Satoshi Nakamoto — Bitcoin's unknown inventor
The person who created Bitcoin vanished without revealing their identity. One of the great modern enigmas.
In 2008, a person (or group) under the name Satoshi Nakamoto published the Bitcoin plan — a digital currency with no central bank. In 2009 they launched it, then vanished completely.
An invisible creator
No one knows for sure who Satoshi is. They left behind a technology that ignited an entire industry and started a global debate about what money really is. Sometimes an idea matters more than its author.
