On April 5, 2025, it would have been 50 years since Satoshi Nakamoto – the mysterious figure behind the creation of the world's first cryptocurrency. Despite the years that have passed since the emergence of Bitcoin in 2008, the true identity of its creator remains one of the greatest mysteries of the digital age.

Satoshi Nakamoto introduced the world to a revolutionary blockchain technology through his famous paper “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System,” laying the foundation for the era of decentralized finance. From 2008 to 2010, Nakamoto actively participated in the development of the network, communicating with developers through forums and email, before suddenly disappearing.

Over the years, numerous theories have been proposed about the identity of Satoshi – from well-known cryptographers and programmers to groups of developers operating under a single pseudonym. However, none of these theories have received definitive confirmation, and the initial stash of bitcoins in Nakamoto's wallets remains untouched, which only deepens the mystery surrounding the creator of the first cryptocurrency.
