How much do you know about the founder of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto?

Satoshi Nakamoto, the developer and founder of Bitcoin, was born in July 1949 and is a Japanese-American. He has a hobby of collecting model trains and has had multiple secretive roles in his career, including work for major corporations and the U.S. military.

On November 1, 2008, someone claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto posted a research paper in a secretive cryptography discussion group, outlining his new concept for electronic currency. On January 3, 2009, Nakamoto developed a cryptographic financial system accessible to everyone, and thus Bitcoin was born.

On December 5, 2010, when the WikiLeaks released classified U.S. diplomatic cables, members of the Bitcoin community proposed using their currency to support WikiLeaks, breaking the global financial blockade by authorities. Nakamoto strongly opposed this, believing Bitcoin was still in its infancy and couldn't withstand such attention. On December 12, he made a prediction about the Federal Reserve's future monetary policy and then departed from the online community.

In April 2011, Nakamoto stopped responding to emails. On the evening of March 6, 2014, journalist Leah McGrath Goodman claimed to have found Nakamoto and interviewed him. She described Nakamoto as a 64-year-old Japanese-American graduate of California State Polytechnic University, with a bachelor's degree in physics. However, Nakamoto denied any association with Bitcoin, claiming Goodman had misunderstood his previous work in military secrecy.

Later that day, Nakamoto himself denied the association, posting a message on the P2P Foundation's account, stating, "I am not Dorian Nakamoto."

The mystery of Nakamoto's identity remains one of the biggest puzzles in the tech world. Since creating Bitcoin in 2008, Nakamoto's true identity has remained unknown, leading experts to believe that revealing Nakamoto's identity could have significant implications for Bitcoin's economy and internal politics.

Nevertheless, Nakamoto's views and leadership undoubtedly influence the future of Bitcoin. While it appears Nakamoto is uninterested in future developments, only anonymity, protection, and peace might attract this holder of one million Bitcoins.
