Who knows the truth? He might have invented it, but he could also just be the front man for the CIA who may have really been the inventors because they wanted to study e-currency.

Personally, if I had invented it, I would have released it into society and traded those e-currencies for real money and been worth $4 trillion dollars. That’s what I would have done.

I wonder how much energy and computer power it would take to mine 1.1m Bitcoins and no one noticed?

Blah Blah Blah. Its really very simple. The real Satoshi Nakamoto would sell at least some of the large horde of Bitcoins he owns. People have watched that horde Satoshi mined for years and years. They’ve never moved.....ie he’s almost certainly dead. Why else would you sit on a vast fortune and never cash out any of it?

They never talk about the young children in third world countries who work all day long in the Bitcoin mines for pennies a day.

the New York Times has claimed to uncover the anonymous architect of Bitcoin, who has hidden his identity for more than 17 years.

They NY Times said Stalin was a good guy, Trump was a Russian spy with a direct hotline to Putin in his office, and that covid started when someone at a bat.

Don't know if this guy is Satoshi, but we DO know NY Times are deep-state/CIA propagandists.

Nope. Dr. Back has some of the skillset (but lacked other necessary skills) and was a latecomer to the bitcoin community, as usual the NYT is wrong. For one, being in England would mean that he was consistently sleeping from ~6 AM to Noon each day based on Satoshi’s email and message posting history. There is another candidate who checks the skillset/education boxes even better than Back, lived in a more sensible timezone, has also been tagged based on writing analysis, and is strangely lacking from the bitcoin whitepaper citations despite his earlier publications being precisely what should have been cited (a “dog that didn’t bark” kind of scenario). But I no longer mention his name because it is better for Satoshi to remain anonymous.

I don’t buy it. I believe Satoshi is long dead.

Mysterious Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto is 'unmasked' as British nerd who could secretly be worth $70bn

"British nerd who could secretly be worth $70bn" - in Bitcoin I presume?

Bitcoin Is Down 7 Percent This Year But Bitcoin Mining ETFs Are Up Over 50 Percent. This Is The Real Crypto Story of 2026.

What exactly miners dig up? Why it is up while crypto is down in 2016?
