Satoshi Nakamoto first started working on the Bitcoin protocol in 2007 when he was 53 years old. As many of you suspected, he didn't work on it alone, but rather received assistance from a few others. His real name isn't Satoshi Nakamoto, but it's very similar, both in amount of letters in first and last name, as well as syllables.. Bitcoin wasn't meant to be as huge and well established as it today, was more of a quirky "project" at the time, and was actually modeled after the U.S Dollar, but since he meant for it to be entirely virtual, this made it decentralized(Also why Bitcoin is not 100% anonymous aka Public Ledger). He's also Japanese American.
Many of you are asking, why didn't/doesn't Satoshi use the vast amount of Bitcoin's he has? Well the answer is simple, he's a modest type of guy, not into being famous, and receiving too much attention.(He does indeed have a Bitcoin account as of right now, though of course none of you know it's him..) Plus he suspected that being in control of that many Bitcoins would devalue his "project" in the eyes of others, particularly when Bitcoin was just released to the public. Besides, he's official "retired" now, and I can assure you, his salary before retirement was well over $100,000. Ftw, retirement fund.
Anyway, that's a small amount of info on Satoshi Nakamoto(alias). You might be interested in where I got this information from. Well let's just say I'm his peer(If you're reading this, you owe me
)
*I also intentionally left out some information, can't tell you guys everything sorry*
Hope this clears up at least some confusion on the subject.
- I've seen one of you ask why I posted this. It's been 5 years since Bitcoin officially came out, I've created threads here and there, always amused at people's "hypothesis" of Nakamoto's real identity. I decided to at least give you guys some direction, the guy isn't a loner, he isn't dead, he's not a alien. He's like everyone else, who was working on a interest of his, that unexpectedly left a big impact on the world.-

*Think about it guys, The U.S Dollar isn't backed by anything, neither is Bitcoin. The U.S dollar is distributed annually, he made Bitcoin gain-able through miningwhere Mining difficulty increases to ensure there isn't an overabundance of Bitcoin too fast, just like how the U.S Dollar is distributed, he didn't pick a decentralized currency for the sake of being "anti-government", but because it's the only thing that'd work with an online currency and appeal to new users. A centralized one would put the power in human hands, humans make mistakes..*
-As a famous anime character once said, " Until next time!"-
Why did you not get a donation from him after the interview?
How does he look?
Did you get an autograph?
Well Bitcoin is backed by the people and dollar is backed by the politician and govt.
Since you know this man so much, more then the media itself, you mus be living with him? What PC does he mine with ATM?
