Adam Back, the British computer‑science PhD and CEO of Blockstream, has again refuted claims that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin. Despite recent New York Times speculation and a documentary naming him as the most credible candidate, Back insists the attribution is false and notes that the enduring mystery actually benefits Bitcoin by preventing any single individual or entity from controlling the network. He points out that his 1997 Hashcash paper—a proof‑of‑work system cited in the original 2008 Bitcoin whitepaper—was an early influence on the cryptocurrency’s design, but that today Bitcoin is largely institutionalised, held in regulated exchange‑traded funds and custodial services that, together with the option of self‑custody, keep the system decentralized and resistant to capture.

Ben McKenzie, the actor‑director best known for “The O.C.,” spent the past five years warning that cryptocurrency is a dangerous, cult‑like speculation scheme, arguing that the mystery surrounding Bitcoin’s creator Satoshi Nakamoto only fuels its mythic appeal. In a Wired interview he explains that crypto’s core promise—“fixing the broken financial system”—is false, noting that most use cases are limited to speculation, gambling, and illicit activity, with an estimated $150 billion of crime funneled through digital currencies each year. He recounts his 2022 Senate Banking Committee testimony, his 2023 book *Easy Money* (co‑authored with Jacob Silverman), and his documentary *Everyone Is Lying to You for Money*, which expose the industry’s fraud, the role of corporations in mining Bitcoin, and the systemic risk posed by stablecoins that masquerade as fiat‑backed money. McKenzie believes crypto should be treated as a security, tightly regulated, and ultimately eliminated as a legitimate monetary system, while acknowledging that its existence highlights the deep failures of the current financial order.

"La mia ricerca per risolvere il grande mistero di Bitcoin": John Carreyrou illustra sul New York Times la sua ipotesi basata sul fingerprinting

Il creatore di #Bitcoin si è nascosto dietro lo pseudonimo di #SatoshiNakamoto per 17 anni. Ma una serie di indizi sepolti nelle profondità della mitologia delle criptovalute ha condotto a un informatico di 55 anni di nome #AdamBack.

NB: l'informatico e crittografo Satoshi Nakamoto Adam Back nega tutto!

I don't think #SatoshiNakamoto's identity matters that much, especially today - #Bitcoin is a rudimentary early #cryptocurrency that has become depleted and extremely energy-intensive, though it was undoubtedly a hugely significant step in the field in its day.

Things have moved on and there are plenty cryptocurrencies which address these issues, many developed by known individuals, which Satoshi, whoever they are, has as much control over as I do.
