Satoshi Nakamoto, known as the "Father of Bitcoin", suddenly appeared again on his officially certified Twitter account on Tuesday (October 4) after five years of silence, announcing the Great Leap Forward of Bitcoin. Blueprint, that is, start exploring various areas that have not been covered in the white paper. The crypto community has questioned the authenticity of Satoshi Nakamoto's account, and Twitter boss and billionaire Elon Musk mysteriously hinted, "Believe what you see, not what others tell you."
The certified account named Satoshi Nakamoto on Twitter (now renamed as X Platform) posted again, tracing back to his last tweet in 2018, triggering heated discussions in the community. In just one day, it has been viewed 6.2 million times and shared nearly 8,500 times.
The Satoshi Nakamoto certified account wrote: “Bitcoin is a predicate machine. In the next few months, we will explore various areas that have not been touched upon in the white paper. These areas are both part of Bitcoin and Very important issues, some of which we have touched upon in earlier years, and now it is time to extrapolate and explain them."
It should be noted that although the account name is Satoshi Nakamoto, some social media users countered that the account may be controlled by Craig Wright, known as "Satoshi Satoshi" Fake account, the latter has long claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto.
Under the tweet from Satoshi Nakamoto’s certified account, Twitter officials also listed an important background: “This is not the real Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto. This account is related to Craig Wright, who claims to be Nakamoto. Satoshi, but there is no substantial evidence. This account is rumored to be the real Satoshi and was one of only two accounts to post about Bitcoin in 2009, along with Hal Finney.”
But Musk then posted a suggestive tweet, which was forwarded by a Satoshi Nakamoto-certified account, adding a sense of mystery to the entire incident. He wrote: "Believe what you see, not what others tell you." The tweet received 28 million views and nearly 78,700 retweets and shares.
Christen Ager-Hanssen, the former CEO of blockchain technology company nChain, also issued a document confirming that the account was transferred from a supporter Andy Rowe to Satoshi Aoben, and posted a screenshot indicating that Andy Rowe created the account in 2018. Post a series of Satoshi Nakamoto quotes.
Ager-Hanssen also said when he left nChain at the end of September: "I am convinced that Satoshi Aoben is not Satoshi Nakamoto, and he will lose all legal battles."
In fact, the last confirmed active record of Satoshi Nakamoto was in 2014, not 2018 as indicated on the certified account. At that time, a journalist, Leah McGrath Goodman, published an article claiming that Satoshi Nakamoto was Dorian Nakamoto, a Japanese-American living in California, but this was quickly denied.
Satoshi Nakamoto himself also came forward to deny it. He sent a message to his P2P Foundation account for a long time: "I am not Dorian Nakamoto."
Finally, if Satoshi Omoto wants to prove that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, he can prove that he has the private key as long as he can successfully transfer the approximately 1.1 million Bitcoins that Satoshi Nakamoto held in 22,000 addresses in his early days.
Senior crypto investors have long been reluctant to believe market rumors because no one who has ever claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto can misappropriate the Bitcoins. The truth about who Satoshi Nakamoto is is still one of the biggest mysteries in the history of blockchain.
