No one said anything about Bitcoin, and obviously the book doesn't refer to it as it was written in the 90's. It's a fictional story, but half of it has turned out to be prophetic so far.

It's about this supposedly hidden gold (in the Philippines) and cryptocurrency, written in 1999.
Doesn't sound possible.
It also has drugs, rock n roll, and gay nazis. Available on Amazon, Audible, and all good book stores.
