On January 3, 2009, a certain Satoshi Nakamoto launched bitcoin, the very first decentralized and reliable cryptocurrency. In 2011, he vanished into thin air. Since then, Satoshi Nakamoto remains anonymous and his identity is subject to the wildest theories. All the investigations that purported to identify him have failed. However, in 12 years the value of bitcoin has soared from $0.001 to $60,000 at its peak, and everyone from governments to large corporations is now interested. Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? How did his invention become so popular? What does Bitcoin tell us about the world we live in?
