4 People Who Are Believed To Be The Face Behind Bitcoin

There are hundreds of theories about who Satoshi Nakamoto Really is. To this day we still haven’t figured it out. But in case you are interested in mysteries and intrigues, then this is a subject for you. Here are the five people believed to be the creators of Bitcoin.

1. Nick Szabo

Nick is a cryptocurrency philosopher and a writer. He wrote a paper named ‘’Bit Gold’’. After he published the paper many started doubting that he is the face behind bitcoin. Just after the suspicions came out, Szabo was quick to announce that he denies being Satoshi Nakamoto. However, many are still convinced that Nick fits all the criteria to be the one.

2. Dorian Nakamoto

Dorian is actually a Japanese American man that lives in California. He worked as a system engineer on defense projects. There was an article published where the author claimed that this Nakamoto is the real Nakamoto. But interestingly enough, Dorian denied these rumors. He claimed that he had no idea what Bitcoin was until the article reached the public.

3. Hal Finney

Hal was the first person to run a Bitcoin node after Satoshi. He was checking for bugs and imperfections and constantly worked on improving them. This is why people think he is Satoshi. There is one fun fact about Hal. He lives around 10 minutes from Dorian Nakamoto’s house, weird right?  He was later given a diagnosis of ALS and started losing his ability to speak and walk. He died later in 2014.

4. John Nash

Nash is perceived as one of the greatest mathematicians of our century. If you have no idea who might he be, make sure to watch the movie ‘’ A Beautiful Mind’’ starring Russel Crowe. Although there are few people who believe that he is the creator of bitcoin, it is more appropriate to say, however, that he made a rather serious influence on cryptocurrency. He was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and died at the age of 86.
