Haha, I just saw that Elon Musk posted one of those Satoshi Nakamoto conspiracy theories again. The picture shows how the pseudonym is allegedly made up of four electronics companies—Samsung, Toshiba, Nakamichi, Motorola. Sounds wild, but honestly, the image has been circulating for years.



What interests me more: Musk himself recently said in a podcast that he believes Nick Szabo is the real Satoshi Nakamoto. According to Musk, this guy is responsible for the development of the ideas behind Bitcoin more than anyone else combined. Szabo had already published all the concepts before Bitcoin.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk himself keeps getting suspected as a possible Satoshi—since around 2017. But Musk, of course, denies it. What I find funny is that Craig Wright, this Australian computer scientist, simply claimed that he was the real Satoshi and even had proof. Nobody really believes him.

The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto remains simply a mystery. The guy was active until 2011, then disappeared. Whether the whole electronics-companies theory is true or not—at the end, we probably never will know. What do you think—who’s behind it?
