Description

This was only ever available as a Kindle Single.  Now, it seems to have vanished from Amazon.

But you needn't worry, there is always TGx.

This is a decent account of one of the first Bitcoin scandals to hit the mainstream media. That being the theft of $473 million in Bitcoin from the Mt Gox Crypto exchange in Japan.  

Anyone that tells you Bitcoin has had it's day plainly needs to educate themselves.  Tip from me, I believe in 60 days it will be time for Bitcoin's "halving".  A process that has always resulted in intense, prolonged  bullish activity on the Bitcoin markets.

Never mind that for now, I had to grab you a review from Goodreads, what happened to Amazon?

A good first read on Bitcoin. The first part of the book gives a nontechnical introduction to Bitcoin while the second recounts the saga of Mt. Gox, the now extinct Bitcoin exchange that was once the largest in the world and that imploded when hackers stole most of its coins. It is a gripping and fascinating tale of theft and spectacular mismanagement. Also present in the book is the entangled relationship between Mt. Gox, Silk Road and law enforcement. Interesting read except for the details on the sex life of Mark Karpeles (the creator of Mt. Gox) that sounded like too much information.

Jake Adelstein

Jake Adelstein has been an investigative journalist in Japan since 1993 and low-ranking Zen Buddhist priest since 2017--and is unlikely to ever achieve satori. That's okay. He's considered one of the foremost experts on organized crime in Japan and works as a writer and consultant in Japan, the United States and France. He is the author of Tokyo Vice: A Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan (Vintage) and has written two other books published by Marchialy in France.
