Who Invented Bitcoin. The Mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto's Identity

In 2008, a technical document was published on the internet, describing the basic principles of how bitcoin works. Beneath the text was the signature of a certain Satoshi Nakamoto. Soon he conducted the first transaction in history, which essentially marked the birth of a new payment system. At the same time, it was unclear whether Satoshi actually existed. Or was it just a fictional name that gave rise to a strange myth in the history of crypto? The name Satoshi became the subject of investigations, lawsuits, and information wars, while the history of bitcoin turned into a battleground for the interpretation of the past and control over what was happening. The author of the book, Mark Eglinton, for the first time in the history of cryptocurrencies interviews a person calling himself Satoshi Nakamoto. His personal story becomes the starting point for a sweeping tale – about the birth of bitcoin, the people involved in its development, and how the idea of a 'faceless' entity turned into a source of power, envy, and deep contradictions.
