The Satoshi Enigma: The Search for Bitcoin's Creator (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781912029969)

Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?

The identity of the Bitcoin creator is one of the world's great unsolved mysteries.

No one ever met him or spoke to him. He communicated only over the Internet and constructed an identity that proved impenetrable to break.

He mined at least 1.1 million Bitcoins, making him now one of the richest men in the world.

He disappeared for good in 2011.

The Bitcoin community reveres Satoshi as a saintly figure who gave the gift of Bitcoin to the world before perhaps destroying his keys and humbly withdrawing. But is it too good to be true?

The Satoshi Enigma uncovers the shocking truth behind the mask. It proves Satoshi Nakamoto is Paul Le Roux-a master criminal, real-life James Bond villain, murderer, computer genius, and cryptographer. Satoshi fooled everyone. He did not invent Bitcoin to benefit humanity but to control a significant percentage of the world's money.

The book uncovers the "greed loop" that Le Roux programmed into Bitcoin, which accounts for its phenomenal increase in value. And it reveals for the first time the real mocking meaning of "Satoshi Nakamoto". (Hint: It's a word puzzle.)
