Chip Off The 'Ole Blockchain
Prodigy programmer Satoshi Nakamoto came from a low-class demanding, foreign, problematic family with the weight of the world on his shoulders. Even as a child he continues impressing the closest people around him as he grows to be a determined genius with the right motive and intelligence level to solve any technical issue he has ever come across. Through the roof IQ. As early adulthood approached his quiet and polite mumble-prone personality, shut him out of any relationships, or even friendships for that matter. When most people his age, were partying, he bottled himself in a cave-like room in the bottom of his parents' house he called it the dungeon, and slave studied multiple levels of programming and mastered each category until he could write code in every known possible computer language. The possibilities for him were endless, his success seemed inevitable. Like an underground ghost genius from a family where it was up to the oldest son to break the chain of failure, and his parents took that wholeheartedly. With the pressure of multiple generations of failure, can he turn a piece of coal into a diamond?

So, it’s about 11am in the morning of a particular day during the period of the first wave of the Covid-19 Virus Pandemic, and I get this ride request from my Uber driving app to pick up and drop off a passenger in a popular place around Harrisburg – Pennsylvania here in the United States called Lemoyne.

Substitute Actor
My little black book story focuses on Johnny Jackson III, an underpaid and overworked millennial living in sunny Los Angeles. He's a bay area native. From 2009 to 2013, he attended a prestigious private university in Southern California. After changing his college major three times, Johnny graduated with a Bachelor's in Communication. And $100,000 in student loan debt. He told everyone he met about his dreams of being a big-time Hollywood actor. He admired the charismatic leading men who effortlessly graced the silver screen. As of late 2014, he's working as a substitute teacher between acting gigs. During the day, he taught unruly grade school students. At night, he watched countless hours of film and participated in free improv classes. He was very popular in the class, but his instructor believed he should pay for paid acting classes. As an actor, he was entertaining, but he had no emotional depth. Johnny is handsome and self-absorbed. He had a little black book filled with notes about the women he dated. He wanted to publish a book about his dating history and sell the movie rights for millions of dollars.

The Worth and Wealth of an Idea
The doors to the street opened. The rush of traffic buzzed. Endless streams of honking, muffled by the shuffling sounds of city life. Tony reached into his pocket for his lighter. Lighting his cigarette, he let out a gut-wrenching sigh, staring up at the sky asking the proverbial, “Why me?”

A Letter From a Hacker
Dear Satoshi, Your dox, passwords and IP addresses are being sold on the darknet. Apparently, you didn’t configure Tor properly and your IP leaked when you used your email account sometime in 2010. You are not safe. You need to get out of where you are as soon as possible before these people harm you.

Barlton & Company
The first trillionaire, Casey Barlton, with an alabaster smile and sharp, almost bony features, sat at his computer in his studio apartment in Wilmington, Delaware, eating a bowl of cereal, his blue-black skin illuminated by the monitor’s glow.

The Blockchain Stallion
In Dover, Delaware, in 2008, a silver van with the words “Teach to Grow” pulled up to the home of fifteen-year-old Greg Gallo. Out of it emerged the teenager. He had autism. He could speak six different languages and had memorized sections of Shakespeare, but he had trouble making eye contact while he spoke to other people. Instead he would sit at his computer looking at his hands, hands that were typing an entire network of cryptocurrency known as Bitcoin.

Bitcoin And An Incredible Story: Why We Don't Know Who Created The World's Most Important Digital Currency
He is Satoshi Nakamoto, who published a white paper in 2009 in which he described the characteristics that a "purely digital version of electronic money" should have, which he called Bitcoin. "It is one of the most important works of computer science in the last 20 or 30 years," does not hesitate to define Jack Dorsey, CEO and founder of Twitter, who describes that document as "poetry".

Who Created Bitcoin and Why?
What is Bitcoin? Obviously joking here. If you are not familiar with the most popular cryptocurrency, you must be quite disconnected from the world. Which is not a bad thing in all fairness given everything that is happening (Covid-19 much?). But c'mon man, as Joe Biden would say, even your grandma has heard of Bitcoin. It is insanely popular these days. Everybody is talking about it. From TikTok teenagers (and their bad personal advice) to BlackRock executives. You cannot just ignore it any more. For those of us that have been close to the crypto markets since the early days, it has been a dramatic rise. Even more dramatic if you were here when Bitcoin was below $100 and did not buy into it. But is that worse than having bought into it and losing access to your wallet? That’s debatable. But maybe with the recent price rally, you are just wondering: what’s going on with Bitcoin? And you might also be thinking: who created Bitcoin and why?
