Pi Coin has had a rough week, falling more than 75% from its peak. After the Consensus hype, the coin is now hovering around $0.70. Amid growing investor frustration, a new twist has emerged surrounding the Pi Network founder. Analyst Spock recently shared a piece of speculation, leaving everyone confused.

Could Nikolas Kokkalis really be Satoshi Nakamoto? While it sounds wild, he cited a few reasons to support this speculation. Let's find out what led him to say that.

Satoshi Nakamoto is the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency. He contributed to Bitcoin's code and development until 2010, before disappearing from public view. His identity remains a mystery.

Following the Clues: Kraken, Coinbase, and the Satoshi Connection

Pi Network co-founder Kokkalis follows only a handful of exchanges on X: Coinbase, Kraken, and OKX. Kraken is associated with the last known transaction linked to Satoshi Nakamoto, one of the exchanges Nicholas follows. But how does that prove he's Satoshi? This is where things get more interesting.

A Coinbase executive also believes Kraken might have information about Satoshi's identity because their research suggests a connection between wallets linked to Satoshi and Cavirtex, a Canadian exchange that was later acquired by Kraken. This isn't a coincidence, but a given.

While the community awaits a Binance listing abroad to boost Pi Network's visibility, this analyst is thinking even bigger. He believes that once Pi launches on Coinbase, the U.S.The US could become a major driver of Pi's real value.
