Who is known as the father of bitcoin
recently, the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the father of bitcoin, was accidentally exposed, which made bitcoin, which had graally faded out of the public's view, hot again. However, Craig, an Australian businessman with low-key and simple daily behavior, is still in the market; It took only five days for Craig Wright to admit that he had no courage to give up and prove that he was Nakamoto
not surprisingly, the mystery of "Nakamoto Tsung" will continue
"the twists and turns of Zhongben Cong's identity have not brought significant impact on the bitcoin market," Li Qiyuan, President of bitcoin China (BTCC), said in an interview with the first Financial Daily yesterday (May 9). As an innovative thing, bitcoin has been able to survive and grow steadily in the past few years, marking a kind of success. Liu Shengjun, executive vice president of China Europe Lujiazui Institute of international finance, is worried about the development prospect of bitcoin. "At present, no government is willing to give up its management power and accept bitcoin to replace legal tender."< On November 1, 2008, Nakamoto published a research report in a secret cryptography discussion group, in which the concept of bitcoin was first proposed. In 2009, the world's first bitcoin algorithm software appeared. In just four years after that, the price of bitcoin increased by hundreds or even thousands of times, which eclipsed other investment targets
as the creator of bitcoin, "Nakamoto Tsung" not only grasps the most core technology, but also increases people's curiosity and speculation about his real identity because of its huge wealth brought by about 1 million bitcoins (the current price of one bitcoin is about 2970 yuan)< On May 2, Wright publicly told several major overseas media that he was the so-called "Nakamoto Tsung", the founder of bitcoin, which aroused heated discussion in the market<
(the price trend of bitcoin in the past year)
Wright, 46, is a computer scientist and an entrepreneur. When he introced himself at the 2015 bitcoin investor conference, he said that he was a scholar, engaged in business research, and had a doctor of law and a master's degree in statistics
according to foreign mainstream media, Wright confirmed his identity as "Nakamoto Tsung" from a technical point of view by using the bitcoin owned by the founder of bitcoin. Wright also said publicly that it was not easy to make a decision to disclose his identity, and the reason for his clarification was his love and concern for his work, which he "hoped to eliminate the false legends and worries surrounding bitcoin"
as the Internet world continues to argue about Wright's real identity, the plot takes a major turn< On May 6, Wright suddenly published an open letter entitled "I'm sorry", saying that he "has no courage" to continue to prove his identity as "Nakamoto Tsung"
"I believed that I could end the years of hiding and hiding. However, with the events of the past week fermenting, I was going to publish the evidence that I had the initial block, but I couldn't stand it. I don't have the courage. I can't do it. " Wright said<
Wright once said in his public identity that he did not want money, nor did he want to be famous, nor did he want to be worshipped, but only wanted to be alone. Li Qiyuan told China Business Daily that if he really wanted to live his own life, why did he suddenly choose to expose his identity
obviously, the emergence of Wright has not completely ended the mystery of "Nakamoto" and investors are more concerned about the impact of "Nakamoto" on the price of bitcoin
Gong Ming, the founder of blockchain pencil, told the first financial daily that the identity of "Zhongben cong" will not have a substantial impact on the market, but is more symbolic. Unless "Nakamoto Tsung" sells a lot of bitcoin, it will not have an impact on the price of bitcoin. "From 2009 to now," Nakamoto Tsung "is not a person who has a strong desire for money and will not buy or sell bitcoin because of the high or low value of the currency."< Recently, Zug, a small Swiss town, announced that from July 1 this year, buyers will be allowed to pay for its public services with bitcoin as the payment method. Although there are still great limitations in the scope and amount of this payment method, the small progress is enough to cheer bitcoin's staunch admirers
from the beginning, virtual goods can only be purchased on the Internet, to now, bitcoin can be converted into multi-national currencies, and there are many twists and turns along the way
in February 2014, Mt. GOx, the world's largest bitcoin trading platform at that time, said that bitcoin was stolen e to large-scale hacker attacks, with a total loss of $470 million, and the platform declared bankruptcy. Affected by this, the price of bitcoin plummeted from more than $600 to $102 in just a few seconds, a drop of 83%
