Satoshi Nakamoto (中本聪) is the name used by the presumed pseudonymous person or persons who developed bitcoin. On Oct 31, 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto authored a 9-pages bitcoin white paper called "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System," explaining the created and deployed bitcoin's original reference implementation. A few months later, the bitcoin was launched, and Satoshi Nakamoto owned 1 million bitcoins in the first year, with total Bitcoin limits to be 21 million.
Bitcoin combines encryption technology, cryptography, distributed computing, and game theory. With Bitcoin, as long as two people anywhere in the world have access to the Internet, they can conduct transactions within a few minutes without the need for an intermediary. Now, each Bitcoin is worth nearly $5tK, which makes the Bitcoins a 1 trillion worth in total.
Many guesses about who Satoshi Nakamoto really is, including Dorian Nakamoto, an engineer living in LA, Adam Back, the creator of Hashcash, and Craig Wrightm, an Australian scientist. Many have denied the claims. Now only Craig Wrightm from Australia claims that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, but nobody believes him.
Editor's Notes: Apparently, people like to explore the unknown, especially when this mysterious person is behind the vast wealth challenging the current authority.
