Satoshi Nakamoto

Estimated reading: 2 minutes 594 views

Satoshi Nakamoto is the name of the inventor of bitcoin – the world’s largest digital currency. However, it is not actually known who Nakamoto is. The name appears on the white paper that originally proposed bitcoin, as well as in forums and code involved in its development. Though there have been many people suspected of being Nakamoto, nobody has been able to prove it.

For the real Satoshi Nakamoto, proving their identity should be easy, as they hold the first ever bitcoins. These coins have never moved throughout bitcoin’s history, so simply moving one – or a portion of one – would be enough to convince most people they are who they say they are.

The estimated net worth of Satoshi Nakamoto is 1 million Bitcoin (BTC) valued at approximately US $48 billion as of December 2021.Satoshi’s wallet owns nearly 5% of all the Bitcoin ever mined, but no one has ever processed a transaction through the wallet address. This would make him one of the most wealthy people in the world.

According to experts and several documentaries on YouTube, the real identity of Satoshi is a British cryptographer named Adam Back.

He has several writing consistencies with Nakamoto and worked with many of the people influencing the project. While Back denies he is Nakamoto, it’s our best guess.

Adam Back lives and works in England, where he is the CEO of Blockstream, a company he founded in 2014.

Craig Wright, an Australian computer scientist, claims to be the real Satoshi Nakamoto. The family of his former business partner, David Kleiman, a computer forensics expert and cryptographer who passed away in 2013, claimed “the two men had worked together to create and mine the first Bitcoin in existence, and that Mr Wright had stolen it” in a Miami, Florida, court case. The jury granted Kleiman’s company $100 million in compensation for Wright’s IP infringement and gave Wright permission to keep 1.1 million Bitcoins.
