$BTC Satoshi Nakamoto Richer Than Bill Gates
The inventor of Bitcoin has outdone one of his greatest critics: Satoshi Nakamoto is richer than Bill Gates, with a net worth of $112.4 billion. The mysterious inventor of Bitcoin is now officially richer than Microsoft founder Bill Gates. However, only by a little.
According to data from Arkham Intelligence, Satoshi Nakamoto holds a little over one million Bitcoins, currently valued at $112.4 billion. Bill Gates' fortune is $112.3 billion, according to the current Forbes billionaire list. There is considerable speculation about the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. Individual figures are being discussed, including Jack Dorsey, the inventor of Twitter, and Elon Musk. Some even believe it could be a group. Despite many – sometimes dubious – attempts to reveal their identity, their true identity remains unknown to this day.
A particularly bizarre theory from the founder of Binance, Changpeng Zhao, suggests that the inventor of Bitcoin could also be an AI from the future.
Bill Gates remains a declared opponent of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. According to the Microsoft founder, their main purpose is drug trafficking and tax evasion. Gates sees Bitcoin as a climate killer. "It consumes more energy per transaction than any other method we know."
A group of shareholders from the company tried to make Microsoft add Bitcoin to its reserves this year. This attempt was rejected.
Satoshi Nakamoto launched Bitcoin on January 3, 2009, mining the first block, the genesis block. Included is a headline from The Times: "Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks." This is still read today as a critique of the traditional financial system.
Thus, Bitcoin also started as a counter-movement. The vision: a financial system without banks. Almost 16 years later, the currency is primarily perceived as digital gold and is increasingly integrating into the financial sector. A major supporter and holder, for example, is BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager. #Write2Earn #satoshiNakamato #millionaires $BTC
