“Crypto Kills”

Arsen Amatuni · «Крипта убивает»

An adventure thriller about the world of cryptocurrencies, built on real market stories. The crypto industry is young, yet it has already become a permanent part of everyday life. Alongside the success stories are stories of collapse, and the market mirrors the world: it cuts both ways, and instead of black-and-white truth there are countless shades of gray. The novel is published in Russian.

What the novel is about

Behind the loud success stories of the crypto industry are money, people and decisions that rarely get talked about. The novel is about them.

How the book came about: it started as a crypto textbook, but ten pages in the author realized the truth about the market is better told through a story — and so the thriller was born.
