Is this Sotashi? Many use this photo for printing on T-shirts and other items with the text "I Am Satoshi Nakamato"
The question is one of the mysteries of our time. Who is Who or what is Satoshi Nakamato?
The Japanese name is the nickname of the founder of Bitcoin, the virtual currency that is beginning to take on the dimensions of the internet. THE real but his identity is unknown.
What we know is that 2008, Satoshi developed the theory of Bitcoin (PDF) and later created the software that would make it a reality.
Since then, digital currency has become increasingly popular and Satoshi has disappeared, announcing that it "started with other projects." The mystery has become an important part of the Bitcoin myth. The developer of the idea that would upset the world became a mystery and part of the charm of Bitcoin that no one knows how and where it came from.
A very simple definition for Bitcoin can be developed in five words: Money generated by computer codes.
Lately, conspiracy theories about Satoshi's identity have also implicated Silk Road administrator Ross Ulbricht, also known as the Dread Pirate Roberts. Ο Dread Pirate Roberts σύμφωνα με δύο ισραηλινούς επιστήμονες πληροφορικής που ερευνούν το θέμα, έλαβε ένα μεγάλο ποσό με την έναρξη της διαδικτυακής ναρκο-αγοράς, που μάλλον προερχόταν από το Sotashi. Οι εμπειρογνώμονες, Dorit Ρον και Adi Shamir, δήλωσαν: “Ανακαλύψαμε μια διαδρομή ( αλλά δεν μπορούμε να το αποδείξουμε) που δείχνει την σχέση μεταξύ των δύο , Satoshi Nakamoto and Dread Pirate Roberts.”
Who else can it be?
There are enough people in the list of potential developers of the digital coin, but none of them admit to having a role in its development.
In 201, Joshua Davis, a journalist at The New Yorker, “pointed” to an Irish computer science student, Michael Clear, as the mastermind of the digital currency. Of course the college student he did not admit his participation. "I'm not Satoshi," he told Joshua Davis. "But even if I was I wouldn't tell you."
What we all know is that Bitcoin is associated with anonymity. Payments are very difficult to trace, as is its mysterious founder, who today must be very rich. At the time of writing, the price of Bitcoin has reached $ 1160.
