People are talking about Satoshi’s identity again.
A recent report from The New York Times points to Adam Back as a strong candidate for Satoshi Nakamoto.
The argument leans on his early work with Hashcash in the late ’90s, his ties to the cypherpunk movement, and similarities in writing style.
Former #Ripple CTO David Schwartz reacted in a way that made it sound like the mystery might finally be settled.
Back, though, pushed back on that. He denied the claims and said Satoshi staying anonymous is actually a good thing for Bitcoin.
