Nick Szabo: the person who invented Bitcoin before Bitcoin 🧠
In 1993**, he began thinking about smart contracts, and in **1998**, he introduced **Bit Gold (Bit Gold): an idea for a digital currency based on proof of work and featuring a scarce digital asset. Essentially, this idea was very close to **Bitcoin**, but it never reached the final version presented by Satoshi.
Szabo is a computer scientist and lawyer who has sought from the beginning to find a way to build trust between strangers without needing a bank or a state. He even created a prototype of “Bit Gold,” but the project was unsuccessful.
After the Bitcoin white paper was published in **2008**, many people began to suspect that Szabo was actually Satoshi. He denies it, but his ideas were indeed very close to the essence of Bitcoin.
Today, Szabo continues to write and share his technical and philosophical ideas, remaining one of the most mysterious figures in the world of cryptocurrency.
