Leah McGrath Goodman of Newsweek<\/em> has published a piece on bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, or more like her quest to find out the man’s real identity.<\/p>\n
Satoshi Nakamoto is the creator of bitcoin, for those unaware.<\/p>\n
Goodman actually approached (the alleged) Nakamoto to ask some questions regarding bitcoin, but was met with evasive answers:<\/p>\n
“I am no longer involved in that and I cannot discuss it,” he said to her, according to the piece. “It’s been turned over to other people. They are in charge of it now. I no longer have any connection.”<\/p>\n
This man — who almost none of us knew the identity of — graduated from California State Polytechnic University, and is not surprisingly great at math.<\/p>\n
An interesting statement from Nakamoto’s brother, Arthur:<\/p>\n
“My brother is an asshole. What you don’t know about him is that he’s worked on classified stuff. His life was a complete blank for a while. You’re not going to be able to get to him. He’ll deny everything. He’ll never admit to starting Bitcoin.”<\/p>\n
