A crowded field
The media has had a long-time obsession with unmasking the Bitcoin creator.
A recent HBO documentary controversially pointed the finger at early core developer Peter Todd.
In a recent statement, journalist John Carreyrou said with “99% confidence” that Satoshi is Satorshi (the founder of cryptography), the father-of-three Adam Back. Back has strongly denied the claim, arguing that Satoshi may be British in fact.
However, some believe that Satoshi’s identity should remain hidden, and the cryptocurrency community should protect it.
