NIMM PLATZ - Kölner Literatursommer mit Juan S. Guse

In the organizer's words:

Juan S. Guse reads from Tausendmal so viel Geld wie jetzt as part of the Cologne Summer of Literature at NIMM PLATZ

One has studied geography and works for minimum wage as a cemetery gardener, but has digital assets worth 20 million euros. The other still drives his battered Saab station wagon around, although he sees himself in the nine-figure range soon: Juan S. Guse spent a year meeting ordinary men who have become rich with cryptocurrencies. No developers, no hedge fund managers, no crypto influencers, just guys who were in the right place at the right time. His new book "Tausendmal so viel Geld wie jetzt" is about them and what such a class leap has done to them, what attracted them to the promises of this technology, why it is always men, how the desire for quick money fits in with a society in crisis mode, why some dogs take their own lives and how Guse wants to get back the 2,000 euros he himself lost with crypto.
