The Latest Theory Is That The Creator Of Bitcoin Is A Blogger

It may surprise you to learn that despite the massive attention bitcoin has received this year, no one knows the true identity of its creator. In 2008, a person or group of people named Satoshi Nakamoto published the digital currency's original spec paper. After lingering around cryptocurrency forums for a year or two, "Satoshi" dropped off the map. There have since been numerous attempts — comprehensively tracked by Hilary Sargent, aka Chart Girl — to determine Satoshi's identity, but nothing conclusive has yet emerged. The latest stab comes from an equally unknown blogger, who on a Wordpress site called "Like In A Mirror" apparently created just for the post explains how he used analyzed speech patterns used in the Satoshi paper to determine that a blogger and former economics George Washington University economics professor named Nick Szabo "is probably Satoshi."
