The collection of writings from the creator of bitcoin

---

Have you, like the rest of the world, speculated about the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous creator of bitcoin?

The world's first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin went live in 2009 and has since revolutionized our concepts of currency and money. Not backed by a government or central bank, and entirely electronic, Bitcoin is a virtual currency based on advanced cryptographic systems.

Like the currency he created, the identity of Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, is virtual and exists only online. Nakamoto’s persona, which can represent an individual or a group, exists only in the online publications that introduced and explained Bitcoin in its early days. Here, collected and professionally published for the first time, are the essential writings that detail Bitcoin’s creation:
- Satoshi Nakamoto's emails and messages on crypto forums, presented in chronological order
- The technical basics of bitcoin presented in simple terms;
- The potential and economic implications of bitcoin;
- The founding article that started it all: the white paper

The Book of Satoshi offers a convenient way to browse what the creator of Bitcoin wrote during the two years that constituted his "public life" before disappearing from the Internet…

Nakamoto's true identity may never be known. Therefore, the writings reproduced here are probably Satoshi's only public interventions regarding the creation, operation, and theoretical basis of Bitcoin. Want to learn more about Bitcoin?
