Blog postHere it is, the cover to "Guts: The Anatomy of The Walking Dead," with art by Tony Moore:
Grisly, right? I love it. Tony was the original artist on the graphic novels, a childhood friend of Robert Kirkman's, and they developed the story together. It was a big deal to get him to do the cover art for the book, and I'm very excited about it.
Publication is set for October, right around the time that season 8 of the show will premiere. If you want to order it now on Amazon, the1 month ago Read more -
Blog postDarth Vader is one of the most iconic villains in film history. Yet the story of how he became that villain is a mess.
I've been thinking about this post for years. It probably started about four minutes after I walked out of my first viewing of The Phantom Menace, but I've been thinking about it more with Rogue One coming next month. The problem with the prequels is simply the clumsy way the central story is told: how Anakin Skywalker becomes Darth Vader. He's introduced as a slave6 months ago Read more -
Blog postThis week I sat down with Manu Saadia, the author of "Trekonomics." We had a great, wide-ranging talk, about Star Trek and the vision of the future laid out by Gene Roddenberry. We talked about the elements that contribute to the economics of the 23rd and 24th centuries, and we explored how many of those elements are either with us today, or exist in very nascent form.
It's very surprising to find that nobody's ever written a book about the economics of Star Trek before. Y9 months ago Read more -
Blog postThis is going to be the best "very special episode of" ever.
Who doesn't love a good crossover? You know, like Ray Romano showing up on King of Queens. The doctors from St. Regis having a drink at Cheers. Granny from the Beverly Hillbillies appearing on Mister Ed.
I guess that was on my mind lately. I was wondering - as many have - if there was any way to connect the cast of The Walking Dead with the spinoff show Fear the Walking Dead (I recap both shows1 year ago Read more -
Blog postI was lucky enough to get a press pass to attend Friday night's "Walking Dead" extravaganza at Madison Square Garden. You can read my piece on it for the Journal here. But, I took a bunch of photos, most of which we couldn't use for the post, so I thought I'd share those here.
I will say, personally, it was a blast. It was very unusual to watch a TV show in a theater setting, with a huge high-def screen and pounding sound system. With more than 10,000 other fans cheering a2 years ago Read more -
Blog postBack in the spring, when I went to South by Southwest, I met up with Sean Ramsey, a Toronto production guy who had ditched his production company to start a new company building 360-degree cameras. He called it the bublcam, and that day he gave me a little demo of it.
This month, the company sent me one to test out for myself, which I've been doing. Here are some of the photos I've taken. It's not quite as easy as shooting with your cellphone, but your cellphone can't do this.

Blog postI should've put this on here a while ago. It's the talk I did with Mike and the Economist's Matthew Bishop in June at the OnCue2015 conference in Boston. This panel was held in the Memorial Church at Harvard.
It was shot with a VSN Mobil 360-degree camera. I just placed the camera on our table, and let it run. The way the software works, it cuts the video in half for viewing in these kinds of environments, but if you watched this with virtual-reality goggles, you'd get the full 360-2 years ago Read more -
Blog postUPDATE: So, my 1914 penny is not a 1914 penny, and it's not worth much more than a penny, either.
Took it to an appraiser in midtown, who took one look at it with a magnifying glass, said it was a 1917 penny, and mumbled something about its worth.
"It's what?" I said.
"A penny, a penny," he said real fast, not wanting to waste one second on it. "It's a penny and it's worth a penny."

Blog postWe've gone to bandcamp. Really.
Bandcamp is an online site, for musicians mainly, a sort of sales platform and social network rolled into one. Artists can sell their music, set the prices, talk to fans, follow other artists, and so on. The website is good, and the mobile app is even better. They have a nice product for musicians, and have managed to sell a good number of albums over the years.

Blog postCan't believe I didn't post this earlier, but the New York Times reviewed The Age of Cryptocurrency in its March 22 edition, in a piece written by Columbia University's Emanuel Derman, who called it a "thorough, timely and colorful book."
It's going to sound kind of silly, but to be blunt this is something I've dreamed about for decades. To have your book reviewed in the Times? There just isn't anything that tops that. I'll be honest with you, I get a just a little bit emo2 years ago Read more -
Blog postThat's us with Lord Sear.
No doubt, the most fun we've had doing an interview so far was the half-hour we spent two Friday's ago on the All Out Show on SiriusXM. It's an uncensored (Sirius, after all) hip-hop interview and talk show.
This show was very different from all the other shows we've done, which have mainly been business-oriented outlets like CNBC and Fox Business. But these guys, Rude Jude and Lord Sear, gave us a lot of time to explain bitcoin. Sure, they rip2 years ago Read more -
Blog postMike and I made a trailer for The Age of Cryptocurrency. Book trailers have gotten pretty elaborate over the past few years, and it's no surprise. While once upon a time it didn't make sense to make a trailer to sell a book, the rise of YouTube and social media have opened this up as a new way to market your book. It's not a must have yet - I haven't seen any trailers for Stephen King books - but it's quite nearly mainstream.
There are an awful lot of trailers out there now, and som2 years ago Read more -

