If you're a cryptocurrency fan, you will definitely come across the name Satoshi Nakamoto in your journey.
This is the name taken on by the person or group of people who founded and coded Bitcoin. However, the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto is a mystery to date.
There are three people who have over time either claimed to be, or have been said to be the infamous Nakamoto.
Two of them, Nick Szabo, founder of Bit Gold in 2008 and Dorian Nakamoto have been pointed out by others as being the ones. Dorian has strongly disagreed with this.
A third person, Craig Wright has actively claimed to be the founder, but some things seem not to line up with his cliams and history.
Whoever Satoshi may be, dead or alive, I feel that this person would probably prefer to stay hidden. Being in the spotlight for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency would bring too much attention,. mostly from government who have a real challenge with the changes cryptocurrency is bringing to the financial world. Also, with his address holding about 1.1 million Bitcoin,.it could make the person a target for criminals.
