Newsweek denies 64-year-old Japanese alleged to be the inventor - Storm of online reactions to magazine revelations
The man whom Newsweek presented as the unknown inventor of the digital coin denies the reportage. 64an Nakamoto, in an interview with the Associated Press news agency, said he had not heard of bitcoin the slightest until three weeks ago when his son told him that he had contacted a journalist.
The Newsweek magazine presented 64 Dorian S. Nakamoto as the unknown bitcoin creator until now.
Nakamoto said many of Newsweek's news items are right, but he questions the magazine's claim to be the person behind the bitcoin.
From the creation του bitcoin το 2009, ο άνθρωπος που το δημιούργησε παραμένει ένα μυστήριο. Το πρόσωπο -ή η ομάδα- που βρίσκονται πίσω από τη δημιουργία του υπέγραφαν με το όνομα Satoshi Nakamoto, που πολλοί πιστεύουν ότι πρόκειται για ψευδώνυμο.
Meanwhile, the magazine report where it was supposed to reveal the ID card of the creator of the digital currency, raised a storm of reactions on the Internet. The magazine had posted pictures of Nakamoto and his family, his house, his car, and even his driver's license.
Its users Twitter they were extremely strict: "Something like this makes me lose all respect for the media," says someone, while someone else: "I guess all they care about is how much their s...magazine will sell. No dignity." Some even posted the editor's personal information and home address in the comments below the story, wondering if she was "waiting for us to knock on her door" - comments that were later deleted by the magazine.
