Exactly 15 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto, the enigmatic creator of Bitcoin, disappeared without leaving a trace. Despite the revolutionary impact that cryptocurrencies have had on the global economy and technology, the identity of this person or group remains an unsolved mystery. Nakamoto’s last public message was a technical discussion, but a private email to Bitcoin enthusiast Mike Hearn in April 2011 contained the cryptic statement: “I have moved on to other things.”
The defining moment for Nakamoto was the publication of the nine-page document ‘Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System’ on November 1, 2008. This work solved the long-standing problem of ‘double-spending’ that had plagued cryptographers for decades. Nakamoto proposed a public ledger based on blockchain technology to prevent double issuance of digital assets. This groundbreaking idea was further developed over the following months before Nakamoto disappeared.
Although Nakamoto has not moved any of his Bitcoin since 2010, it is estimated that he still has 1.1 million BTC, which could make him one of the richest people in the world. The value of these bitcoins fluctuates widely, and analysts speculate whether Nakamoto has died or lost access to his wealth. Some believe he is deliberately keeping quiet to protect the integrity of the network.
The future of Nakamoto’s fortune remains uncertain. As long as the Bitcoins are not moved, they remain safe from access. However, if a transaction ever occurs, it could expose the public key address and represent a potential target for future quantum computers. The Bitcoin community is watching eagerly to see whether the mystery surrounding Nakamoto will ever be revealed.
