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 Crypto Genius takes readers through a rogues’ gallery tour of Nakamoto suspects – and the eleven-figure fortune in his Bitcoin wallet still waiting to be claimed.
