Satoshi Nakamoto

Satoshi Nakamoto is the pseudonymous person or group responsible for creating the bitcoin protocol. Satoshi Nakamoto published the famous Bitcoin whitepaper in October 2008 and mined the first 'genesis' block on the Bitcoin network in January 2009. In April 2011, Satoshi Nakamoto posted on an online forum that he had "switched to other things" and disappeared completely from the blockchain community. Since then, Nakamoto's true identity has remained unknown, although there are several unproven theories that claim to have unraveled the mystery of this person/group.
