The true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the founder of Bitcoin (BTC), remains a mystery. Although BTC has grown into a cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of over $1.3 trillion, it is still unclear who invented the Bitcoin network.
Recent attempts to discover Satoshi’s identity, such as the much-discussed HBO documentary that speculated that BTC expert Peter Todd was the inventor, ended without success. A recent press conference at the Frontline Club also failed to produce a breakthrough.
A remarkable press conference without results
The press conference in the Frontline Club was a special spectacle. Organizers promised a reveal of Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity and charged attendees £100 for a front row seat, with an additional £50 to ask unlimited questions. Despite the promise of an unveiling, the event attracted only a handful of journalists.
No evidence provided for BTC’s founding
During the press conference, Stephen Mollah was claimed to be the founder of the Bitcoin network. However, Mollah failed to provide convincing evidence for his claim. When journalists asked him to move BTC tokens from Satoshi Nakamoto’s famous wallet, he was unable to do so. This led to frustration among those present, especially because Mollah had indicated in advance that he would provide convincing evidence.
The continuing mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto
Over the years, several individuals, such as Dorian Nakamoto and Craig Wright, have been incorrectly identified as Satoshi. Elon Musk has also denied being the founder. Many people believe that Satoshi’s anonymity is important to keep BTC free from personal interests. For the time being, the mystery surrounding Satoshi remains unsolved.
