Satoshi Nakamoto. To this day, it is not known whether this is one person or a group of people, which further drives the Bitcoin theme.
Satoshi Nakamoto first began writing about Bitcoin in 2008. Then he announced the start of work on virtual currency. In 2009, the first version of the software - bitcoin client - was released. Since 2010, his activity in the forums has slowly begun to disappear and today his new entries cannot be found anywhere. So who is the creator of Bitcoin? There are many theories on this subject.
At first glance, or rather at a glance at the name, everything indicates that he is Japanese. However, as investigations show, this is unlikely. Joshua Davies from The New Yorker magazine said that Bitcoin's creator was actually Michael Clear, a cryptography graduate. The second on his list is Vili Lehdonvirt - a Finnish sociologist and creator of computer games. He 'supported' his conclusions with research related to the use of specific linguistic phrases. Unfortunately, both men denied that they created Bitcoin.
In turn, Adam Penenberg from Fastcompany claims that Nakamoto is actually three people: Vladimir Oksman, Charles Bry and Neal King. As with the examples given earlier, the researcher considered linguistic phrases. As the creators of Bitcoin, the Finnish programmer, Matia Malami, Jed McCaleb, the creator of eDonkey, or Donald O'Mahony and Michael Peirce, the creators of work on digital payments, were also pointed out.
A pretty serious candidate for "being" Sathosi Nakmaoto was also Hungarian Nick Szabo. For he also worked on creating cryptocurrency and its assumptions in many places agree with what Nakamoto later published. However, Szabo does not admit the creation of Bitcoin, and there is no evidence that it is actually him.
In 2013, information spread around the world that the creator of Bitcoin had revealed himself. It was the creation of this cryptocurrency, said Australian Craig Wright. His explanations were quite credible, and he was already on the "suspects" list. However, his "evidence" was refuted after some time, and Nakamoto still remains unknown.
We certainly know that the creator of Bitcoin is probably very rich. Because when Bitcoins began to appear, he "dug up" a lot of them, and in his wallet there is probably a cryptocurrency worth more than 100 million dollars. Whether this is true is not known. It is also unknown if we will ever find out who really created Bitcoin.
