\nBillions of Dollars.
\nOn
e Lie.
In 2014 a brilliant Oxford graduate called Dr Ruja Ignatova promised to revolutionise money and make people rich in the process. The future\, she said\, belonged to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. And the self-styled cryptoqueen vowed that she had invented the Bitcoin Killer. Sh e launched OneCoin\, an exciting new cryptocurrency that she promised woul d not only earn its investors untold fortunes\, it would change the world. OneCoin swept the globe – becoming one of the fastest companies to make $ 1 billion in revenue.
\nBy 2017\, billions of dollars had been inves ted in OneCoin in hundreds of countries\, from the USA to Pakistan\, Hong Kong to Yemen\, and the UK to Uganda. But by the end of the year Ruja Igna tova had disappeared\, along with the money\, and it slowly became clear t hat her revolutionary cryptocurrency was not all it seemed.
\nJamie Bartlett will tell the unbelievable story of the rise\, disappearance and fall of Dr Ruja Ignatova. It is a modern tale of intrigue\, techno-hype an d herd madness that reveals how OneCoin became the biggest scam of the 21s t Century.
\nJamie Bartlett is the bestselling author of The Dar k Net\, Radicals\, and The People Vs Tech\, which w as longlisted for the 2019 Orwell Prize for Political Writing and won the 2019 Transmission Prize. He founded the Centre for the Analysis of Social Media at the think-tank Demos and regularly writes on technology and socie ty for the Spectator and the Telegraph.
\nCopies of his latest book \, The Missing Cryptoqueen\, will be available for purchase at th is event.
