About The Crypto Pursuit
As bitcoin’s meteoric rise minted millionaires overnight, one stolen fortune is pursued with a bloody passion.
After robbing a dark net marketplace for over $2.5 million worth of bitcoin in 2014, Aaron Aldridge sees an opportunity to uplift his family from poverty. He cashes out on part of the crypto hoard and then saves the rest by transcribing the wallet’s private key onto his favorite vinyl record in invisible ink.
Yet when the operator of the site retaliates, Aaron races home to find his mother killed and the FBI awaiting to arrest him for an unrelated crime. Sent off to federal prison, the record ultimately disappears, no one knowing it’s true value.
Trying to process the consequences of his greed while in prison, he almost forgets about the record until a surge of interest pushes bitcoin’s value to a record high, skyrocketing the wallet’s value above $100 million. Determined to do something positive with the money, Aaron is released from prison and embarks on a pursuit for the record—yet he’s far from alone.

Author Bio:
KryptoKid is an underground crime-fiction writer whose prolific storytelling has recently garnered a lot of buzz because of his immersive and unique plots, clever use of humor, and phenomenal ability to transport readers into entirely new worlds.
A reformed cyber-criminal, KryptoKid taps into his past experiences within the criminal underworld to share stories that reflect our new age of high-tech crime. Delving into everything from the dark net and crypto currency to corporate espionage and ransomware, he simplifies high-tech concepts so the focus can remain on the story itself.
While most crime-fiction writers craft stories that are pro-prosecutor and pro-cop, KryptoKid intentionally chooses to be pro-justice and pro-truth. He understands that no aspect of humanity is black and white; there is often a grey area that should be further explored. Laws, and therefore crime, is only a matter of perception—in constant evolution to the values and beliefs of a society.
Although this is a foundational attribute to his writing, many fans simply prefer KryptoKid’s style over other authors because it is fast-paced, easy to read, and completely enthralling. Either way, he hopes to return to society in early 2024.
