However, despite its quick ascent, a profound mystery still surrounds it: who is its founder, the elusive Satoshi Nakamoto?
That question has been the subject of numerous attempts, all of which have failed thus far. According to a well-known HBO documentary in October, Peter Todd, a Canadian bitcoin specialist, was the man. The main issue was that the crypto community mostly ignored his claim that he wasn’t.
Naturally, when word spread on Thursday that the enigmatic founder of Bitcoin would finally reveal himself at a press conference, ears perked up throughout our office and the cryptocurrency community at large.
Because Satoshi Nakamoto is regarded as a groundbreaking coder, there is a great deal of curiosity about who they are.
