Elon Musk Alleged To Be The Mysterious ‘Satoshi Nakamoto’- The Man Behind The Bitcoin

One of the key puzzles of Bitcoin — which as of late achieved a stunning worth of more than $9,000 —is who precisely made the digital money. Satoshi Nakamoto is recorded as the creator of the first paper portraying Bitcoin, yet no genuine individual, or gathering, has turned out to state they are Nakamoto.

All things considered, Sahil Gupta, who says he was a software designing intern at SpaceX, as of late composed a Medium post making a case that Satoshi Nakamoto is none other than Elon Musk.

What’s Gupta’s evidence for this claim? Nothing concrete, but his logic is relatively sound. The original 2008 Bitcoin paper was written by someone “with a deep understanding of economics and cryptography,” which Gupta says Musk possesses. Musk is also a master of coding language C++, the language Bitcoin was written in, Gupta says.

“Experience aside, Elon is a self-taught polymath. He’s repeatedly innovated across fields by reading books on a subject and applying the knowledge,” Gupta writes. “It’s how he built rockets, invented the Hyper loop (which he released to the world as a paper), and could have invented Bitcoin.

Gupta then points to this 2014 tweet from Musk as a possible coy confession that he created Bitcoin. But, my favorite piece of Gupta’s argument is this: “Would Elon choose a pseudonym that’s an anagram for ‘So a man took a shit?’ Of course.”It’s not much to go on, but it’s certainly an interesting hypothesis.
