“Satoshi found”? That's why it's most likely not him.
The New York Times, after 18 months of investigation, points to Adam Back as a possible creator $BTC
And the arguments look non-trivial.
He created Hashcash — the prototype of Proof-of-Work.
He described the principles $BTC back in the 90s.
He was at the center of the cypherpunk movement.
And it was he who Satoshi wrote to before the publication of the whitepaper.
Next — it gets even more interesting.
Text analysis shows a similar style: the same rare phrases, constructions, even mistakes.
The perfect “author's fingerprint”.
Plus, the strange timing.
Back disappears from discussions about electronic money just when Satoshi appears.
And returns — when he disappears.
Sounds like a puzzle coming together.
But there is a problem.
No direct evidence.
Only indirect coincidences, which are already criticized as “strained”.
And we have seen this more than once.
Every few years the market “finds” Satoshi.
And every time — without a finale.
Because the real test is simple.
Not the writing style.
Not the history.
But access to early $BTC .
And as long as no one shows it —
all these investigations remain beautiful theories.
