Satoshi Nakamoto first started working on the Bitcoin protocol in 2007 when he was 59 years old. As many of you suspected, he didn't work on it alone, but rather received assistance from a few others. His real name is indeed Satoshi Nakamoto.. Bitcoin wasn't meant to be as huge and well established as it today, was more of a quirky "project" at the time, and was actually modeled after the U.S Dollar, but since he meant for it to be entirely virtual, this made it decentralized(Also why Bitcoin is not 100% anonymous aka Public Ledger). He's also Japanese American. He also worked for the United States Military.
Many of you are asking, why didn't/doesn't Satoshi use the vast amount of Bitcoin's he has? Well the answer is simple, he's a modest type of guy, not into being famous, and receiving too much attention.(He does indeed have a Bitcoin account as of right now, though of course none of you know it's him..) Plus he suspected that being in control of that many Bitcoins would devalue his "project" in the eyes of others, particularly when Bitcoin was just released to the public. Besides, he's official "retired" now, and I can assure you, his salary before retirement was well over $100,000. Ftw, retirement fund.
Anyway, that's a small amount of info on Satoshi Nakamoto). You might be interested in where I got this information from. Well let's just say I'm his peer(If you're reading this, you owe me
)
*I also intentionally left out some information, can't tell you guys everything sorry*
Hope this clears up at least some confusion on the subject.
- I've seen one of you ask why I posted this. It's been 5 years since Bitcoin officially came out, I've created threads here and there, always amused at people's "hypothesis" of Nakamoto's real identity. I decided to at least give you guys some direction, the guy isn't a loner, he isn't dead, he's not a alien. He's like everyone else, who was working on a interest of his, that unexpectedly left a big impact on the world.-

Last Update: *Think about it guys, The U.S Dollar isn't backed by anything, neither is Bitcoin. The U.S dollar is distributed annually, he made Bitcoin gain-able through miningwhere Mining difficulty increases to ensure there isn't an overabundance of Bitcoin too fast, just like how the U.S Dollar is distributed, he didn't pick a decentralized currency for the sake of being "anti-government", but because it's the only thing that'd work with an online currency and appeal to new users. A centralized one would put the power in human hands, humans make mistakes..*
I logged back on knowing that many of you would have doubts. Nakamoto is just an acquaintance, we aren't highschool friends or childhood buddies. I just know him on a better than level than a stranger(all of you) would but he is indeed an American Citizen, not s Brit or Australian or whatever else you guys said. The amount of time I've spent speaking to him personally is probably in the under 10 hour range, online and offline. He has a family, and I'm sure much closer friends than I ever was/can be.
Since the the 20th Century, the U.S dollar wasn't backed by gold, and it still isn't, please take time off to research that.
Why would I beg him for Bitcoins? I'm not even sure if he has the same computers that he used to develop Bitcoin in the first place, not to mention it looks bad on my part. I only added in my Bitcoin address Incase you wanted to have an outlet for me clearing up some information on the subject. Thats it.
This will most likely be the last time I log back on this account, just because I'm too busy to spend much time on the forums. "
