Satoshi Nakamoto<\/strong> is the alias used by the creator of bitcoin<\/a><\/strong>. His true identity is mostly unknown, his anonymity is one of the great mysteries that surrounds this cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is speculated if it is a person, several or a group of companies,<\/strong> but only a few people know who is actually the author and creator of bitcoin.<\/p>\n

On some occasion, it has been rumored about whether he may have died or even people wanting to attribute the authorship of the creation of bitcoin, as happened in May 2016 when Craig Wright<\/a> said he was satoshi nakamoto<\/strong> and he announced it in an exclusive interview on the BBC:<\/p>\n

\u201cI was the main part of it (Bitcoin) but other people helped me\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

One year later, Craig Wright himself retracted his words because of the pressure to which he was subjected and did not want to give further evidence of whether or not he was the creator of Bitcoin.

“I believed that I could put the years of anonymity and hiding behind me. But, as the events of this week unfolded and I prepared to publish the proof of access to the earliest keys, I broke. I do not have the courage.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The only known data (which may or may not be true) are those extracted from Nakamoto’s profile in the P2P foundation.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

In the attempt to discover the true identity of satoshi several names have been shuffled, as for example Nick Szabo or Hal Finney<\/strong> both prominent cryptographers, although none has been verified.<\/p>\n

When it comes to imagine about the name, the most imaginative were not lacking, and have found at the beginning of the name of big companies the answer to the biggest question: Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sa<\/strong>msung – Toshi<\/strong>ba – Naka<\/strong>michi – Moto<\/strong>rola<\/p>\n
