When greed meets innovation, chaos follows. The ICO Boom and Bubble: Unraveling the Tangled Web pulls back the curtain on one of modern finance’s wildest rides the meteoric rise and sudden collapse of the ICO era. It’s a story of ambition and illusion, where unregulated dreams of easy wealth gave way to deception, hype, and loss.

Step into the feverish world of early crypto fundraising, where visionaries, engineers, and opportunists all chased the same promise. Learn how fake teams, doctored whitepapers, and slick marketing built empires of air that vanished overnight. Through detailed case studies, the book exposes how emotion not logic drove the frenzy, as fear and greed fueled a cycle of blind investment and inevitable regret.

But what came after mattered just as much. The ICO Boom and Bubble chronicles the fallout the lawsuits, the rebuilding, and the lessons that reshaped a maturing crypto ecosystem. It offers a grounded look at how trust was lost, and how it began to return through accountability, smarter regulation, and hard-earned wisdom.

Both cautionary and instructive, this is essential reading for anyone drawn to the promise or peril of digital finance.

The next revolution in money is already here. The question is, will we learn from the last one?
