In the world of crypto, there is no figure more mysterious than Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous creator of Bitcoin. Since the currency's launch in 2009, Satoshi has gradually disappeared from the scene, before vanishing completely without any communication.

Fifteen years ago, precisely on April 23, 2011, he posted his last public message on the Bitcointalk forum, addressing former Bitcoin developer Mike Hearn, saying: "I've moved on to other things... Bitcoin is in safe hands."

After that, he stopped replying to emails and quietly disappeared, with no appearance or contact to this day.

But this message marked a turning point for Bitcoin, indicating that the cryptocurrency is not subject to anyone's influence; it can continue to progress even without its founder.

By that time, Bitcoin had begun to prove this, as the database and the key roles of early contributors, such as developer Gavin Andresen, were abandoned. This shift led to the collapse of the project led by the founders and the emergence of a decentralized network based on .

Despite the passing years, and Bitcoin's adoption by institutions and its significant increase in value, the true identity remains shrouded in mystery, and he has remained hidden with no activity shown.

It is estimated that Satoshi owns about 1.096 million Bitcoin, worth approximately $82 billion, according to Arkham Intelligence data, making him one of the largest holders of the currency in the world.
