Nat Eliason: Writing for the Modern World
Nat Eliason is a blogger, programmer, entrepreneur, and author of the new book Crypto Confidential, where he tells the story of riding the crypto mania wave of 2021, how he learned how to invest in crypto, become a programmer, and signing onto a project that made and then lost him millions of dollars.
