Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?

This name is well known in the world of crypto.

It is likely to be a pseudonym for a person or a group of people who developed the first cryptocurrency in the world – bitcoin, authored the bitcoin white paper, and created and deployed bitcoin’s original reference implementation.

It’s generally believed that the work on the bitcoin code began in 2007 and until mid-2010 Nakamoto continued to collaborate with other developers on the bitcoin software.

After 2010, the recognized involvement of Satoshi Nakamoto in the bitcoin project was stopped.

The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto is still unknown, but according to most of the versions this person is of non-Japanese descent.

Nakamoto could own between 750,000 and 1,100,000 bitcoin. As of November 2021, that puts his net worth at up to 73 billion US dollars, which would make him the 15th richest person in the world
