The Devil Takes Bitcoin -...

Jake Adelstein, Nathalie Stucky

From the author of Tokyo Vice comes the wild, true story of cyber-era commerce, crime, cold-hard cash, and one of the greatest heists in history. 
 
Even in hell, Bitcoin talks. This modern take on an old Japanese saying still holds true. Cryptocurrency was supposed to do for money what the internet did for information, but it didn't work out that way. Its virtual existence unleashed real-world chaos―especially in the homeland of its mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Tokyo was the center of the world's largest Bitcoin exchange, Mt. Gox, until that company collapsed with nearly half a billion dollars' worth of Bitcoin gone missing. It might be the greatest heist in history. If it was a heist. 
 
So what really happened? The Devil Takes Bitcoin tells the true story of the humble-to-hot commodity, from the former geek website that launched the boom to an inside world of absent-minded CEOs, hucksters, hackers, cybercrooks, drug dealers, corrupt federal agents, evangelical libertarians, and clueless techies. You'll discover Bitcoin's connection to the infamous Silk Road, learn why hell has nothing on Japan's criminal justice system, and get the lowdown on the high cost of betting with the Devil's dollars. All of this for less than the price of a single Bitcoin.

Alternative Dimensions & the...

Martin K. Ettington

In this book the theory of multiverses, ancient cultures which came from other dimensions, dimensional shifting testimonies, and a lot more are included for your review and discussion. 
The Multiverse was proposed long ago by the ancient Greeks. In modern times this subject has become very active among physicists. There is also some real modern evidence that the Multiverse exists. 
My curiosity about alternative dimensions is the result of research for my first book on ancient Ireland which recorded that the Tutha Da Dannan (forebears of the Elves and Druids) who came from “The Otherworld”. 
I have also collected many testimonies and stories about people who experienced dimensional shifts which appear in this book too. 
It is also possible that many reports of Bigfoot, Thunderbirds, Dragons, and more all also tied up in the potential reality of the Multiverse. 
After reading this book you may become convinced that the multiverse really exists and this would explain many of the strange events in our lives. The world we live in is a much stranger place than most of us would believe.
