How I Invented Bitcoin

Fictional book about Satoshi's journey of inventing Bitcoin

How Satoshi built Bitcoin

We have several books explaining what is Bitcoin and how it works.

However I want to go beyond that. I want people to learn how Satoshi built Bitcoin. Back in 2008 when there was no such thing as Bitcoin, Satoshi must have spent years trying to figure out how to go about building a new form of money which no one can control.

Why did he pick a Peer-to-Peer network?

Why did he pick Proof-of-Work?

and several other design decisions.

Bitcoin white paper does a good job of explaining how these things work together but doesn’t explain how Satoshi figured it all out.

I want to put You, the reader in Satoshi’s mind as he worked on this problem and solved them.

1. Why did He build Bitcoin?

Having the intelligence to build Bitcoin is one thing but why did he go through all the trouble to build it? He must have spent years of his life on this project.

Satoshi didn’t do it for money. He hasn’t spent a single bitcoin.

I believe Satoshi invented Bitcoin to free humanity. We are all slaves to bankers and politicians. Usury is a sin.

Satoshi invented Bitcoin to free us all.

In my book we will learn the different people he met and the incidents which happened in his life. Together they launched him on a journey to invent Bitcoin.

2. Why a fictional book?

Stories are powerful.

Economics can be a dry and boring subject. You can try to explain to normies how banks enslave us via “fractional reserve banking” but they will fall asleep.

That’s why I am writing a sci-fi book with lots of action. Something you can perhaps one day watch on Netflix.

3. Be warned. This book will be controversial.

I have spent a lot of time thinking about what kind of man Satoshi was. He was no ordinary man. Normies don’t make history. He was unconventional in some ways.

My version of Satoshi will make even the most ardent Bitcoin Maxis raise their eyebrows but in a meaningful way. No cheap gimmicks.

4. Why this substack?

I have been thinking about this book for over a year. I have finalized the ending and the main characters/story.

I have started writing scenes which will be in the book. I would love to get feedback from Bitcoiners. Especially the parts where Satoshi starts building Bitcoin. I am an Engineer so I have a good grasp on how Bitcoin works and I want to convey it in an easy, interesting and accurate manner so that even normies can understand it.

5. What kind of book will it be?

Sci-fi, thriller, action, mystery, adventure.
