Book Talk: Financial Post, Cointelegraph columnists on the Calgary crypto scene

Details

Ethan Lou and Elias Ahonen are columnists with the Financial Post and Cointelegraph, respectively.

Ethan's book, "Once a Bitcoin Miner: Scandal and Turmoil in the Cryptocurrency Wild West," was released on Oct. 19, 2021. Part of it depicts the Calgary cryptocurrency space that both he and Elias travelled in 2017-19.

This very meetup group played a central role in that period that saw Bitcoin rise to $20,000. It was a time of both hope and hype, followed by a painful cryptocurrency winter and a case now before the Alberta Securities Commission. This here is a relevant excerpt in the Financial Post: https://financialpost.com/fp-finance/cryptocurrency/once-a-bitcoin-miner-a-peek-inside-the-early-days-of-cryptocurrency

Join Ethan and Elias as they talk about old times, the current cryptocurrency climate and, of course, the book.
