Intriguingly, as the date for the airing of the documentary has drawn near, a number of high-value wallets from the “Satoshi era” have become active for the first time since 2009.

    It’s truly not even a mystery.

    There is only one person on earth who had both the skills and experience to create bitcoin, and actually was working to create bitcoin in the months leading up to the white paper.

    That person is Nick Szabo.

      Oh please.

      The evidence for Szabo is circumstantial at best. I’ll give you he has the skills and experience and was working on digital currency at the time.

      But Szabo was just one of hundreds of people working on different ideas related to digital currency around the time Bitcoin was released.

      And how many hundreds of people developed their own cryptocurrency after getting the idea from the Bitcoin whitepaper? Clearly he not the only “person on earth who had both the skills and experience”.

      Not to mention Szabo has repeatedly denied being Satoshi.
