Bitcoin is, without a doubt, the most popular cryptocurrency that exists, and after more than a decade of existence, it is no longer something dark only known to an Internet niche. However, the popularity and recognition of the quintessential cryptocurrency is not shared by Satoshi Nakamoto, the person (or group of people) who created Bitcoin in 2009.
Satoshi Nakamoto, the developer of the Bitcoin code, has not shown any signs of life for ten years
And what about Satoshi Nakamoto? Well, very little, and not only because he is a teacher of anonymity, but because 10 years have passed since his last message. In April 2011, Satoshi Nakamoto spoke to his fellow developers, who together with him were the spearhead of blockchain technology of the day.
It was a goodbye message for the developers working with him at the time. Basically, Satoshi handed over a cryptographic key that he used to send alerts within the network, and claimed that it was time to work on other projects.
Upon leaving, Satoshi removed his name from the copyright of Bitcoin, which he left in the hands of "all developers" working on the cryptocurrency. Since then, he has not been heard from again, which undoubtedly fuels his legend.
Currently, Bitcoin has reached over $ 60,000 per unit, and it is something that everyone has heard about. Governments and companies are not indifferent to this and other cryptocurrencies. and it is a sector that moves thousands and billions of dollars.
Whether Satoshi was able to foresee any of this while he was developing the Bitcoin code is a mystery, but his silence and his anonymity, even after creating a true technological revolution, are still fascinating.
