Is the mystery about Satoshi solved?
A ‘whodunit’ for the cyber age.
For nearly two decades, the world lived with a mystery regarding the creation of one of the most widespread assets in the world’s economy.
A cybercurrency, Bitcoin.
During this time, endless theories have arisen about the real identity of the secret inventor who hides under the name Satoshi Nakamoto.
Some are really out there, like Satoshi Nakamoto is a time traveler, or else an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) from the future; that he is an extraterrestrial alien, or the Antichrist.
Some say Satoshi is actually Jeffrey Epstein, or Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, or Jack Dorsey.
Some are certain that Bitcoin was created by the NSA or CIA.
Others say it is a creation by the Illuminati (or ‘the Jews’), or else by Chinese government operatives, or even a rogue group of US government cryptographers.
Now, after a long investigation by the press, a British computer scientist has been named as the possible inventor of Bitcoin.

The Telegraph reported:
“Adam Back, a 55-year-old programmer born in London, was identified after a year-long investigation by the New York Times into the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.
The identity of ‘Satoshi’ – an online pseudonym used by the person who created Bitcoin – has been a mystery ever since the digital currency was created 18 years ago, despite multiple attempts to unmask them.
Mr. Back is a major figure in the Bitcoin community who founded the technology company Blockstream and who now lives in Malta.”

Some have previously claimed Back was Satoshi, including software pioneer John McAfee.
“As part of its investigation, the New York Times identified repeated similarities in the writing styles of Mr. Back and Satoshi in thousands of online forum posts in the 1990s and 2000s.”
