One of the things that stood out to me was McKenzie’s ability to make complex economic concepts accessible. Unlike many other books on cryptocurrency, “Easy Money” is written in a way that even those without a background in economics can understand. McKenzie’s conversational tone and first-person narrative made me feel like I was right there with him, exploring the confusing and often murky world of digital currencies.
The book also offers a behind-the-scenes look at McKenzie’s process of writing and researching the subject. He candidly shares his initial doubts about whether he was the right person to write this book, given his acting background. However, his persistence and passion for the topic shine through as he describes the various experts he met along the way and the surprising places his research took him.
As someone who has dabbled in cryptocurrency myself, I found McKenzie’s skepticism refreshing. He doesn’t just take the hype at face value; instead, he digs deep to uncover the risks and uncertainties that often go unnoticed in the mainstream narrative. His collaboration with journalist Jacob Silverman adds an extra layer of credibility to the book, combining McKenzie’s curiosity with Silverman’s investigative skills.
