17 years ago today, Satoshi published nine pages that changed money. Today I'm releasing a novel built around what happened next.

Blockchain Lords: The Battle for Bitcoin asks a simple question: what if the strangest moments in Bitcoin's history weren't accidents? In the book, the whitepaper sets off an alarm in a parallel world twenty years ahead of ours, a world built on blockchains and ruled by a Council of Lords. Bitcoin was invented there once before, by a man who then vanished. Now one faction wants it to succeed here, and one powerful Lord will do anything to stop it. The real milestones are all in there: the Genesis Block, the pizza, the 2010 overflow bug, Satoshi going silent, Silk Road, Mt. Gox, the fork wars, the crashes and the ETFs.

The first chapter is free on the site, no signup: https://blockchainlords.com It's my first novel, and this community is exactly who I wrote it for. Honest feedback welcome.
