Satoshi Nakamoto is the anonymous creator (individual or team) of Bitcoin and blockchain, whose true identity has not been definitively confirmed as of December 2025.

Core Milestones

- 2008-10-31: Released the white paper "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System," proposing a decentralized electronic cash solution.
- 2009-01-03: Mined the Bitcoin genesis block, embedding the headline of the day from The Times, released Bitcoin v0.1.0 open-source client, officially launching the Bitcoin network.
- End of 2010-2011-04: Gradually withdrew from the community, transferring project maintenance to others, and has had no public activities since then.

Key Contributions

- Technical Breakthrough: Solved the "double-spending" problem using PoW and distributed ledger, laying the foundation for blockchain.
- Economic Design: Set the total supply of Bitcoin at 21 million coins, with the smallest unit being a Satoshi (1 Satoshi = 0.00000001 BTC), to be mined around the year 2140.
- Assets and Impact: Early mining reportedly yielded around 750,000-1,100,000 BTC, with the address's assets remaining largely untouched; anonymity is seen as a core manifestation of Bitcoin's decentralized philosophy.

Identity Mystery

There have been many speculations (such as Craig Wright, Hal Finney, etc.), but no conclusive evidence has emerged. In 2024, a UK court also dismissed Wright's claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto.
