🚨JUST IN: ADAM BACK NAMED AS POSSIBLE BITCOIN CREATOR SATOSHI NAKAMOTO
After more than a year of investigation, the New York Times has published a report identifying British cryptographer Adam Back as the most likely candidate to be Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto.
The paper's evidence spans thousands of decades-old internet postings, computational linguistic analysis, and a timeline of technical contributions.
Per reports, Back invented Hashcash, proposed decentralized electronic cash in Cypherpunk emails during the late 1990s, and outlined a node-based network architecture that Satoshi later executed almost identically.
He was reportedly everywhere in discussions about digital cash for over a decade and then vanished entirely the moment Bitcoin was born. Back denies all of it.
