Description
Who is behind the invention of Bitcoin, and why does this person remain hidden? At the end of October 2008, the first public mention appeared of Bitcoin, a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. Its author was a certain Satoshi Nakamoto. Although no one knew who was hiding behind the pseudonym, the concept of electronic currency nevertheless brought about a revolution in finance and technology. Many people therefore began investigating the inventor’s true identity. But Satoshi Nakamoto disappeared. The only known fact was that, as the first Bitcoin miner, Nakamoto had accumulated an enormous fortune. As cryptocurrencies grew in popularity, Nakamoto’s identity became one of the greatest mysteries of our time. Journalist Benjamin Wallace spent fifteen years investigating the identity and, in this investigative book, follows clues that lead him to various places in the United States, Europe and Australia. Alongside this detective work, the book also explains how Bitcoin works and examines developments in cryptocurrencies over the past twenty years.
