§ FATHER OF #BTC §
Bitcoin was created by an individual or group of individuals using the pseudonym ‘Satoshi Nakamoto’. The true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto remains unknown to this day, and it is one of the most significant mysteries in the world of technology and finance.
Satoshi Nakamoto first appeared as the author of a white paper titled ‘Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System’ in October 2008, outlining the concept of a decentralised digital currency and the underlying technology, blockchain.
In January 2009, Nakamoto released the first Bitcoin software and mined the first block, known as the ‘genesis block’, on the Bitcoin network, marking the beginning of the Bitcoin blockchain. Over time, Nakamoto communicated with early Bitcoin enthusiasts and developers through online forums and email; but by late 2010, Nakamoto had gradually faded from public discussions and eventually ceased all communications.
Since then, various individuals have claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, but none have provided conclusive evidence to support their claims. As a result, the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto remains a mystery, and Bitcoin continues to operate as an open-source and decentralised digital currency without a central authority.
