God Money: Lost and Found in the Crypto Wilderness

2025

Synopsis

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.
