Discover "new paths to prosperity you never knew existed" in this "must-read guide to the new economy." (Ozan Varol, author of Awaken Your Genius) The traditional ways of earning a living are outdated, if not outright rigged. That's why a growing number of enterprising individuals are instead turning to the growing ecosystem of decentralized, fast-moving virtual markets to pursue a host of previously unheard-of ways to pay the bills.

  • A teenager who earned more than $400,000 helping indecisive parents pick the perfect name for their newborn child
  • The armchair pundits and pop culture enthusiasts making hundreds of dollars a day betting on everything from local elections to who will be next to be voted off Love Island via online "prediction markets".
  • A broke 29-year-old who bartered her way from a hairpin to a new house--twice--while gaining internet fame in the process.
  • The gamers racking up digital currency by breeding virtual crabs in the metaverse.
  • A remote worker who collects two six-figure salaries from simultaneously working two different jobs.
