in 2011, butrin began to realize bitcoin under the influence of his father when he was 17 years old in high school. Butrin showed a strong interest in this new thing. In order to better understand this fully distributed currency, butrin began to read bitcoin forum and technical materials. He wrote bitcoin blog articles to earn bitcoin, although his hourly salary was only $2 an hour
when he made 20 BTCs, he took 8.5 to buy a shirt. But he realized at that time that if thousands of people from all over the world join the bitcoin community, an independent financial system can be created, and the application of blockchain is not limited to cryptocurrency, but applicable to all walks of life. Since then, Butlin has been working in this direction
in late 2011, butrin graally became famous in the community. A man from Romania invited him to co-founder bitcoin magazine and serve as the chief writer

The bitcoin white paper was first published at the end of 2008, when the creators sent it to multiple recipients on an encrypted mailing list. Strangely, its creator pretended to be Satoshi Nakamoto, hiding behind the pseudonym
Another reason for Nakamoto's anonymity can be explained as that the creators of alternative currencies easily put themselves at risk In 1998, Hawaiian resident Bernard von nohaus created a private currency called free dollar. It has been popular for some time, but its coinage was suddenly raided by the FBI and secret service in 2007. After a criminal lawsuit in 2009, the money was confiscated and Bernard von norhaus was convicted of "making private coins that compete with the official currency of the United States." In addition, in 2007, a digital currency called e-gold was accused of being illegal because it did not collect enough customer information. Its owner was sentenced to house arrest and the company was shut down. The arrest of entrepreneurs in alternative currencies by government agencies may have been a factor in China's decision to remain anonymouseveryone can use bitcoin. This means it can be used to pay for legal and illegal services, as well as legal bids however, it has always been a popular payment method in the black net market. Ross Ulbricht, the notorious dark Internet market maker and operator, was jailed for facilitating the trading of drugs and other contraband
Ross Ulbricht appealed to the US Supreme Court in December 2017, but is still in prison. If Nakamoto reveals his true identity, it can be inferred that he may face a similar fate
who would he be
in 2016, Craig Wright, an Australian programmer, claimed to be Chinese. He provided some evidence, but later found that it was not conclusive because it could be obtained publicly from books. He was also accused of falsifying announcements and blog posts to show his real Chinese version. For example, vitalik buterin, founder of Ethereum, recently called Craig white a liar
The other is Hal Finney. He is a famous cryptopunk and Cryptologist. He was also the first person to receive bitcoin from Nakamoto in 2009. He was also the first to download a bitcoin client. Before his death in 2014, however, Hal fini refuted the claim that he was Chinese Some people think that Nick Saab, a famous Cryptologist, may be Nakamoto. Before the launch of bitcoin, he designed the architecture of distributed digital currency, which he called bitcoin. Although the architecture has never been moved, it is similar to the design of bitcoin. This led to widespread speculation. But he repeatedly denied italthough the real identity of Nakamoto may never be disclosed, it is important that the operation of the technology will not be affected
