Everywhere you look, people are talking about the next crypto boom. Social media feeds overflow with promises of overnight wealth and revolutionary freedom from the banking system. But behind the glittering buzzwords and hype lies a different reality one filled with volatility, deception, and unregulated risk.

Beyond the Hype exposes the hidden side of the digital asset revolution. With clarity and insight, Herman Strange unpacks how speculation, market manipulation, and blind optimism have created a financial landscape that rewards the few and confuses the many. From Bitcoin crashes to NFT scams, this book shows how easily investors can lose everything in pursuit of quick profits.

Readers will discover the truth about blockchain technology, decentralized finance, and the environmental toll of mining. You’ll learn how crypto projects rise and fall, how fraud thrives in the shadows of innovation, and how even the most “secure” wallets and exchanges can vanish overnight.

This is not a manifesto against innovation it’s a guide to surviving it. Whether you’re a cautious investor, a crypto enthusiast, or a policymaker seeking balance between freedom and accountability, Beyond the Hype challenges you to look deeper, question harder, and understand what’s really at stake when the next big coin trends online.
