crazy how people still don’t know this was Satoshi

11 years ago today, the first Bitcoin recipient Hal Finney passed away.

@saylordocs it is Musk who is a proficient C++ Windows programmer, not Szabo

Nakamoto was just 2008 @elonmusk. P2P payments, Windows C++, into Japanese culture, British spellings.

I think there’s a real possibility that Elon Musk could be Satoshi Nakamoto.
He built Zip2 and PayPal, and creating Bitcoin requires skills in programming, cryptography, and payments—areas he clearly understands.
Also, the name “Satoshi Nakamoto” is Japanese, and Musk has shown interest in Japanese culture.
Most importantly, his vision aligns with decentralization—he doesn’t like being constrained by systems, and Bitcoin reflects that mindset.

@JohnCarreyrou There is someone who fits the Nakamoto profile better. Also a British-American personality, in his 50s, fascinated with Japan, connected to the Cypherpunks, proficient in C++, obsessed with digital money: Elon Musk.

@adamfisk Speaking of the intersection of Cypherpunk and Windows worlds, there is someone else

Despite the absurdity on the face of it, there are a number of things in common between Satoshi Nakamoto (author of the Bitcoin whitepaper and code), and @elonmusk. 1/11

The NYT says Adam Back wrote Bitcoin. The code says otherwise. I compared Bitcoin v0.1's actual source code against other top candidates across 12 stylometric traits — naming conventions, comment style, indentation, platform, class prefixes.
Adam Back scores 1/12. He writes C, not C++ like Satoshi. He writes for Unix, not Windows like Satoshi.
He also uses snake_case, tabs, and /* block comments */. Satoshi uses CamelCase, 4-space indent, // comments, and MFC-style C class prefixes.
The closest match? A Gnutella P2P developer from Australia named Michael Stokes (11/12) who I got into lots of arguments with back in the Gnutella days over Gnutella protocol evolution. He used the exact same Windows MFC conventions, Hungarian notation, and even British English spellings in his code.
