Number Go Up 2023
Number Go Up: Inside Crypto's Wild Rise and Staggering Fall is an English-language book published in 2023 by Currency. It is written by investigative journalist Zeke Faux, who examines the cryptocurrency world with a critical perspective. The work covers events such as the 2022 collapse of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, involving Sam Bankman-Fried. It also explores scams including Razzlekhan and pig butchering schemes. The book was included in best of 2023 lists by major outlets like Wired, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and the Financial Times. Faux stated that the title came from something he heard at a conference, where a Bitcoin advocate said that when prices rise, it excites buyers, leading to further increases and eventually “to the moon.” He found this idea laughable but believes it reflects what has happened in recent years.
