Who is Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin?
Hindustan TimesThe origins of Bitcoin, the world's most renowned cryptocurrency, are shrouded in mystery, with the true identity of its creator remaining unknown. The pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto has been linked to the founder or founders of Bitcoin, who played a pivotal role in developing the cryptocurrency's technical framework, writing seminal papers, creating the first blockchain database, and launching it. The true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto remains largely unknown, but the HBO documentary ‘Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery’, directed by Cullen Hoback, speculated that Peter Todd, a college student in 2008, might be the original creator of the cryptocurrency. Hoback suggested in the documentary, "What if the real reason for using the name Satoshi, for the anonymity, was so that people could take Bitcoin seriously, so they could believe it was created by a famous cryptographer and not some kid still in school."
