Crypto YouTuber and trader Lark Davis has posted a tweet, in which he reminded followers of the recent news of the Bitcoin whitepaper spotted within the operational system of Mac computers...
The blogger also stated that the periods when Satoshi went off the grid and Steve Jobs differ by just one year, with these events happening in 2010 and 2011. With this tweet, he started a poll, offering his audience the choice between three answers: "yes" Steve Jobs was Satoshi, "no" he was not and "it does not matter."
A total of 37.7% of the respondents chose "no." Slightly less but close to that, 35.4%, believe that it does not matter whether it was Jobs or anybody else...
The rest — 26.9% — stated they believe the new theory of Satoshi's identity after the recent news of Macs and the Bitcoin whitepaper. Overall, 8,537 respondents have thus far taken part in the survey... Many, however, said that it was likely not Jobs but the other Apple founder, Steve Wozniak, who is known to be a Bitcoin supporter.
Head of Binance CZ made a joking comment under a tweet about this news, suggesting that now is the time to search for the Bitcoin whitepaper in the code of Windows and Linux, perhaps implying that Steve Jobs, Wozniak and Bill Gates created Bitcoin together in a shabby garage somewhere.
David Gokhshtein... added that he is still doing research, but deep in his heart, he still believes that Satoshi was Hal Finney, an American IT engineer, who was the first to receive a Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi Nakamoto. Sadly, he passed away three years after Jobs, in 2014, from complications caused by Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

If it's anyone well-known, it is probably Elon Musk.
Give me a break. That’s not in his skill set, nor does it seem to be an issue he cared about.
It always seems strange to me, that the originator of Bitcoin is an anonymous person or persons.
I wonder if that person or persons has a big store of Bitcoin himself or herself. After all the inventor of Bitcoin would definitely have been there , and gotten in on the ground floor.
Telling everyone who works for him that their work sucks isn’t really a skill set. ;^)
What’s better than roses on your piano? Tulips on your mania.
Anybody investing in digital magic beans that no one can trace back to who thought it up is pretty stupid IMO.
And if one person named Satoshi Nakamoto did think it up I’ll eat my hat.
I’d say the illuminati would be a better guess.
I neglected to put the title on that link up in #2.
Apple has hidden a bitcoin manifesto in every Mac since 2018, says a tech blogger who discovered it by accident
[snip] Technologist Andy Baio wrote in an April 5 blog post that he found a PDF of the original bitcoin white paper on his Macbook. [/snip]
Yes, there are wallets with substantial amounts of BTC that are believed to belong to Satoshi. Not a single coin has ever left those wallets.
That suggests that Satoshi is quite recent rich apart from the BTC.
Steve Jobs was a control freak. Why would he create a distributed system? He also wouldn’t have the technical skills unless the code was written in calligraphy.
Just ask AI who it is.
Steve Jobs was not a coder like that. Wozniak? Maybe. Not Jobs.
The reason the stayed anonymous was to keep “politics” or “nationality” out of the entire conversation.
And yes, there are lots of BTC on the blockchain that have never moved.
...or deceased.
Good call!
‘Civ: Siri, who is Satoshi Nakamoto?
Siri: Spartacus. Now just find the right one.
Probably D.B. Cooper, he cooked up the idea when the hijacking ransom money ran out.
