That book so brilliantly covered the pre-Satoshi crypto world. I love that book, which has so many interesting stories about the history of computers and the impact of technology. I always thought there should be more consideration of whether that book's author, Neal Stephenson, could have been involved in the Satoshi saga.

I’m a big fan of his work, but now that you mention it, the story of cryptocurrency in our timeline does have a Stephensonesque quality to it: brilliant world building at the start, a wild ride in the middle, and a messy and controversial ending at the finish.
