Is the creator of Bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto back? Nakamoto, known globally as the creator of the first decentralized cryptocurrency and hailed as a legend around the globe, continues to illusive in terms of his identity. However, according to his Twitter handle, Satoshi Nakamoto is going to reveal his identity.
This is not the first time someone has claimed to be Nakamoto. There have been several individuals, however, the only strong claim that made a huge impact in the cryptocurrency community was that of Craig Wright’s. After Wright proclaimed to be Nakamoto, it was dismissed as a bluff since he offered up no concrete evidence to support his claim. This has led to the community dubbing him Faketoshi.
A Twitter profile that goes by the name Satoshi Nakamoto has made a stunning claim, however. First, the handle posted a link of a transaction dated back to January 9th, 2009. This was the same day that Nakamoto released the Bitcoin version 0.1 on Sourceforege, according to Wikipedia.
The tweet from that handle claimed that there was an issue with the Segwit. This issue had the potential to destroy Bitcoin and it was so important for him to work on, that he was ready to reveal his identity. His tweet read:
“I do not want to be public, but, there is an issue with SegWit. If it is not fixed, there will be nothing and I would have failed. There is only one way that Bitcoin survives and it is important to me that it works. Important enough, that I may be known openly.”
A succeeding tweet claimed that this will be revealed in December 2019. It said: “The message will be clear in Dec 2019.”
This resulted in the majority of the community claiming that it was Craig Wright who was in control of the account. As of writing this post, the aforementioned Twitter account is currently suspended.