Blog postYesterday, the oddest email landed in my inbox. It was from Amazon. "Paul Vigna," it said, "are you looking for something in our Industries in Business & Money eBooks department? If so, you might be interested in these items."
Now, what item do you think was at the top of the list? The Age of Cryptocurrency. Now that, I thought to myself, is fantastic. Amazon is promoting my book in its little email circulars (does anybody use the term circular for these kind3 years ago Read more -
Blog postThings are going to start happening quickly now, I think. "The Age of Cryptocurrency" is 75 days away from publication, Jan. 27. We got our first review, too, from Publishers Weekly. It's what they call a starred review, meaning it's got a little star next to it, which I'm told is their way of indicating this is an important book.

Blog postIn line with a project I've been working on, I compiled a bunch of quotes about money, i.e., money quotes:
“Cursed he be above all others who’s enslaved by love of money.” – Anacreon, Greek lyric poet, 500 BC
“Of all the foul growths current in the world, the worst is money.” Sophocles 442 BC
“Love of money is the mother of all evils.” Diogenes the Cynic, 400-325 BC

Blog postOn the morning of April 18, Joby Ogywn was lying in his sleeping bag, in a tent, at a base camp on the side of Mt. Everest, when he heard the awful sounds of the avalanche that would claim 16 lives, including three members of his own team. It was the single worst disaster in the history of the world's tallest mountain.
Ogywn, a famed daredevil, was prepping for an audacious stunt: climbing to the top of Everest and jumping off in a wingsuit. He canceled the stunt the next day (Disco3 years ago Read more -
Blog postI should've posted this a while ago, just been busy on a whole load of other things, which I'll be talking about more over the rest of this year. In the meantime, we were lucky enough to snag Norman Reedus, who plays Daryl Dixon on "The Walking Dead" for this interview back in the beginning of March.

Blog postIf I work for another 40 years, I may not have as much fun as I had today in making this video.
Broadway has been turned into Disneyland for football fans this week. From 47th to 34th, the whole thing is one big Super Bowl carnival; nothing but football fans and football games and football rides and the Lombardi Trophy. I don't know how you could not like it.
(Yes, that's a GoPro camera on my head. Sadly, none of that footage made the final cut.)

Blog postI collaborated with my colleague Mike Casey on a post this week, listing some of the things you can buy with bitcoin: tickets to the Sacramento Kings, classes at the University of Nicosia, gold (yeah, really, no kidding), dates, dates with other bitcoiners, a house in Southampton, luxury autos...well, you get the picture.

Blog postI've started experimenting with Touchcast, a new software tool that allows you to do some really fascinating things with interactive video. It allows individuals to create some pretty professional looking videos, but what's really ingenious about is that all of the graphics that you bring into the video, pictures, charts, web pages, anything, are all interactive.The viewer can touch or click on them, and be pulled into that graphic.
It really is an amazing little program. They have3 years ago Read more -
Blog postEverything you need to know about Twitter's promise and pitfalls can be summed up by Sharknado. Here's an excerpt from a piece I wrote for MoneyBeat last week, a discussion of the campy SyFy movie "Sharknado," Twitter, and advertising, with Mark O'Brien, the head of DDB Worldwide's North American business.
I loved "Sharknado," by the way, and I really did think it illustrated something key to Twitter's future. Was waiting for a few months to find a good way to ge4 years ago Read more -
Blog postThe best lesson I ever learned about writing I got from running.
When I was in my early 30s, I realized that drinking five or six days a week was not a particularly promising health regimen, so I joined a gym. There was one in the building where I was working at the time, in Jersey City, N.J., and it offered a corporate discount. It was a fine, modern gym,with all the fine, modern features. But I realized pretty quickly that I had no interest in weights, or spinning classes, or pers4 years ago Read more -
