Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?

We Look at The Possible Candidates


Bitcoin was conceived as a communal project. Designed as an open-source software and released to the public in 2009, Bitcoin was conceived with openness in mind. Functioning on an open ledger that is accessible to the public, Bitcoin is an open-source project. But for all its openness, one grand mystery remains unsolved:

Who Created Bitcoin and Who exactly is Satoshi Nakamoto?

Satoshi was heavily involved with the Bitcoin community, and collaborated with them in order to modify the underlying bitcoin protocol. After two years of involvement, Nakamoto handed the reins to Gavin Andresen, and seized involvement with the Bitcoin project in December of 2010. Then, in the Spring of 2011, Nakamoto returned to leave a final message, stating in a post that he had “moved on to other things,” and that Bitcoin was “in good hands with Gavin [Andresen] and everyone.” That was the last the world heard of the secretive Bitcoin creator.

The mystery behind Nakamoto’s identity has only grown, as the Bitcoin community eagerly speculates who it could potentially be. Satoshi Nakamoto claims to be Japanese, born on April 5, 1975. It is unknown whether Nakamoto is male or female, or whether Nakamoto is even a single person or a group of individuals.

Is He British?

While Nakamoto’s identity remains unknown, This has not stopped enthusiasts from investigating his background and drawing up conclusions. Nakamoto’s use of perfect English in his posts and his publication of the White Paper has raised skepticism as to his Japanese origin. Furthermore, his occasional use of British English in the code and comments has fueled speculation that he is a native English speaker of commonwealth origin. Additionally, Stefan Thomas, a Swiss coder and active member in the Bitcoin community, graphed the time stamps of Nakamoto’s more than 500 posts, showing his or her complete absence of posts between midnight am and 6 am Greenwich Time, further informing investigators as to his potential whereabouts.

Nick Szabo

To date, there are several potential individuals suspected of being the mysterious Bitcoin creator. One of the first suggestions was Nick Szabo, a decentralized currency enthusiast who published a paper on “bit gold” considered to be a precursor to the first cryptocurrency. Running a reverse textual analysis, internet researcher Skye Grey found dozens of unique phrases that linked Szabo’s writing style to that of the original White Paper. This evidence is only circumstantial, however, and Szabo has repeatedly denied that he is the creator of Bitcoin.

Nakamoto

Another possibility is a Japanese American man living in California, named Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto, birth name Satoshi Nakamoto. First brought up in a March 2014 Newsweek article, Leah McGrath Goodman pointed to Nakamoto’s training as a physicist at Cal Poly University in Pomona and libertarian background as potential indicators of his identity. Her biggest piece of evidence was his response to a question regarding Bitcoin: “I am no longer involved in that and I cannot discuss it. It’s been turned over to other people. They are in charge of it now. I no longer have any connection.” This led to a wild media frenzy, which even included a car chase. However, in a later interview, he recanted his previous position, stating that he had misunderstood the reporter’s question, thinking it was related to his previous classified work as a military contractor.

Hal Finney

Hal Finney is another potential candidate to be the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto. Finney was a pre-bitcoin cryptographic pioneer and was only the second person – after Nakamoto himself – to make use of the software, file bug reports, and suggest improvements.

Furthermore, he was the first to ever receive Bitcoin, stating in an interview that “ [he] was the recipient of the first bitcoin transaction, when Satoshi sent ten coins to [him] as a test.”

Forbes journalist Andy Greenberg speculated after requesting aid from writing analysis consultancy Juola & Associates that Greenberg may have been the ghostwriter for Satoshi Nakamoto. Further adding to the speculation that Finney was involved with the creation of Bitcoin was his correspondence with the aforementioned Nick Szabo, and the fact that he lived only blocks apart from Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto. At the time of his death on August 28, 2014, only circumstantial evidence pointed to Hal Finney being the original Satoshi Nakamoto.


Craig Wright

Yet another possible contender to be Satoshi Nakamoto is the Australian academic, computer engineering expert, and entrepreneur, Craig Wright. In early November of 2015, Gizmodo received an anonymous email from an individual stating that not only did he know that Craig Wright was the creator of Bitcoin, but that he had also worked for him. On December 9, hours after Wired certified that Wright was indeed Nakamoto, the Australian Federal Police raided his home, and afterwards stating the “[the] matter is unrelated to recent media reporting regarding the digital currency Bitcoin.” Afterwards, Wright deleted his internet presence until May of 2016, when he stepped forward and revealed himself on Twitter as the creator of the digital currency Bitcoin, and claimed he had the proof to back up his statement. Then, amid a torrent of skepticism, Wright retracted his statement and did not offer the “extraordinary proof” he claimed to have, stating that he did “not have the courage” to prove his identity.