in January 2015, bitstamp, one of the most reliable bitcoin trading platforms in the world, was attacked by hackers, resulting in the theft of at least US $5 million of bitcoin, causing panic among some cryptocurrency holders. The openness and security of bitcoin cause instry concern. When the negative news came out, bitcoin was finally recognized by the regulatory authorities
in September 2015, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) confirmed for the first time that bitcoin and other virtual currencies are defined as commodities, which means that bitcoin is classified as commodities like gold and oil, and trading behavior will comply with all commodity derivatives market rules; In October of the same year, the European Court of justice formally ruled that bitcoin and other virtual currencies in Europe should be exempt from VAT just like traditional currencies. Because according to the relevant provisions of the EU, "currencies, bank bills and coins used as legal tender" do not need to pay VAT. Bitcoin has taken a solid step towards legalization
nevertheless, the market is still worried about whether bitcoin, which reached a historical peak of more than 8000 yuan in 2013, can return to its former glory
at present, the price of bitcoin is hovering around 2900 yuan, which is much more stable than the previous ups and downs, and the trading volume of bitcoin has also dropped significantly
"I don't think bitcoin has changed from hot to cold. Compared with the sharp rise and overheating in 2013, I think it is now the normal price of bitcoin. In 2013, bitcoin rose from tens of dollars in January to thousands of dollars in less than a year, overdrawing the later increase, so it has been falling back after 2013." Gong Ming told the first financial daily
how much is bitcoin worth? It is estimated that bitcoin players, exchanges, mining machine manufacturers and even bitcoin creators can not give an accurate answer
although the value of bitcoin cannot be determined, one thing is certain that the number of bitcoins is certain. Because the "issuance" of bitcoin depends on complex calculation, it is essentially different from the "printing" mode of traditional currency issuance. The total amount of bitcoin graally increases according to the design predetermined rate, and the increase rate graally slows down, and finally reaches the limit of 21 million in 2140. The instry estimates that the total amount has reached 15.5 million
Li Qiyuan believes that the limited number of bitcoin is in sharp contrast to the inflation and the decline in the purchasing power of fiat money caused by the massive printing of money by central banks“ The goal of bitcoin is not to replace the existing currency, but to become a universal digital asset in the world and provide convenience for people's lives. "
it is generally expected that with the departure of short-term speculators, the continuous development of bitcoin related applications and the improvement of infrastructure, the digital currency represented by bitcoin will be in a benign development stage
in addition to bitcoin, there are also outstanding digital currencies such as lightcoin, Ethereum, dogcoin and Ruitai coin.
bitcoin is a digital currency designed by Nakamoto in 2009. The identity of its founder "Nakamoto" has always been a mystery. Rumors about "father of bitcoin" involve from the US National Security Agency to financial experts, and also give bitcoin a mysterious aura. Matcha exchange can find out more about Ethereum bitcoin
The concept of bitcoin was founded by Nakamoto
On December 12, 2010, when bitcoin graally became a hot topic, he quietly left and disappeared from the Internet As a descendant of samurai, Nakamoto was born in 1949 in Beppu, Japan. His mother, quanzi, was a Buddhist and brought him up in poverty When his parents divorced in 1959, Nakamoto's mother remarried and immigrated to California with her three sons. Nakamoto and his stepfather don't get along well, but according to his younger brother Arthur, Nakamoto showed his talent in mathematics and science when he was very young, but also showed his "fickle and strange interest"Nakamoto graated from Caltech, majoring in physics. Upon graation, he joined Hughes Aircraft and worked in defense and electronic communications. Later, Nakamoto worked for the U.S. military, and his experience was classified as a state secret. Now searching his files, his life is a blank
In 2008, in an e-mail group discussing information encryption on the Internet, he published an article outlining the basic framework of the bitcoin system. In 2009, he established an open source project for the system, officially announcing the birth of bitcoin. On December 12, 2010, when bitcoin graally became the climate, he quietly left and disappeared from the Interneton November 1, 2008, a self styled Satoshi Nakamoto published a white paper on bitcoin, bitcoin: a peer-to-peer e-cash system, on the P2P foundation website, stating his new idea of e-money, bitcoin. On January 3, 2009, bitcoin Genesis block was born

