#101 Mythen über Bitcoin und Satoshi Nakamoto (German edition)

#101 Mythen über Bitcoin und Satoshi Nakamoto is S.N. Carver's non-fiction book that dissects the most persistent misconceptions about Bitcoin one by one – from the tulip bubble and the boiling ocean to the quantum apocalypse.

About the book

On 31 October 2008, a nine-page document appeared on a mailing list for cryptography experts: the blueprint for electronic money that needs neither banks nor governments. Its author remained a ghost. Since then, a dense web of half-truths, scaremongering and headlines has grown around Bitcoin. This book takes on 101 of them and separates the facts from the noise.

Among the questions it explores: What is actually known about Satoshi Nakamoto's identity? How secure is the network technically? Why are there exactly 21 million bitcoin? And how can you tell where a media narrative ends and the blockchain begins? Every myth follows the same structure: the myth itself, its origin, a deep dive, the reality and a conclusion.

About the author

S.N. Carver tells the Bitcoin story twice: as non-fiction here, and as a thriller in “Der Code der Freiheit – Satoshis Vermächtnis”, set in the days before the Genesis Block.
