Creator of Bitcoin Found
    #19658653 - 03/06/14 09:33 AM (9 years, 10 months ago)

Satoshi Nakamoto stands at the end of his sunbaked driveway looking timorous. And annoyed.

He's wearing a rumpled T-shirt, old blue jeans and white gym socks, without shoes, like he has left the house in a hurry. His hair is unkempt, and he has the thousand-mile stare of someone who has gone weeks without sleep.

He stands not with defiance, but with the slackness of a person who has waged battle for a long time and now faces a grave loss.

Two police officers from the Temple City, Calif., sheriff's department flank him, looking puzzled. "So, what is it you want to ask this man about?" one of them asks me. "He thinks if he talks to you he's going to get into trouble."

"I don't think he's in any trouble," I say. "I would like to ask him about Bitcoin. This man is Satoshi Nakamoto."

"What?" The police officer balks. "This is the guy who created Bitcoin? It looks like he's living a pretty humble life."

I'd come here to try to find out more about Nakamoto and his humble life. It seemed ludicrous that the man credited with inventing Bitcoin - the world's most wildly successful digital currency, with transactions of nearly $500 million a day at its peak - would retreat to Los Angeles's San Bernardino foothills, hole up in the family home and leave his estimated $400 million of Bitcoin riches untouched. It seemed similarly implausible that Nakamoto's first response to my knocking at his door would be to call the cops. Now face to face, with two police officers as witnesses, Nakamoto's responses to my questions about Bitcoin were careful but revealing.

Tacitly acknowledging his role in the Bitcoin project, he looks down, staring at the pavement and categorically refuses to answer questions.

"I am no longer involved in that and I cannot discuss it," he says, dismissing all further queries with a swat of his left hand. "It's been turned over to other people. They are in charge of it now. I no longer have any connection."

Nakamoto refused to say any more, and the police made it clear our conversation was over.

But a two-month investigation and interviews with those closest to Nakamoto and the developers who worked most frequently with him on the out-of-nowhere global phenomenon that is Bitcoin reveal the myths surrounding the world's most famous crypto-currency are largely just that - myths - and the facts are much stranger than the well-established fiction.

Far from leading to a Tokyo-based whiz kid using the name "Satoshi Nakamoto" as a cipher or pseudonym (a story repeated by everyone from Bitcoin's rabid fans to The New Yorker), the trail followed by Newsweek led to a 64-year-old Japanese-American man whose name really is Satoshi Nakamoto. He is someone with a penchant for collecting model trains and a career shrouded in secrecy, having done classified work for major corporations and the U.S. military.

Standing before me, eyes downcast, appeared to be the father of Bitcoin.

Not even his family knew.

I don't see his house. In the comments they were saying you could practically read his license plate. That journalist is a cunt. I hope Newsweek gets the shit suedout of them, or hacked, or both. It'd be funny to see how that journalist would feel with all her info put on blast.

I find it highly doubtful that this man is actually the creator of bitcoin.

She makes it sound convincing, but some of those quotes are just way too good to be true. I think she made some of that shit up.


Either way, she just got them huge amounts of unwanted attention. Way to go!

Because Bitcoin is a huge contribution to mankind, whether or not it will stay around.  I think DPR was a great man too, but nowhere near as great.  They both changed the world in a pretty big way, or at least started the change.

Perhaps. Though I don't see it going away anytime soon considering it's use as a fairly anonymous (if the proper precautions are taken) currency. And given how popular it is in certain darker corners of the net. 

Either way I have made a ton of money off this "fad" though. And I continue to do so.

If you want to continue to speculate in a commodity go for it.  I note you measure your profitability in real currencies, though.

probably the more advertisement it receives the more it will dissapear from the hands of the simpletons. for example like the atm bitcoin machine they're talking about, stuff like that. probably our best bet is to keep it out of sight, but not out of word.

That is a far cry from making him a "great" man and doing the world a great service, and even less so did is the chance that he actually started a change in anything. It might possibly lead to other types of currency that can be used on the dark net and in other ways but I still don't see it ever becoming something widely popular or anything besides a "fad" like ZiG said.

Either way, if that story is true the journalist is still a scumbag.

The dark net / crypto-coin pairing has already changed drug delivery in a huge way. There are now countless darknet sites and vendors selling all over the dark web, whereas before it was all kept in very tight closed circles due to the need for trust since western union / paypal was used.

The dark net / crypto-coin pairing has already changed drug delivery in a huge way. There are now countless darknet sites and vendors selling all over the dark web, whereas before it was all kept in very tight closed circles due to the need for trust since western union / paypal was used.




Seriously, its only a fad if the internet goes down. One currency may change for another but that box isn't going to close, and there is a shit ton of money already circulating.

I suppose... I'll believe it when I'm older I guess.. Either way, I'm not complaining about bitcoins considering that I had a really fun year because of them. :cool:

You can order a kilo of MDMA, a few grams of LSD, a few grams of fentanyl, a few guns to your house if you have the BTCs.  That was a lot harder a few years ago, and there was no escrow either.

I remember when they said the internet was "just a fad." And look where the internet is today.
:lolsy:

Things with actual utility aren't generally just fads. Hell, even if bitcoin fades away it will only be because it was replace by a superior online currency.
