The identity of Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto still remains a mystery to all of us and this mystery is actually good for Bitcoin.
I barely need to explain why since I'm sharing this to a crypto community but one prominent figure in Bitcoin's development called Adam Back said that having no central leader is really important for Decentralization. I mean that's the whole point anyways right?
If there was a known founder or main controller of Bitcoin, imagine what the government would have done to influence that person and eventually control something that was not meant to be controlled by a single person.
There's been rumors and a lot for research about who exactly Satoshi might be an an HBO documentary that happened recently suggested that a guy named Peter Todd could be Satoshi himself. I think what's happening right now is that whenever we see a prominent person's in the crypto space making investments in crypto that looks extra ordinarily smart, we are tempted to think that is Satoshi because Satoshi should obviously have a good fix in the crypto game right?
But I think this is a very weak claim. Todd only got involved with Bitcoin years after it was created so the timeline doesn’t match at all and Todd himself has even denied the claim.
We are well aware that Bitcoin’s strength comes from the community and the technology itself, not from one person.
The story of Bitcoin will be told years to come to future generations, I'm only hoping, it's not filled with lies or false claims. The Story of Bitcoin's beginning must be guided by the people that understands Bitcoin's mission.
There's no founder and we don't need to know who founded it. Decentralization is the goal and sole purpose of Bitcoin so all we need to do is have trust in the system and not any person.
