Satoshi Nakamoto calls himself a Japanese-American, and Japanese media often translate him into a history of philosophy. He is the creator of Bitcoin protocol and its related software Bitcoin-Qt, but his real identity is unknown.

In 2009, he released the first bitcoin software and officially launched the bitcoin financial system. In 20 10, he gradually faded out and handed over the project to other members of the bitcoin community. It is believed that Satoshi Nakamoto holds about1000000 bitcoins.

Satoshi Nakamoto's real identity speculation
