The mystery of who is actually the creator of the digital currency, Bitcoin may have been revealed. Recently, a man claimed to be "Satoshi Nakamoto," a name that had been considered the inventor of Bitcoin.
The name "Satoshi Nakamoto", who is considered to be the inventor of Bitcoin, is just a pseudonym used by an Australian citizen man named Craig Wright.
To the BBC media, Wright insisted that he was actually Satoshi Nakamoto, the cryptocurrency maker's known pseudonym.
Wright has shown evidence supporting his statement to the BBC. The evidence includes a cryptographic key that may only belong to Satoshi Nakamoto.
The key itself says Wright used in the first transaction Bitcoin in 2009 ago.

What is the opinion of the Bitcoin community itself? According to the BBC, the Bitcoin community seems to recognize the claim.
"Leading members of the Bitcoin community and its core development team have also confirmed Wright's claims," the BBC wrote.
In addition, Jon Matonis, one of the renowned founders of the Bitcoin Foundation also believes that Wright is the inventor of Bitcoin. This is believed after seeing some evidence submitted by Wright
"At a London proof session I had the opportunity to review relevant data on three different things: cryptographic, social, and technical," Matonis said.
"It is my belief that Craig Wright has fulfilled all three categories," he added.
Why just now?
To the BBC media, Wright unfortunately is not too clear to reveal the reasons, why new open identity at this time.
"I do not decide I have people to decide this problem for me and they make not make life difficult for me but for my friends, family and employees," Wright said.
"And I do not want them to be affected about this, so I'll do this once and only once, I'll just show up once in front of the camera, and it will not show up for any television station or any media."