Satoshi Nakamoto Net Worth

In an era where information is widespread, Satoshi Nakamoto has managed to maintain his identity a complete secret. So why is uncovering Nakamoto’s identity so important? If Nakamoto is indeed a single individual, then he or she owns approximately 5% of the world’s Bitcoin supply, placing him or her as the 52nd richest person in the world as of December 12th14.

The implications of this wealth are considerable, beyond even the real world implications. If Satoshi Nakamoto were ever to sell the rumored 980,000 Bitcoins in his or her possession ( currently worth over $16 billion at today’s price, as of 5th Jan 2018 ), the price of Bitcoin could potentially become more volatile than it already is.

The Scaling Debate

Furthermore, there is significant debate as to the future of Bitcoin. Heated discussions have arisen due to some of the growing pains surrounding Bitcoin, particularly the issue of how to deal with an increase in transaction volume in the Bitcoin network. As the number of blocks increases, the Bitcoin network runs the risk of becoming overloaded. One side of the debate wants to fundamentally change the Bitcoin node by increasing the block size, in order to allow the system to process transactions more quickly. The other side of the debate sees this as a betrayal of the original concept behind Bitcoin, arguing that this would lead to increased centralization. Identifying Bitcoin’s true creator would create more certainty and could potentially lay down the following steps in Bitcoin’s ever growing development.

Conclusion

Ultimately, identifying Bitcoin’s creator may be a quixotic endeavor. His or her complete silence since the Spring of 2011 means it is likely we will never hear from them again. Nevertheless, Bitcoin, the open source digital currency created nearly a decade ago, will continue to in spite of this mystery. The Bitcoin community will be forced to coexist with the enigma that is Satoshi Nakamoto, for the better or for the worst.

For me Satoshi Nakamoto is a great person/inventor although his identity is unknown! he is good person because he helped the world.

You forgot the sub-sub scenarios, the branching scenarios, alternate scenarios, and possible mixed, merged, and parallel scenarios.  The Satoshi conspiracy theories never end and never get tired.  Someone always comes up with a new one.

Almost 10 years have passed and we haven't seen any evidence to prove that Satoshi Nakamoto is alive. I don't know what happened to him, but the chances that he will come back some time in the future is close to zero. I am 90% sure that this individual is no longer alive.

OMG  don't you know? He's the time traveller who predict everything gonna happen in the future aka Charlie Lee that sometimes inpersonate Elon Musk and also the one who hack twitter account of John McAffee...don't ask too much coz he's watching us and know everything because he's NASA and use by Feds and IRS!


pssst...he's an alien!

I hate to disagree but Satoshi Nakamoto is a single person, because if "he" is a groups of organization, then probably they are easily to find, but the truth is not. I'm not 100% sure about this but satoshi nakamoto is just a man, that is why he vanished into thin air because he knows that bitcoin would be this famous for him to hide his identity for his own good, you know this world, if someone envies your work too much, they will do anything just to extract every important important information to yours before they kill you, something like that.

Yes I'm sure so, bitcoin is a very complicated and complex thing that can not be made just one head, I'm sure there are at least 10 people who make bitcoin and Mr. Nakamoto is a great actor who is not alone.

Yes Satoshi Nakamoto is the creator of both blockchain system and Bitcoin . He's the most impact man of the developments of the cryptocurrencies.
I think he should be honnor in the top Time 100 because he actually invented a new world which could bring to us a new bring future. But unfortunately , he wants to stay at anonymous and till now noone know about the real identify of Satoshi.

Undoubtedly, this is a great thing for everyone. Some businessman said that most of the times people will make some business to earn but didnt they know what really matters was how that business will going to help other people to lessen the burden that something causes them, and I think thats one of the factor why satoshi invented this, I hope he will come along sooner to give back the effort that he have done to everybody, and also to prevent the upcoming scarcity of Bitcoin to the people.

i think Satoshi Nakamoto is the creator of bitcoin and i think Satoshi Nakamoto is the first creator of blackchain. this is my only opinion.

