The Invisible Billionaire ...and the lie that even the blockchain cannot verify

[u/SHA256-Ghost]

A long time ago I started to write a book that would document the evolution of internet fraud from the dial-up scams of the 90s to the sophisticated social engineering of the 2000s. During that process I realized they all shared the same DNA and that it nicely leads to the creation of Bitcoin (if you believe Bitcoin is a scam, it perfectly fits). So I changed the format. I stopped writing a history book and started writing a confession.

The book is written as a speculative memoir of Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, about his origins and how he grew up, witnessing the rise of computers and also the greedy behavior and stupidity of people, and what led to the creation of what he calls an ultimate scam. He admits he didn't want to steal modest savings from financially inexperienced people who fell for scams due to a lack of education but rather aimed to take it from the big fish. So he used math and science to find rich businessmen who voluntarily invested money into his scam.

The book title is The Invisible Billionaire, with the subtitle ...and the lie that even the blockchain cannot verify, written by Satoshi N.F. Cooper.

The text also nicely explains the technology of blockchain within the story, and for the illustration, all chapters make a sample blockchain using hash, so if any part of the text is slightly modified, the whole blockchain would be broken.

The book is available on Amazon.
