In this episode I interviewed Ben Mezrich, the author of the new book "The Antisocial Network", which chronicles the Gamestop short squeeze saga. He also penned, "Bitcoin Billionaires", and two films which became films "The Accidental Billionaires" ("The Social Network"), and "Bringing Down the House" ("21"). In this episode we discuss:
- The stories behind the GME short squeeze.
- Being exposed to Bitcoin through writing.
- How quickly the book came together.
