The FBI and CIA spent years trying to track him down
Founder of #BTC
The story of Satoshi Nakamoto and the theories surrounding him 🤠
August 2008
A user posts a Bitcoin address and shares a whitepaper about a new kind of money - $BTC published on the P2P Foundation's website
Signed with a name:
Satoshi Nakamoto
Nakamoto said he lived in Japan.
But the things do not add up:
$BTC is not written in Japanese!
He writes like someone from the UK talking about the first Bitcoin block in the London Times.
The timing of his contributions does not fit someone living in Japan.
Nakamoto disappeared on April 23, 2011
He sent an email to co-developer Mike Hearn saying he had 'moved on to other things.'
That was the last anyone heard from him
And here the theories begin:
After three years, people thought they had found him:
A physicist named Dorian Nakamoto said: 'I am not involved' and 'I cannot talk about it' but he meant secret engineering projects and not $BTC
Nick Szabo remained silent while others talked about Nakamoto, he created BitGold, the first version of cryptocurrencies.
Elon Musk believes this is the main suspect:
Paul Solotshi, programmer and leader of a gang, an expert in cryptography, his arrest in 2012 coincides with the moment of Satoshi's disappearance.
HBO has prepared a document stating that Peter Todd,
Satoshi Nakamoto is, however, 'the evidence' is weak:
Misleading forum posts
Differences in coding style
Some say Lin Sasman
Expert in cryptography and P2P technology is Nakamoto
He worked with Hal Finney
He lived in Europe while creating Bitcoin
His online working hours matched those of Satoshi
He died in 2012 months after Satoshi's disappearance
Some people believe that 'HE' was a group of individuals or even the FBI.
And there is the theory from Eiichiro Oda
The inventor of One Piece could be Satoshi Nakamoto and the true treasure of One Piece is Satoshi's #BTC
