Satoshi No No

What would you do if you became an instant Bitcoin billionaire?

If you were the inventor of Bitcoin, you'd simply disappear. In 2008, he invented the world's first digital cryptocurrency, publishing his seminal paper under the fake name "Satoshi Nakamoto." For the next two years, he built an open source team to develop the Bitcoin software. Since then, bitcoin has grown in value exponentially as people worldwide have realized that its fundamental design is reliable and resistant to government control.

Most of Satoshi's coins, now worth billions of dollars, are still there, sitting in his digital wallet, and haven't been spent. But why? Who was behind the mysterious Satoshi pseudonym? Why did he launch this digital money revolution? And where has he gone?

Chip is an IT worker with a cloud services company in Boston. His job is tedious and boring. On the rare occasions when he is allowed to show initiative or excellence, his manager drags him back down to Earth. One day, Chip makes a chance discovery that will change his life. He finds a hard drive containing the key to the bitcoin genesis block - the key to Satoshi's fortune, and possibly his true identity.

But bitcoin is not completely anonymous; there are ways to track each transaction. And now, Chip has caught the attention of many powerful people - some curious, and some sinister.
