I had been MEANING to look into the genius inventor who had designed and created bitcoin ... what I have found is deeply surprising I think you will agree. The fact is no one knows WHO or WHERE he is! The most likely candidate of the same name claims it was not him... an Australian claims it was he and he wants no publicity - The mystery thickens!
From wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoshi_Nakamoto Known for Inventing bitcoin, implementing the first blockchain, deploying the first decentralized digital currency
Satoshi Nakamoto is the name used by the unknown person or persons who designed bitcoin and created its original reference implementation.[1] As part of the implementation, he also devised the first blockchain database. In the process he was the first to solve the double spending problem for digital currency. He was active in the development of bitcoin up until December 2010.
Nakamoto has claimed to be a man living in Japan, born on 5 April 1975.[2] However, speculation about the true identity of Nakamoto has mostly focused on a number of cryptography and computer science experts of non-Japanese descent, living in the United States and Europe.[3]
As of 24 May 2017, Nakamoto is believed to own up to roughly one million bitcoins,[4] with a value estimated at approximately $2.7 billion USD as of June 2017.
