In October, a\u00a0high-profile HBO documentary\u00a0suggested that a Canadian bitcoin expert called Peter Todd was he. The only problem: he said he was not, and the crypto world largely shrugged it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, inevitably, ears pricked up across our newsroom &#8211; and the crypto world at large &#8211; when on Thursday a call went out that the mysterious creator of Bitcoin was to, finally, unmask himself at a press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is deep interest in who Satoshi Nakamoto is in part because they are considered a revolutionary programmer who helped spawn the crypto industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their voice, opinions and worldview would be extremely influential in an industry with such a devoted and zealous fanbase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the fascination also stems from the fact that, as the holder of more than one million bitcoins, Satoshi would be a multi-billionaire, not least because the price of the coins is currently close to an all-time high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given that vast wealth, it was somewhat unusual to be asked by the organiser of Thursday\u2019s press conference to pay for my seat at his grand unveiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A front-row seat would be \u00a3100. It was another \u00a350 if I wanted unlimited questions. Organiser Charles Anderson even encouraged me to spend \u00a3500 in exchange for the privilege of interviewing &#8220;Satoshi&#8221; on stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I declined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Anderson said I could come along anyway but cautioned there might not be a seat for me, such was the level of anticipation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As it happened, seating wasn\u2019t a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img alt=\"Frontline club private room event\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/480\/cpsprodpb\/7570\/live\/666b6e60-9835-11ef-b6b0-f17636916de7.png.webp\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/480\/cpsprodpb\/7570\/live\/666b6e60-9835-11ef-b6b0-f17636916de7.png.webp\" alt=\"Frontline club private room event\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" data-eio=\"l\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The event was held in a private room at the prestigious Frontline Club<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only around a dozen reporters turned up to the prestigious Frontline Club &#8211; which interrupted proceedings at one point to stress it only provided a room, and not any official endorsement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Very soon it became clear that all attendees were extremely sceptical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After some digging, it emerged both the organiser and the purported Satoshi were currently embroiled in a complex legal fight over fraud allegations &#8211; linked to claims to be Satoshi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was an unpromising start, and things only got worse from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Anderson invited &#8220;Satoshi&#8221; to come on stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A man called Stephen Mollah, who had been sitting silently on the side the whole time walked up and resolutely declared: \u201cI am here to make a statement that yes: I am Satoshi Nakamoto and I created the Bitcoin on Blockchain technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the following hour, reporters went from amused to irritated as he failed to provide any of the promised evidence for his claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Mollah promised that he would make the Hail Mary move of unlocking and interacting with the first-ever Bitcoins to be created &#8211; something that only Satoshi could do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But he didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I departed, along with other bemused reporters, taking with us any lingering doubts that this would prove to be yet another dead-end in the quest to unmask Satoshi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10032631193 lazyload ewww_webp_lazy_load\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-3-43.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"451\" data-eio-rwidth=\"800\" data-eio-rheight=\"451\" src-webp=\"https:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-3-43.jpg.webp\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-3-43.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10032631193\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" data-eio=\"l\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stephen Mollah is the latest person to claim to be the mysterious inventor of Bitcoin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not another one<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The list of those identified &#8211; unsuccessfully &#8211; as Satoshi Nakamoto is long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2014, a high-profile article in Newsweek said it was Dorian Nakamoto, a Japanese-American man living in California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But he denied it and the claim has largely been debunked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A year later, Australian computer scientist Craig Wright was outed as Satoshi by reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He denied it, before saying it was true &#8211; but then failed over many years to produce any evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the spring\u00a0the High Court in London ruled\u00a0that Mr Wright was not the inventor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img alt=\"Reuters Craig Wright\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/480\/cpsprodpb\/4125\/live\/db8f40f0-9857-11ef-9260-19e6a950e830.png.webp\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/480\/cpsprodpb\/4125\/live\/db8f40f0-9857-11ef-9260-19e6a950e830.png.webp\" alt=\"Reuters Craig Wright\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" data-eio=\"l\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Craig Wright has claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto since 2015<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tech billionaire and crypto enthusiast Elon Musk also denied he was behind the cryptocurrency after a former employee at one of his firms, SpaceX, suggested it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which brings us to the question: does it really matter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The crypto market&#8217;s current valuation means it is worth more than Google. And it seems inconceivable that the tech giant would play such a big role in our lives without people knowing who founded it, and owned a sizeable chunk of the firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps there\u2019s good reason for the real Satoshi to keep schtum though. That bitcoin stash would make them worth an estimated $69bn and their life and character would no doubt be heavily scrutinised if they were found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peter Todd, who was named by the HBO documentary as being Satoshi, said the unwelcome attention he&#8217;s received has made him fearful for his safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many in the crypto world enjoy the fact that the mystery remains unsolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;No-one knows who Satoshi is and that&#8217;s a good thing,&#8221; Adam Back, one of its core developers (and another potential Satoshi candidate) posted on X recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Natalie Brunell, a Bitcoin podcaster, thinks Satoshi&#8217;s anonymity is not only deliberate but essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;By concealing his true identity, Satoshi ensured that Bitcoin wouldn\u2019t have a leader or central figure, whose personal agenda could influence the protocol,&#8221; she told me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This allows people to trust Bitcoin as a system, rather than placing their trust in an individual or company.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carol Alexander, professor of finance at Sussex University &#8211; who lectures on the history of Bitcoin &#8211; is less sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In her view, the circus around who Satoshi Nakamoto is distracts from people looking into &#8211; and getting to grips with &#8211; the more serious question of how cryptocurrencies might upend the way the economy works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I left the Frontline Club it was hard to compute the bizarre press event, beyond one obvious fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now &#8211; and perhaps forever &#8211; the search for Satoshi continues.<\/p>\n\n                <p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>      \n               \n <!-- Post Tags -->\n                \n\n                        \n\n    \n                                 \n                                             \n                    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin underpins a two trillion-dollar cryptocurrency industry, is now traded by the world&#8217;s biggest investment houses and is even an\u00a0official currency in one country.
