Satoshi Nakamoto is the pseudonym of a person or group of persons who authored and published the original Bitcoin whitepaper in 2008. So far, no one has managed to answer the biggest dilemma in crypto “who is Satoshi Nakamoto?”

Over the years, several people have claimed or been claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto. The most notable candidates include Hal Finney, the receiver of the first BTC transfer, and Nick Szabo. The latter is the creator of “bit gold,” a digital currency he devised in the 1990s. However, both have always denied being the Bitcoin creator.

Nevertheless, regardless of who Satoshi Nakamoto is, they still have the public keys tracing back to the Bitcoin genesis block. Some estimate that the person or persons behind Satoshi Nakamoto own over 1 million BTC.
