A Thousand Times More Money Than You Have Now

Wealth, tears and utopias: four men and their crypto currencies

One studied geography and works for minimum wage as a landscape gardener at a cemetery, yet he owns digital assets worth 20 million euros. Another one still drives his dented Volvo V70 station wagon, even though he sees himself reaching into nine figures soon.

Juan S. Guse spent a year meeting ordinary men who became wealthy through cryptocurrencies. Not developers, hedge fund managers, or crypto influencers, but simply guys who were in the right place at the right time. "A Thousand Times More Money Than You Have Now" tells their stories and explores what this kind of leap in social class has done to them, what drew them to the promises of this technology, why it’s always men, how the desire for quick money fits into a society in crisis mode, why some dogs commit suicide, and how the author plans to reclaim the 2000 euros he lost himself in crypto.
