I’m not guessing. I believe there is real evidence.
If you look closely, many facts point to the same person.
Crypto holders, please hear me out.
I believe Hal Finney was Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin.
Why Hal Finney?
Hal Finney was one of the first people ever to use Bitcoin.
In fact, the very first Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi was sent to him.
That alone puts him in a very small and special group.
But it doesn’t stop there.
Hal was a top-level cryptography expert, an early cypherpunk, and worked on PGP encryption years before Bitcoin existed.
He had all the skills needed to build Bitcoin from the ground up, including proof-of-work systems that look very similar to Bitcoin’s design.
A Strange Coincidence
Here’s something that makes people uncomfortable:
Hal lived just a few blocks away from a man named Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto.
This is public information.
If you wanted to hide behind a fake name, choosing the name of someone who lives nearby would be perfect camouflage.
Writing Style and Timing
When people compare Hal’s emails, forum posts, and code comments with Satoshi’s writings, there are many similarities:
Same tone
Same clear and disciplined writing
Same dry sense of humor
Timing also matters.
Satoshi disappeared from the internet around the same time Hal’s ALS illness became severe.
As Hal’s health got worse, Satoshi went silent forever.
No goodbye. No explanation. Just gone.
The Bitcoin That Was Never Touched
Hal mined a lot of Bitcoin early on, but those coins were never moved.
No selling.
No cashing out.
No exit scam.
That makes sense if the creator didn’t build Bitcoin for money.
If Hal were alive today, those coins could be worth over $100 billion.
Hal once said he believed Bitcoin could become a global reserve asset.
Bitcoin was designed exactly for that purpose.
Final Thought
Can anyone prove Hal Finney was Satoshi?
No. Not 100%.
But if Satoshi was one person, and not a group, Hal Finney fits better than anyone else.
And maybe that was the whole point.
Bitcoin doesn’t need a leader.
It only needed an idea.
And the person behind it made sure that idea would live forever.
