🔥NYT believes that Satoshi Nakamoto is Adam Back.


He is the person who created Hashcash – a spam email countermeasure that requires computers to burn computational resources – which is the foundation of PoW (Proof-of-Work).
In Satoshi's whitepaper, Hashcash is cited directly.
Adam Back is also one of the very few people Satoshi contacted via email before Bitcoin was launched.
In 2014, after the Mt. Gox collapse, Adam founded Blockstream – a company developing #Bitcoin infrastructure, focusing on sidechains, Lightning, and scalability solutions. This is one of the organizations with the greatest influence on Bitcoin core development.
If this is true, Adam Back would be the 25th richest person in the world with an estimated net worth of $78.5B.
