Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?
He is the inventor of Bitcoin.
Also one of the most mysterious figures in the online world.
In 2008.
A person named 'Satoshi Nakamoto' published the Bitcoin white paper.
In 2009, he mined the genesis block.
Bitcoin was officially born.
But not long after, he completely disappeared.
Not speaking, not appearing, not withdrawing money.
Leaving behind countless mysteries.
Is he a person or a team?
One guess is that he is a single person.
The emails and forum posts he sent are logically rigorous, and his English is natural.
Moreover, he has a deep understanding of cryptography, economics, and programming.
Very much like a well-educated geek.
Some think he might be British.
Because his spelling uses British English, such as 'favour' instead of 'favor.'
But some also suspect he is actually a small team.
The Bitcoin system is too complex, involving too many fields.
Not only must one understand cryptographic technology, but also the monetary system and cybersecurity.
Having so many skills in one person is indeed very rare.
More like a joint creation of a group of genius programmers and economists.
There are even bolder claims.
Some suspect it has a national background, like the US NSA.
Using Bitcoin as a financial experiment tool.
But such claims always lack evidence.
So how much money does he have?
According to on-chain data.
Satoshi Nakamoto mined about 1 million Bitcoins in the early days.
At current market prices.
His total assets are between 30 billion and 70 billion dollars.
If calculated at peak price.
Even exceeded 100 billion dollars.
These coins have remained untouched to this day.
There are no records of any transfers out.
People in the cryptocurrency circle refer to this batch of coins as 'nuclear-level assets.'
Once transferred, it could trigger market panic.
Is he still alive?
This is another mystery.
Some believe he has long since passed away.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to have no activity for so many years.
Some also think he is still observing everything from behind the scenes.
Perhaps he continues to work on some project under a pseudonym.
It is also possible that he chooses to never show his face.
In order to maintain the neutrality of Bitcoin and the belief in 'decentralization.'
Regardless of the truth.
Satoshi Nakamoto indeed changed the world.
He not only created a new type of currency.
Also sparked global interest in cryptographic technology.
Opened a new era of blockchain, Web3, and digital assets.
Interestingly,
It is precisely because he is mysterious, reclusive, and not greedy for money.