On November 1, 2008, a person who called himself Satoshi Nakamoto posted a research statement on a secret cryptography review group, stating his new idea of electronic currency bitcoin came out, and the first transaction of bitcoin was completed. Bitcoin has got rid of the constraints of third-party institutions with the help of information technology, which Nakamoto calls "regional chain". Users are willing to dedicate the computing power of CPU and run a special software to be a "digger", which will form a network to maintain the "regional chain". In the process, they also generate new money. Trading also extends on this network. The computer running this software can solve the problem of irreversible code, which contains several trading data. The first miner to deal with the problem will get a 50 bitcoin reward, and the relevant trading area will join the chain. As the number of "miners" increases, the difficulty of each puzzle also increases, which keeps the proctivity of bitcoin in each trading area at about 10 minutes
in 2009, Nakamoto designed a digital currency, namely bitcoin. The booming bitcoin market has gone up and down, and the identity of its founder "Nakamoto" has always been a mystery. Rumors about "the father of bitcoin" involve from the US National Security Agency to financial experts, and also give bitcoin a mysterious aura
according to foreign media reports, computer scientist Ted Nelson released a video on the Internet on Sunday saying that he had determined that the founder of bitcoin was Shinichi Mochizuki, a professor of mathematics at Kyoto University. The founder of bitcoin has always used the pseudonym of Satoshi Nakamoto, and there has been a lot of speculation about its true identity in the Internet field. Nelson released a video saying that he has determined that wangyuexinyi is the real founder of bitcoin
in 2013, Wangyue Xinyi became famous for proving ABC conjecture. He attended Philip Exeter college in high school, one of the most prestigious high schools in the United States, and graated just two years later. Wangyue Xinyi entered Princeton University at the age of 16, left school as a doctor at the age of 22, and became a full professor at the age of 33. It is extremely rare in the academic world to obtain the title of full professor at such a young age. This mathematical superstar may have solved one of the most important problems in the field
Mr Nakamoto has left few personal data on the Internet, especially in recent years, he has almost disappeared, so his life experience has become a mystery. On March 7, 2014, when the news that Dorian P. Nakamoto, the founder of bitcoin, was found came out, it quickly became the most attractive news on the Internet
different from the outside speculation that it may be a fictional name, "Nakamoto" is a real name. He is a 64 year old Japanese American who likes to collect train models. He used to work in large enterprises and the U.S. military and engaged in confidential work. In the past 40 years, Nakamoto has never used his real name in his life. According to a 1973 Los Angeles District Court file, when he graated from Caltech at the age of 23, he changed his name to Dorian prentice Satoshi Nakamoto. From then on, he no longer used the name "cong", but used Dorians Nakamoto as his signature
Newsweek recently reported that after learning about Nakamoto's family and some bitcoin programmers, he found Nakamoto in San Bernardino, Southern California. He immigrated to California with his mother in 1959 and received a bachelor's degree in physics from Caltech
later, he changed his name to Dorian prentice<
according to the report, Nakamoto only vaguely admitted his connection with the bitcoin project, saying that he would no longer participate in the project, and refused to further discuss his relationship with the project
the report quoted him as saying: "the project has been handed over to other people, who are currently in charge of it and have no relationship with me any more."< However, in an interview with the associated press later, Nakamoto said that Newsweek misunderstood what he said. "What I said at the time sounded like I was involved in the bit project, but now it's gone. That's not what I wanted to say," he said. What I want to say is that I'm no longer involved in engineering. "
the bitcoin foundation is unwilling to confirm whether the report is true, saying that "there is no evidence to prove that the report's Mr. Nakamoto is the founder of bitcoin."
it is reported that if he is the founder of bitcoin, his wealth is expected to be as high as US $400 million (about S $500 million)
whether Nakamoto is really related to bitcoin or not, even his closest family members don't know. His brother Alto said: "he is very focused and has his own unique set of ideas. He's smart. He's good at math, engineering or computers
andreson, chief scientist of the bitcoin foundation, said that he and a man named "Nakamoto" discussed bitcoin online from June 2010 to April 2011, but they never talked on the phone, let alone met. "If you show up as the founder of bitcoin, now you have to come out and speak and comment on the media, which is not suitable for Nakamoto's personality," andreson told Newsweek.
