Bitcoin prices are now moving in tandem with the global financial indices. Russia military's movement on the Ukraine border shocked the financial world and global stock indices failed miserably in last few days. However, there was no real reason for bitcoin to fail, but since many global financial investors are now part of this asset class reacted in the same fashion. Bitcoin has now become global asset class, but still nobody knows who is the creator of it.
And I feel it is good that nobody knows about him. There are some speculations around the names like Dorain Nakamoto and Craig Wright but there are no confirmations. And in my opinion there would never be any confirmations about the identity.
Why Satoshi Nakamoto needs and chooses to be unknown. Before bitcoin come into existence there was a company called Gold & Silver Reserve Inc. created E-Gold.
E-Gold was the same as bitcoin. Gold Backed currency can be transacted on the internet and sent or received in a wallet. E-Gold was created in 1996.
13 years before bitcoin. The company allowed users to open an account on their website denominated in grams of gold and the ability to make instant transfers of value to other e-gold accounts. A server of this website is located in different countries to make sure decentralization.
So if we take this case as a case study bitcoin early adopters were illegal marketplace like silk road, and multiple exchange accounts get hacked but because no company operates bitcoin that’s why no one can seize. So possibly that’s why the bitcoin creator chooses to keep under the curtain in name of Satoshi Nakamoto.
All cryptocurrency environment is built around bitcoin only so if the bitcoin creator gets exposed and if bitcoin enforcement takedown bitcoin then it will be the end of cryptos so cryptos need that Satoshi Nakamoto to be unknown.
