🔑 David Schwartz, Ripple's CTO Emeritus, suggests it's unlikely anyone alive has Satoshi Nakamoto's private keys. He explains that Satoshi likely used a secure method to generate and store the keys, possibly using an air-gapped computer or a secure operating system. Given the passage of time and security measures, accessing those wallets might be impossible [1].
Some key points:
- Secure key generation: Satoshi likely prioritized security, making it hard for anyone to access the keys.
- Air-gapped computer: Possibly used to prevent hacking or unauthorized access.
- No known communication: Satoshi hasn't been in touch with anyone since 2011.
