From presale madness to rock-bottom clarity, Crypto Dad: Surviving the Digital Shitshow takes you inside the hype and wreckage of the crypto storm
About the Book
When Ken stepped into the world of crypto, he wasn’t looking for patience or discipline. He wanted a break — a shot to finally get ahead. Instead, he walked straight into a maze of hype, deception, and lessons that only revealed themselves once the damage was already done.
From early chaos to rug-pull heartbreak, from slow-fade projects to communities powered more by hype than honesty, Ken exposes the emotional side of crypto no one talks about: the stress, the obsession, the desperation, and the quiet shame of losing more than money.
But this isn’t a story about defeat.
It’s a story about clarity.
As the noise fades, Ken finds what actually matters: transparency over hype, substance over noise, and the peace that comes from stepping off the roller coaster and rebuilding something steady, real, and meaningful.
Crypto Dad: Surviving the Digital Shitshow isn’t a guide.
It’s a survival story — and a reminder that the real win isn’t the moonshot…but the clarity that comes after the fall.

What Readers are Saying
Ken Houghton never planned to write a crypto book. He was just a working dad chasing a little stability when the chaos of the crypto markets pulled him in. With decades in the commercial paint industry and the mindset of an everyday retail investor, Ken experienced the hype, pressure, and emotional fallout of crypto firsthand — not from the sidelines, but from the middle of the storm.
Crypto Dad: Surviving the Digital Shitshow comes from those lived moments: the presale frenzy, the mistakes no one talks about, and the clarity that only shows up after the crash. Ken writes for real people navigating the crypto world — investors who want honesty, not hype.
Grounded, relatable, and unfiltered, Ken brings a rare voice to crypto storytelling: not a guru, not an analyst, but a father, husband, and hard-working American who learned the hard way and came back with something worth sharing.
