A new website, Got Satoshi, claims to know the true identity of Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto.
New website promises to show who Satoshi Nakamoto really is.
While the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, still is and probably will remain unknown, there has never been a shortage of people claiming to be the creator(s) of Bitcoin.
The latest high-profile figure that has tried to claim the Bitcoin throne was Craig Wright, the controversial creator of Bitcoin SV. Seeing how Wright's assertions that he is responsible for creating Bitcoin have widely been ridiculed, it's likely that anyone making such a claim will face similar skepticism unless overwhelming evidence is provided.
The one-page website hosts a countdown timer that runs out on May 14, when the true identity of Satoshi will allegedly be revealed.
McAfee, the creator of the eponymous anti-virus software and Bitcoin maximalist, predicting that BTC will hit $1 million by 2020, has previously claimed to know who Satoshi Nakamoto is.
I met with Mario Gray, my extradition lawyer, and it is now clear that releasing the identity of Satoshi at this time could influence the trial and risk my extradition.
The person behind the Got Satoshi twitter account said McAffee might be aware of who he is, but has been firm in his assertion that he is not Craig Wright.
Got Satoshi's tweets were widely ridiculed, with many Twitter users doubting that Satoshi would announce his identity in such a sensationalist way.
While the event won't lack any drama, it will most likely lack the only proof that would convince everyone-the use of Satoshi's private Bitcoin key.
Will the identity of bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto be revealed on May 14th?
