This was an especially informative interview:

Has anyone read this recently-published book?

Yes, there's duplication, but there's more content here:
My question was not meant to slight you in any way. Just that, if you had said English was your first language, then I would not have believed anything you said about your academic credentials. However, seeing as how English is not your first language it is only fair that I give you the benefit of the doubt.

Good points.
I usually get something helpful out of most any book;
but cant really predict 100% even on a trading book. Sorry\ about the only thing i got out was a laugh on spelling of book review =''rabbit whole[aka rabbit whole''
]I guess in fairness one con man enjoyed = was helped by the com man Sam bankman Fried interview. Sorry, meaning i'm not sorry; its sorry trash. Sorry the scrap market for paper requires tons to make a profit.
For fun cons i recommend the move ''The Sting''; its disclosed as a con game from the get go.
[Edit, sorry, i will not have time to read any more of that trash]
That's enough McKenzie, now STOP. Just stop right now, before you further wreck your acting career.
There are far better ways to try to hype and plug your shitty book, than coming onto Elite Trader and making a shameful post linking to your shitty book under false pretenses of 'just curious what everyone thinks'.
Then 'surprise' when people point out facts on your shitty trading career, you suddenly begin the insults and have to go onto a tirade posting every review on Amazon to further attempt in boosting up your shitty book. As though that counts for anything. And the quotes/reviews... they don't count for shit.
As mentioned, you looked like an absolute fool on CNBC. Ok, it happens... but you can't change that now. And the more you try to pump this shit up, it just makes you look worse.
Stop this now Ben, before you totally wreck your failing acting career like you did with your trading.
Let it go, or find somewhere else to plug this shit.
Of course, I bought the book. But it is 6th in queue on my Kindle.
Alright Ben, I finished reading through chapter 1 of your PoS book last night. Which, I really had to take with a grain of salt.
I will say this, I've been constantly trying to examine bear cases for bluechip cryptos for a long, long time now, and despite I can't find good arguments, I still try to keep an open mind to the bear side. Unfortunately for you, all you did was make me even more bullish due to your flawed assumptions.
Before we get into that, thank you for letting the reader know from the first chapter that your book is a bunch of political garbage. Right near the start, you go on and on about Trump being a fraud, and the evils of Trump, blah blah. You just can't stop crying and whining over it like a 7-year-old libertard. On the other hand, Hillary (Killary?) gets no such harsh words, despite the fact you and I know she's the worst conniving liar that ever hit US politics. Funny how that is!
You can't even shut up about your anti-trump trirate even up to the very end of the first chapter! Does he keep you awake at night and not let you sleep? The horror of it all! I know... I know... he said some not-so-nice things about China and Russia. How dare he! It's almost like Trump inferred Putin was going to plot something evil in the near future. Can you imagine such nonsense?
So, let's push your political BS aside and look at what little things you actually said about crypto. One of your key points I can recall:
Oh boy, this is so wrong on so many levels. Seriously!? Well, we better not hedge our positions using options, because if one side wins, the other side at the other end of the Options Clearing Corporation will lose! Fraud! Fake! Deceit!
In fact, don't even bother buying house or car insurance. Fraud! One side has to lose! Fakery!
You also attempt to back up your ridiculous assumptions by showing your genius by comparing crypto exchanges to casinos. And when you get into details you talk about how the house always wins, because the house charges a % rake.
Then you extrapolate to the exchanges, and are super smart to notice that exchanges charge commissions (a rake fee), and therefore, it's a sucker bet where the player/client is going to lose and the house/exchange is rigged to win.
Funny how you stopped right there, to let it sink into your reader. Yet, you failed to extrapolate this theory into what it means for the rest of the markets if your theory is correct. So, we better not purchase stocks like Bell, Canadian Pacific Railway, Enbridge, etc. from the Toronto Stock Exchange because.... drumroll... your broker and the exchange will charge you a rake fee for this?
My god, those victimized retirees who purchased RBC, Toronto Dominion, or BMO financial stocks. The horror of it all...
Fake, fraud, deceit! Those bastards! Just trying to scam you into a fraudulent retirement fund.
Remember, someone has to lose for someone to win! So it's all a scam!

Apart from your tearing into a single questionable argument of his that you identified and quoted in isolation, you seem to be living outside of your mind. It must be very liberating.
So! I realized this morning that what I wrote was not fully correct. Apparently, I did not even make it through the boring chapter 1 last night. I fell asleep while trying to get through it!
So here is how Chapter 1 really ends:
The author talks about being depressed and alone during the COVID-19 pandemic. So, he just wanted to be high on pot all the time. He got a card approved so he could medically get all the pot that he wanted. And while being high, this is how he got the idea for writing the book about cryptos!
No, I am NOT making this shit up!
He then did some looking around for a co-writer, (because he sucks at writing as much as investing). This is where he found another anti-Trumper, Silverman to help write this PoS book.
Stay tuned for Chapter #2 ...
