About the book: 2024 / In 2013, Ethereum was just a fantasy of a nineteen-year-old student Vitalik Buterin, who lived in a room that looked like a prison cell and wrote articles for Bitcoin Magazine.

Laura Shin, journalist and writer, host of the podcast about cryptocurrency Unchained, talks about the turbulent years of the formation of the Ethereum platform (2014-2018), when “crypto” from a hobby of a narrow group of enthusiasts turned into a universal one. fad and forever changed the global financial system. “In Code” is a documentary technological thriller in which developers, investors, IT tycoons and hackers fight for money and power, a mistake in the code becomes the reason for a drama of Shakespearean proportions, and utopian dreams can either ruin someone’s life or turn incredible success.
