Newsweek hat den Erfinder von Bitcoin ausfindig gemacht. Der Mann hatte sich, nachdem er die Krypto-Währung gebastelt hatte, in die Anonymität zurückgezogen und wurde zum Mysterium. Was mich nun wundert: Satoshi Nakamoto ist kein Pseudonym, mir ist schleierhaft, warum man den nicht vorher ausfindig gemacht hat.
Far from leading to a Tokyo-based whiz kid using the name “Satoshi Nakamoto” as a cipher or pseudonym (a story repeated by everyone from Bitcoin’s rabid fans to The New Yorker), the trail followed by Newsweek led to a 64-year-old Japanese-American man whose name really is Satoshi Nakamoto. He is someone with a penchant for collecting model trains and a career shrouded in secrecy, having done classified work for major corporations and the U.S. military.
Standing before me, eyes downcast, appeared to be the father of Bitcoin. Not even his family knew.
