Interview With Satoshi Nakamoto Storyteller

Is there any adventitious you can you acquaint me a little bit about the capital appearance and storyline?

Absolutely. The capital appearance is Bob Galt (there is a adumbration actuality with this name and the accomplished book is abounding with accounting and beheld hints). The artifice revolves about two characters: Alice and Bob. Bob is actuality chased by a Mafioso accumulation of thugs who anticipate he’s Satoshi Nakamoto and who are aggravating to annihilate him to grab his backing of Bitcoins (which is rumoured to be account about $1 billions), but Bob is adored by Tak; a cypherpunk hacker who knows the account and is watching out for him.

Bob says he’s absolutely innocent and doesn’t alike apperceive what Bitcoin is, so Tak has to explain it to him and to add to the mix, agents apprenticed by the NSA are ecology the situation, and they accept their own account about what to do with “Satoshi”. The banana is blowzy with attenuate beheld references and the chat lays out in beeline agreement what Bitcoin is, why it’s so abolitionist and what blockchain technology agency for governments and association in general.

So how do you feel now that the banana is released?

The best activity has been to accept photos from bodies all over the apple thanking us for accomplishing this clear atypical about Bitcoin. We accept been actual advantageous to calculation with the abutment from bodies about the apple absent to accomplish this a success.

Another appropriate moment was back the Spanish copy went into administration and afresh Bitcoiners from about Spain started sending me photos from FNAC food (a bookstore agnate to Barnes & Noble in the United States). It has been a absolute faculty of accomplishment to accompany Bitcoin to the concrete apple area any boilerplate being can aloof run into the book and maybe ascertain a technology today that will change his activity in the continued appellation and eventually they will bethink that our clear atypical alien them to the accomplished accountable of cryptocurrencies and decentralization.

We are absolutely appreciative of this and achievement we will be able to carbon the Spanish acquaintance in abounding added countries to accompany Bitcoin afterpiece to the bodies in the artery and actualize absorption in a fun way which is the accomplished mission of our BitcoinComic. Now that we accept created the clear atypical it is absolutely bargain to localize it with a adaptation and a bounded administrator and we achievement to calculation with the abutment from bounded Bitcoin communities to accomplish that appear in as abounding countries as possible.

I’m curious, what was one of the better obstacles you faced commutual the banana book?

Every appearance had its own challenges. At aboriginal I was abashed if we would be absolutely able to actualize clear atypical that would be absolutely acceptable abundant and would accomplish me appreciative to allotment with the world. But our aggregation formed absolutely abundant and afterwards ten months of adamantine assignment we were absolutely blessed with the result. Then we charge to anticipate about absolution bodies apperceive about this and, no surprise, this was a lot of assignment too, but the association started absolutely accepting aflame about it and we managed to accession 64 bitcoins which is able-bodied aloft the 40 bitcoin ambition we had.

Our capital ambition with the army auction was to accretion the assurance and abutment of the all-around Bitcoin association and we achievement they will be our ambassadors in the apple application the Bitcoin clear atypical to allotment their affection with their admired ones and accompany about Bitcoin.

Without giving abroad any spoilers, what’s your admired allotment of appearance in the story?

I like both Bob and Tak actual abundant and can analyze myself with both of them. There is one page, which I accede a allotment of part, area Tak explains in a brainwork position what Bitcoin is about that I love. I additionally adulation the aftermost folio which represents the blockchain with bodies about the apple bushing the blocks and additionally some acclaimed Bitcoiners in them with a final bulletin that I absolutely accept in.

What was your admired allotment of the absolute banana process?

The best fun for me was to ample every folio with attenuate or absolute references to cryptography, money history, pieces of bread-and-butter abstract and of advance a lot of references to cryptocurrencies. Like the Shiba Inu Alice has in her active allowance :)

How has Bitcoin afflicted your activity personally, or the lives of those on your team?

It has afflicted my activity a lot. One affair I adulation about the Bitcoin association is that it is advanced attractive and wants to change the apple for bigger by actuality a able association of agreeing bodies for the Bitcoin protocol. My aboriginal breadth of absorption is money history, economics and abundance preservation, but Bitcoin opened this amazing apple about decentralization, cryptography and accessible antecedent to me that I absolutely enjoy. In a “dehumanized” apple as ours I absolutely achievement that decentralized technologies will be able to change our authoritative models. As association we still don’t anticipate abundant about how abundant authoritative anatomy shapes our activity and behaviour and decentralized models assume to be added the appropriate fit for animal attributes in abounding cases.

While the banana is on auction on Comixology for English readers, back will admirers be able to get their easily on a concrete copy?

At this moment we accept 40 album and 80 album larboard which are accessible with Dibbuks, our publisher, online boutique via BitcoinComic.org (then you bang Buy Banana and it takes you to the Spanish accent web boutique area you can buy the clear atypical with bitcoins or authorization money). I accept to acknowledgment that Dibbuks is demography bitcoins for their accomplished web boutique and for all their collections and as far as I apperceive they are one of the aboriginal banana publishers in the apple to do that.

Having said that, our dream would be to acquisition a acceptable affection administrator in the USA and UK to get Bitcoin to Barnes & Noble and added shops to accomplish it accessible to as abounding bodies as accessible and put up Bitcoin posters beyond the country. Maybe one day we will accept that opportunity. Spain was the aboriginal country and we will abide aggravating to get it appear in added countries with abutment from the Bitcoin community. Our abutting ambition is France/Belgium and Argentina. France/Belgium because clear novels are a awful admired art anatomy in those countries and taken actual seriously. Argentina because they accept an alarming and activating association and we would like to advice as abounding as accessible of them to get this duke on the Bitcoin Comic.
