From the publisher

The Mysterious Mr Nakamoto could be the best mystery story of the past twenty years.’ James Patterson

‘This is, by far, the deepest investigation into possibly the biggest mystery of the 21st century. I couldn’t put it down.’ Mark Manson#1 New York Times bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k

‘Highly enjoyable’ Wall Street Journal

In October 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto posted a white paper outlining ‘a peer-to-peer electronic cash system’ called Bitcoin to an arcane Listserv populated by Cypherpunks. No one in the community had heard of Nakamoto, and just as people were starting to wonder who he was, he vanished…

Just who was Satoshi Nakamoto? Tracking leads from coastal Australia – through London, Oslo and Los Angeles – to the Arizona desert, and exploring Bitcoin’s utopian origins and the world it eventually wrought, The Mysterious Mr Nakamoto takes readers through a rogues’ gallery tour of Nakamoto suspects – and the eleven-figure fortune in his Bitcoin wallet still waiting to be claimed.
