About the Book

'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 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.

Previously published as The Mysterious Mr Nakamoto.

Review :
I'm not sure whether Ben Wallace should win a Pulitzer, be institutionalized for taking on this massive project, or both. Benjamin Wallace's astonishingly obsessive deep dive into the financial world's greatest modern mystery will leave you amazed, enlightened, and utterly breathless. The Mysterious Mr Nakamoto takes us on a wild adventure among the oddballs, geniuses, longevity fanatics, and anarchists of crypto in search of one of the most elusive and consequential figures of our time. The Mysterious Mr Nakamoto delves into the enigma of Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, and the quest to unmask the figure behind the revolutionary cryptocurrency. Combining deep research and gripping storytelling, Benjamin Wallace unravels the mystery of Nakamoto's identity while exploring the cultural and financial impact of Bitcoin on the modern world. It's a thrilling, illuminating read. I have long relished Ben Wallace's storytelling talents, and in The Mysterious Mr. Nakamoto, he delivers a tale that is somehow a blend of Agatha Christie and Soren Kierkegaard, unravelling a mystery while also exploring the nature of mystery itself. His search leads us into many dark corners of the nation-state of Bitcoin, a world and its people I was surprised, as a reader who willfully never gave much thought to crypto, to find absolutely mesmerizing. There's enough strangeness and intellectual substance to sustain interest... The thoroughness of Benjamin Wallace's investigation is impressive. He sifts through forum posts and timestamps, teaches himself to write code so that he can scrape old websites for evidence, and employs stylometry to examine both idiosyncrasies of prose and programming mannerisms. Highly enjoyable... an education in the pleasures and pitfalls of investigative journalism. Entertaining ... a useful introduction to one of the century's true riddles This unexpectedly gripping page-turner attempts to get to the bottom of who, exactly, is behind the online identity who invented bitcoin ... Benjamin Wallace's search for that identity takes him on a global odyssey filled with online puzzles, shadowy figures, near-death escapades, and much more.
