Written with the verve of such works as The Big Short, The History of the Future, and The Spider Network, here is the fascinating, true story of the rise of Ethereum, the second-biggest digital asset in the world, the growth of cryptocurrency, and the future of the internet as we know it.

Everyone has heard of Bitcoin, but few know about the second largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum, which has been heralded as the next internet.

The story of Ethereum begins with Vitalik Buterin, a supremely gifted nineteen-year-old autodidact who saw the promise of blockchain when the technology was in its earliest stages. He convinced a crack group of coders to join him in his quest to make a super-charged, global computer.

The Infinite Machine introduces Vitalik's ingenious idea and unfolds Ethereum's chaotic beginnings. It then explores the brilliant innovation and reckless greed the platform--an infinitely adaptable foundation for experimentation and new applications--has unleashed and the consequences that resulted as the frenzy surrounding it grew: increased regulatory scrutiny, incipient Wall Street interest, and the founding team's effort to get the Ethereum platform to scale so it can eventually be accessible to the masses.

Financial journalist and cryptocurrency expert Camila Russo details the wild and often hapless adventures of a team of hippy-anarchists, reluctantly led by an ambivalent visionary, and lays out how this new foundation for the internet will spur both transformation and fraud--turning some into millionaires and others into felons--and revolutionize our ideas about money.


--Jesse Walden, founder of venture fund Variant and former Andreessen Horowitz investor

Very useful USB hub
Color: Black
Works as described. This thing has more inputs than most will ever need. I thought it would be big and bulky but it doesn't take up much space at all. It's super lightweight, except for the power supply but even then, it's not that heavy. I'm currently using some of the USB 3.2 ports and 1 of the USB charging ports with zero issues and now I'm able to plug more devices without fear of my PC struggling to communicate with them all. It's a little pricey compared to other USB hubs but I feel it's totally worth it.

Super product.
Size: 12 Outlet, Size: 12 Outlet
Really happy with this strip. It mounts to the wall on the ends, which is MUCH better than attaching with hidden keyholes. Having a lighted switch above each outlet is very useful and saves both power and extends the life of components not in use. The cable retention on both ends is genius. Wish I had one of these years ago

Great power strip for my shop vac and miter saw!
Size: 12 Outlet
Works great in my garage! I currently have it mounted on the wall and have my shop vac and miter saw plugged in. It makes it incredibly easy to turn the master switch on and have my shop vac and miter saw turn on at the same time. When I’m not using the shop vac and miter saw combo, I shut off their individual switches and I’m free to use the other plugs so the individual switches for each outlet are very handy! It’s very durable as I have it mounted on the wall and has an adequate number of outlets for my work bench. The size is just right and it was very easy to mount. My only suggestion is to space the screw holes on the power strip so that it can be mounted between 2 standard wall studs 16 inches on center for unfinished wall mounting. The screw holes didn’t line up like this so I could only put screws on one side of it and I needed to improvise a way to secure the other side of the power strip to the next stud so it was as mounted securely and didn’t move as I plugged and unplugged things.

Perfect power strip
Size: 6 Outlet
Great value for the money. I love the switches for each plug and has lights at each plug; lets you know when you have a outlet switched on, love that. Well-made, heavy-duty cord and circuit breaker, all high quality.

3300 Joules surge protected, sturdy and perfect for my office
Size: 12 Outlet
I purchased this power strip once a few months ago, and just purchased a second one, both for my office! I use the first one screwed at the bottom of my desk to plug in my Mac, 2 monitors, 2 Homepod, 1 external drive, my Echo Dot and a few other things. What I love about this is: 1. It has 12 slots that are perfectly spread out so that all of the power plugs, even the bulkier ones, fit nicely next to each other 2. There is a killer switch on each slot, which makes it globally safer if one of the outlet fries, or if I want to turn off some of the devices while I am away. It also includes a 3300 Joules surge protection, which is quite high comparer to similar power strips! Luckily, I never had to test its efficiency yet... I am pretty sure it won't replace a proper but much pricier UPS device, but it's better than nothing! 3. I love the fact that you can contain all of the wires on the sides, so that they don't dangle and don't get tangled. 4. This is very well built, it feels sturdy. I don't especially like the yellow color, but to be honest, it's hidden anyway! So I just purchased another one to plug in all of the devices that I have on the other side of my office: the eero modem, echo amp, Mac Mini, Nas Drive, printer and the Philips Hue hub and lights, and it all works like a charm, and doesn't catch dust as much as before. Most of the time, I'm very critical about what I purchase, but in this case, I think it's great and worth sharing ;-)
