In 2008, a whitepaper describing the fundamental principles of Bitcoin was published online. The text bore the signature of a certain Satoshi Nakamoto. Soon after, he conducted the first-ever transaction, which essentially marked the birth of a new payment system. However, it was unclear whether Satoshi actually existed, or if he was merely a fictitious name that gave rise to a strange myth in the history of crypto.

Satoshi's name became the subject of investigations, lawsuits, and information wars, and the history of Bitcoin became an arena for struggles over the interpretation of the past and control over events.

Author Mark Eglinton, for the first time in the history of cryptocurrency, interviews a person calling himself Satoshi Nakamoto. His personal story becomes the starting point for a larger narrative—one about the birth of Bitcoin, the people involved in its development, and how a "faceless" idea turned into a source of power, envy, and profound contradictions.
