  • Dorian Nakamoto, a physicist, denies being the creator of Bitcoin, despite years of speculation
  • The true identity of the Bitcoin creator continues to remain unknown, with several potential candidates suggested by different tech experts
  • The stress caused by the controversy surrounding his alleged involvement in Bitcoin has reportedly taken a significant toll on Nakamoto and his family

The world of cryptocurrency was sent into a frenzy last week when Dorian Nakamoto, an American-Japanese physicist, denied involvement in the creation of Bitcoin. Nakamoto had been dogged by rumors he was the mysterious person behind the digital currency for years. Still, in a video posted on social media, he insisted he was “just an engineer doing something else.” He also stated he played no part in the development of Bitcoin, which he claimed to have been oblivious to while working as a government contractor in 2001.

Nakamoto’s comments were seen as a blow to those who have long speculated on the true identity of the individual or group behind Bitcoin. Satoshi Nakamoto has been used as a pseudonym by the currency’s creator, whose identity or identities have never been fully established. Many tech sleuths suggest potential candidates, including Hal Finney and Nick Szabo.

There have even been controversial claims that Apple founder Steve Jobs could be behind the digital currency, with some suggesting evidence for the connection could be found in the Bitcoin whitepaper, which is embedded in the Mac operating system.

Dorian Nakamoto first entered the cryptocurrency conversation in 2014 when he was ‘outed’ as an alleged creator of Bitcoin by Newsweek. Since then, he has consistently refuted the claims, despite the stress they have reportedly caused him and his family.

His recent video has put the matter to rest and shifted attention back to the cryptographers, computer scientists, and developers who may have worked together to create the first decentralized digital currency. The search for the elusive Satoshi Nakamoto continues.

From Pizza to Major Investment

When Bitcoin first emerged in 2009, it was just a gimmick, a cryptocurrency used to purchase pizza or make small transactions. However, over time, it has become a practical investment option, especially after the pandemic-induced economic crisis of 2020. Despite polarizing opinions about its credibility, investors continue to perceive Bitcoin as the next “gold,” while others view it as a Ponzi scheme.

Bitcoin has shattered expectations over the years. It rose to an all-time high of $69,000 last November 2021, only to sink gradually to $16,500 the following year. Yet, surprisingly, it recovered again, hitting $31,000 last April. Bitcoin’s acceptance as a serious investment is demonstrated by its inclusion in many well-known institutional investors’ portfolios, such as Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan. Companies like Tesla and Square have provided a huge confidence boost to Bitcoin in recent years, further increasing its legitimacy.

Despite continuing concerns around its use in illegal activities and volatility, Bitcoin’s potential as a serious investment remains high. It has yet to determine whether Bitcoin will ever rival gold as a safe-haven asset, but its journey from a pizza currency to a valuable investment online continues.
