“Satoshi Nakamoto” is considered the founder of Bitcoin, a universal crypto currency. But nothing is known about his true identity. In a documentary published in the United States recently, the answer may be more complex than we thought. Since 2008, the world’s leading crypto currency, Bitcoin’s name behind the name of the “Satoshi Nakamoto” had noticed that there was no biography of a person. This name was first published in 2008 under an article called “Bitcoin: Electronic Cash System”; Since then, he had preserved his mystery. This article introduced the network that would become a block chain in time for the first time.

Bitcoin is considered the world’s leading crypto currency.

Chinese inspiration

Although the information that emerged at the beginning of the name of the software supporting Bitcoin, “Satoshi Nakamoto” pointed to the name of the name after 2010, this name was not included in the texts related to crypto currency. Nakamoto’nun identity of the company’s officials began to spread from ear to ear, which he did not know anything. This made Satoshi Nakamoto even more mysterious. According to Bitcoin’s website, Nakamoto developed Bitcoin based on an idea written by Chinese computer scientist Wei Dai. The website includes the following statements: “Bitcoin is first defined by Wei Dai in the Cypherpunks e-mail list in 1998 and using cryptography instead of a central authority to control operations. Bitcoin is the first application of the concept called ‘crypto currency’. “

Is it the name of a team?

The best known of the theories put forward so far tells that Satoshi Nakamoto is not a single person but a team. According to this theory, in the early stages of Bitcoin, a group of developers who had close relations; He began to work together to implement the digital currency. It was claimed that these developers were computer programmers called Hal Finney and Nick Szabo. Hal Finney was an active developer in the Cypherpunk community, where the idea of ​​Bitcoin and crypto currencies emerged. While everyone thought they had reached the names behind Bitcoin, another person named Satoshi Nakamoto. In 2014, a 64 -year -old Japanese American system engineer named “Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto” suddenly gathered the media’s attention. However, the Japanese programmer later announced that Bitcoin was not the founder, but that this was due to a journalist who misunderstood him.

It has been wondering who created Bitcoin for years. Doubts are gathered on three names.

Another suspect

Finney died in 2014 while the allegations continued. Following his death, Finney’s other suspect Dorian Nakamoto lived only a few blocks beyond. Following these developments, Nick Szabo focused on Nick Szabo, who was a member of the same Cypherpunk community as the suspicions of Finney. Szabo wrote articles about a decentralized currency concept called “Bit Gold” years before Bitcoin was developed.. But Szabo clearly rejected his allegations that he was Nakamoto.

The documentary, “Satoshi Nakamoto behind the name of the last word has not yet been said. Maybe one day Nakamoto will emerge and explain its identity itself,” he ended with the statements.
