“Tech has been major for my business—I mean I basically built my brand off of an iPhone.
That’s why I loved The Money Hackers. It tells the stories of others who have fused
tech and finance to push the industry forward. I loved the book and it inspired me to
name my next dog Bitcoin. Definitely read it!” —Haley Sacks, Mrs. Dow Jones
“You don’t need to be a Wall Street vet or an MBA grad to appreciate The Money Hackers.
This unexpectedly human story chronicles the recent history of money with eloquence,
simplicity, and soul.”

“The current buzz is all about fintech and how mobile has taken over our lives. In a
fast-paced and easy-to-read style, Dan Simon traces this seed change from its origins to
the present. They are all here: the early adapters, the winners, the losers, the survivors,
the techs, and the banks. Simon engagingly describes the tension between the “move
fast and break things” mentality of the entrepreneurs vs. the “walk slow and play safe”
of the banks. Pick this book up and disrupt your day. You won’t put it down.”

how the rise of mobile, social, and the network economy has reshaped so much of our

has reshaped our money since the financial crisis and spotlights the fascinating individuals
who have brought this innovation to life. Anyone who enjoys reading about disruptors,
or dreams of being a disrupter themselves one day, would do well to read this
book.”

This book offers an approachable, inclusive, and entertaining take on how we
interact with money and what it means for the future.”

“The Money Hackers is more than a book about finance or technology, it’s a book about
people. Through these unique perspectives—some funny, some heart-wrenching, all
equally fascinating—Simon tells the story of how Fintech came to be and why you
should care.”