I don't think he is a single person. Must be groups of big Powerful organization.

I have researched on google but as others say it is really hard to find out if Satoshi Nakamoto is a real person or a code name for many companies who have to build the fundamentals of altcoin and use Satoshi Nakamoto as code for their project.

Well if you create something as great as bitcoin, you will most likely keep as much as many bitcoin in your possession. And remember that one major feature of bitcoin is anonymity. With the value of this innovation, it comes with a catch. That is people with bad intentions may come after you. So if I was Satoshi Nakamoto, I will definitely do the same thing as hiding and watching my own innovation work, in the backstage.

Whoever this Satoshi Nakamoto is, one person or team is just brilliant people (person), the idea of creating a cryptocurrency is simply amazing. I hope someday we will know the real creator.

I think, if Satoshi Nakamoto was a single person, he was Hal Finney. I think it’s even more likely that “Satoshi Nakamoto” was more than one person. And I still think Hal Finney was part of that group. With Hal gone, I don’t know that we’ll ever get much more information.

Satoshi was just a regular guy. But he was contacted by an intergalactic corporation of investment trader-time lords to create Bitcoin to ramp up the production of the ASICS required to decode the cryptographic message being beamed to Earth in the form of solar rays from the great incubator & information seeder we know as "the sun." Hal is frozen at Alcor right now but he'll be revived approximately the same time we've got enough cryptographic power to break the message and formally receive our invitation, and he (Satoshi Nakamoto) will sign a message from the genesis block and become our world's delegate to the confederacy. Why? The trader-time lords desperately needed more systems to add to the cosmic blockchain for decentralization of the universe, so they made the sun and waited about 5 billion years, but that's nothing for intergalactic trader-time lords.

The first theory - Nick Szabo

At the end of 2013, a researcher named Skye Gray conducted a stylometric analysis of how to construct the statements published so far on online forums by the legendary Satoshi and compared it with the style used by the cryptographer, scientist and lecturer Nick Szabo mentioned at the beginning of the book. His style not only corresponded to the profile of the text, but as we remember, in 1998, Nick published a scientific concept describing the idea of ​​a decentralized currency based on cryptography called bit gold, which is considered the precursor of bitcoin. This project has never been implemented. Interestingly, Satoshi had to know about this work, and yet in his document being the basis for the creation of Bitcoin, he did not quote and did not refer in any way to the work of Szabo. After the publication of Nathaniel Popper in the New York Times indicating that any circumstantial evidence of Nakamoto leads to the Hungarian Nick Szabo, he thanked for recognition and in a short e-mail strongly denied these theories, suggesting that he was slowly used to the fact that in terms of identity Nakamoto is always the first suspect.

The second theory - Dorian Nakamoto

In March 2014, in an article published in Newsweek, journalist Leah McGrath Goodman pointed out that the legendary Satoshi Nakamoto may be a physicist living in California, an American of Japanese descent bearing the same name - Dorian Nakamoto. This would indicate a lot of objective facts, such as the fact that Dorian worked as an engineer in the implementation of secret military projects, did not hide with libertarian views, and asked directly if he was Satoshi said that "more does not deal with this and the project was passed to other people "5. This caused a huge wave of interest in his person and pilgrimage of journalists to Dorian's house, completely ruining his private life.

In the next interview, an advanced age Dorian said he had never heard of bitcoin, and the question asked to him by the journalist understood, thinking he was being asked about one of his secret projects for Citibank, who had a similar codename. Interestingly, on the same day the mysterious organization Nakamoto's P2P Foundation published the first in five years entry on the online forum with the text "I'm not Dorian Nakamoto." The spice is added by the fact that the foundation's account from which this message was sent was widely taken over by hackers, which could question the authenticity of the note left on the online discussion forum. The fact is that another candidate from the list of suspects of being a real Satosh - Hal Finney - lived for a decade several streets farther than Dorian Nakamoto, in a little more than thirty-six thousand people in the California town on the outskirts of Los Angeles - Temple City.

I also do not know who he is? but obviously people say that it was he who created the bitcoin and blockchain technology. The truth is still confusing. But as a bitcoin user I just believe that it was he who created this all. Hopefully there is a valid truth about him.

Perhaps we will learn the whole truth about the creation of bitcoin. It is very interesting to hear this story and understand how the cryptocurrency was born.

Such a great point you made, that it's a group of people I too this one person can't do this.
