I recently finished Jason Pargin’s novel I’m Starting to Worry About this Black Box of Doom, a comedic thriller in which a long-lost cache of Bitcoin that ends up being worth many orders of magnitude more than anyone expected plays a major role in the lives of several characters.
Bitterness over what might have been sure seems to be a recurring theme in the “easy come, easy go” world of cryptocurrency. Even for people who didn’t lose money, there are always those who can’t stop obsessing about how rich they’d be if [friend or family member] hadn’t advised them against investing in the scheme back at the beginning.
