A thrilling investigation into the mysterious identity of Bitcoin’s creator and a deep dive into crypto’s utopian origin story unfolds in this captivating narrative. In October 2008, an individual using the name Satoshi Nakamoto posted a white paper detailing a “peer-to-peer electronic cash system” called Bitcoin on a Cypherpunk listserv. Nakamoto's sudden disappearance sparked intrigue, turning his identity into one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of our time. The narrative follows Benjamin Wallace’s quest to unveil the person behind this revolutionary currency, which initially promised to liberate finance from government and banking control. However, as Bitcoin gained traction, it became entangled in rampant speculation and a troubling reputation, diverging from its idealistic beginnings. Wallace embarks on a global search, investigating a range of suspects—from the benevolent cryptographer Hal Finney to the enigmatic Jim, and the controversial Craig Wright, who claims to be Nakamoto. With a blend of investigative journalism and compelling storytelling, Wallace navigates leads from London to Los Angeles, exploring the complexities of Nakamoto’s legacy. The journey not only seeks to uncover Nakamoto's identity but also interrogates the essence of mystery itself, making for a gripping read that resonates with the intrigue surrounding one of the century's most significant technological innovations.
