The founder of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, is estimated to hold 1.1 million bitcoins. Now, with one bitcoin worth 100,000 USD, that means he has at least 110 billion USD in assets.
What’s most interesting is that after all these years, no one on the internet has been able to prove they are him. Over the past decade, there have been at least a dozen frauds claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto.
Recently, there was a guy who went live claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto, but when the audience asked him to explain the elliptical curve encryption algorithm used in Bitcoin, he immediately froze and started sweating. Programmers in the comments quickly exposed him — he couldn’t even understand the structure of a block header, yet he dared to impersonate?
In my opinion, a true big shot wouldn’t bother to show their face. They’ve managed to keep the world guessing for fifteen years with just a string of code; that’s real class!
