the excitement and makes this captivating listening. T.W. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2020]
