The Origin of Bitcoin
It was 5am on a crisp November day in a small village outside Shizuoka, Japan. Prince Saionji Kinmochi slowly awoke from an unsettled sleep. His body felt heavier than usual, his bones weaker and his mind somewhat clouded. Over the past month he had been dreaming of his impending death. Deep within himself he knew this was a premonition. Although he had no fear of death, still he was filled with a sense of grief and loss. He knew that he would never again see a spring of pink cherry blossoms or feel the warmth of the summer sun upon his skin. This thought evoked a deep sadness that threatened to flood his heart as well as his eyes.

Friends and Money Can Mix
Part 1 It happened once a year. The day that Darnell Jones was able to go out and get loose with his boys. He looked forward to this day with anticipation each of the 191 days that preceded it. It was a chance to forget about the stresses of work and home life and relax. Since he and his friends were born during the same month, just days apart, why not make a big deal of it every year; for the last 15 years? Each year they picked a new destination they had never been, this year was Alaska. It was stifling hot in Tennessee this time of year, most days well over ninety degrees. They opted for a place where the weather was much milder for a July celebration and hopefully one with a breeze.

The Fall of Benjamin Duke
You’re probably wondering, “Daniel… where’s the dirt you promised us? You said you know who Satoshi Nakamoto is. I don’t understand.” To that I say: trust me. All will become clear. Yes, you read the title correctly. And no, Benjamin Duke isn’t one of the main suspects. In fact, he isn’t a suspect at all. The true identity of Nakamoto has been the subject of much debate for many years. Countless imposters have tried and failed to convince the public. Craig Wright, for instance, still claims to be part of a team that created Bitcoin and the famous pseudonym to this day.

Genesis Block Zero
Satoshi Nakamoto was never looking to get rich, he did however intend to live forever. Indeed, his formal scheme to ensure the downfall of physical currency, and prevent the future enslavement of the human race was cunning... but that was just part of the plan. Like grains of sand in an hourglass, his mind was already uploading itself to the network. His shaved scalp pulsating, where the team of neurosurgeons had implanted the tubature connecting his brain electronically to the rows of servers, that sat humming behind his reclined stretcher bed- this would be his new domain. Upon completion of the digital duplication of his consciousness, he would become completely sentient inside the network of machines around him. The densest portion of his self image would take shape, without all of the flaws of the human corporeal condition. He would be the first transhumanist to achieve complete digitization. This of course, was assuming that human beings did not have souls.
