Cryptocurrency: The Cocaine of Finance: Why Crypto Harms Society, Corrupts Power, and Endangers Ordinary People (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798902170174)

Cryptocurrency was sold as innovation.
As liberation.
As the future of money.

In reality, it behaves more like cocaine.

Fast profits create addiction. Speculation corrodes institutions. Power concentrates, accountability dissolves, and ordinary people absorb the damage when the high wears off.

In Cryptocurrency: The Cocaine of Finance, ButterflyMan examines how crypto functions not as neutral technology, but as a financial stimulant-one that amplifies inequality, distorts markets, and weakens democratic safeguards when legitimized by political power and public authority.

This is not a technical guide, and it is not an attack on technology itself.
It is a warning about systems designed to reward excess, evade responsibility, and privatize gains while socializing loss.

The question is no longer whether crypto can make money.
The question is whether society can afford its cost.

1. Cuts through crypto hype with clear, human-focused analysis.

2. Exposes how power and legitimacy amplify financial harm.

3. Centers ordinary people-not traders or insiders.

4. Treats cryptocurrency as systemic risk, not a market trend.

5. Asks the question profit narratives avoid: can society afford the cost?
