Is the creator of Bitcoin's identity revealed?



The New York Times suggests that the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto may be associated with cryptographer Adam Back — the head of Blockstream and one of the oldest members of the crypto community.

He is indeed connected to the origins of the technology: Back created Hashcash — the system that formed the basis of Bitcoin's mechanism.

Because of this, he has long been periodically suspected of being the possible creator of the cryptocurrency.

Back himself denies this and claims he has no relation to the creation of Bitcoin.

Currently, about $78 billion worth of Bitcoin is stored in Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet.
