Cohen and Sasseman are the masterminds behind the idea of ​​creating Bitcoin.

Cohen and Sasseman have been friends for many years. Their scientific interests coincided to create a miracle of the 21st century that changed the direction of human development. Cohen revolutionized data exchange in 2001. He created BitTorrent technology. Instead of centralized servers, the new technology allowed files to be exchanged directly, saving resources and increasing efficiency.

His cryptographer friend Sasseman was also passionate about the idea of ​​freedom on the Internet, but in a different aspect. His goal was privacy and anonymity. Together with Cohen and other crypto cult figures, Sasseman launched several projects that allow users to remain anonymous, including the Tor browser and technology, an anonymous electronic messaging system.
