God Money

When he was twenty-one, Dean Patrick dropped out of Stanford to launch a cryptocurrency hedge fund. The only problem? The night he announced the launch, he was locked in a psychiatric ward for drug-induced psychosis. Set in the pressure cooker of Stanford and the bucolic forests of upstate New York, God Money details Dean's arrival at Stanford after a homeschooled upbringing in rural Washington state. Everything pointed to a successful ride up the socio-economic escalator to the American upper class. But when the fund went south, he was forced to face his addiction, sending him down a winding path of self-discovery and rehabilitation. Finally, after a chance meeting with Sadhu in Nepal he embarked on a spiritual journey where he found a truth he never would have expected.

"God Money offers a hauntingly honest and personal reflection on the rise of cryptocurrency, the dangers that accompany the pursuit of wealth, and the enduring quest for life's deeper meanings." - Chris Middleton, YLC.

"God Money is 50% laugh-out-loud "can't believe it's true" dark comedy and 50% hard-won wisdom from THE insider of Silicon Valley crypto culture. In a place where teenagers pitch projects as prophecies, Dean Patrick went higher than anyone else and fell harder than most can survive. No matter your personal ambitions or struggles, the Crypto Icarus will inspire." - Luke Kim Columnist at Times of India & EIR at Alchemist Accelerator
