Bitcoin has undoubtedly laid the foundation for the rapid development of Blockchain technology as we know it today.
To try and understand why Satoshi Nakamoto chose a pseudonym, it is a good idea to recall the basic idea behind Bitcoin.
If Satoshi had chosen to reveal their real identity, they would have become the central element in a decentralised system.
Various linguistic and behavioural studies were carried out, which led some people to believe that Satoshi resided in the United Kingdom as suggested by their impeccable written English or the fact that they occasionally used typically British phrases.
Nick Szabo is a blockchain pioneer and founder of “Bit Gold”, which was one of the earliest attempts at creating a decentralised digital currency in 1998.
According to Jerry Brito, director of the cryptocurrency research group Coin Center, the real Nakamoto ought to possess one key that’s associated with Bitcoin’s so-called Genesis Block — the beginning of the public ledger of Bitcoin transactions called the Blockchain.
For now, none of the self-declared inventors have conclusively been able to prove that they are the masterminds behind Bitcoin.
