The world's financial future hangs in the balance.
The Satoshi Key
The greatest treasure the world has ever known. The key hidden in plain sight. A race to protect the future.
About the book
In 2008, the elusive Satoshi Nakamoto introduced the Bitcoin protocol, igniting a global financial revolution. Just three years later, Nakamoto disappeared, taking with him (or her, or them) the key to one of the greatest treasures in history, currently worth over $100 billion dollars. For over a decade, this tantalizing but untouchable fortune has remained beyond reach. Until now.
John Grant, a young father drowning in medical debt from his newborn daughter’s illness, is thrust into a world he barely understands after being entrusted with a mysterious thumb drive. When he’s contacted by the long-dormant Satoshi Nakamoto, John discovers the drive may hold the key to unlocking Bitcoin’s legendary treasure. But John also draws the attention of a shadowy international multi-millionaire who claims to be Bitcoin’s true creator and rightful heir to the fortune.
Guided by cryptic messages from Satoshi, John must navigate a treacherous landscape of murderous impostors, covert organizations, and secret societies while deciphering clues tied to Bitcoin’s short but dynamic history. As he journeys from the streets of Chicago to the historically clandestine Los Alamos National Laboratory, John uncovers not only the treasure’s secrets but also Satoshi’s motivations and Bitcoin’s transformative potential for modern society.
Note: Satoshi Nakamoto is a real person or persons with an unknown identity. This is a work of fiction.
To find the key, one must prove their worth: intent, knowledge, and readiness to take on such responsibility. This treasure holds immense power, not only in wealth, but also the power to influence Bitcoin’s growth.

He gave a deep sigh of relief. It was finished. He pulled the hood of his sweatshirt up onto his head. At this high of an elevation, the nights cooled off quickly once the sun went down. He smiled to himself, because this was exactly how he’d seen himself depicted in countless online forums and newspaper articles. To the outside world, he was a mysterious man in a hood and dark sunglasses. He didn’t like being portrayed as a shadowy deviant, but it was absolutely necessary he maintained his anonymity. The creation he had just unleashed upon the world made him a marked man.
