Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?
Embedded in Bitcoin’s first block was a headline from that day’s British newspaper, The Times, about the Chancellor being on the brink of a second bailout for banks. Around the end of 2010, Satoshi Nakamoto gradually faded from public discussion and handed the project over to other developers.
Satoshi’s design combined proof of work, a chain of blocks, and economic incentives, allowing unfamiliar nodes to agree on the same ledger.
$BTC is the currency in the system Satoshi designed.
