How Crypto Scammed The World

Someone invented a currency worth trillions of dollars. Then they vanished without a trace.

In October 2008, a paper appeared online that would change the world. "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System," written by someone called Satoshi Nakamoto. Shortly after, Nakamoto posted on a message board: "I've developed a new open-source P2P e-cash system called Bitcoin." Then they invited people to try it. Obviously, they did.

Bitcoin went on to become one of the most disruptive inventions in modern history. It created millionaires overnight, crashed economies, sparked revolutions, and rewrote the rules of money itself.

But here's the part that still keeps people up at night. Nobody knows who created it.

Satoshi Nakamoto is an alias. Someone real wrote the code, published the paper, sent the emails, and made the forum posts. Then one day, they simply disappeared. No interview. No reveal. No cashing in on a fortune estimated at over $40 billion.

This episode investigates the greatest mystery in modern technology. Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? Why did they disappear? And what kind of person creates something that changes the entire world and then walks away from it?

🎧 Part tech history, part detective story, part philosophical puzzle. This one has it all.
