Rebirth of England.

Chapter 796 Satoshi Nakamoto

In Barron’s previous life, many people believed that “Satoshi Nakamoto” was a Japanese. Even the information Barron read on the “Satoshi Nakamoto” encyclopedia at the time confirmed that he was a Japanese. The most widely circulated “Satoshi Nakamoto photo” on the Internet also showed a middle-aged Japanese man who was unkempt…

However, the person in the photo is named Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto. He was born in 1949 and is a Japanese American. He graduated from California State Polytechnic University with a bachelor's degree in physics and once served in the U.S. military. It is because of this identity and background that many people believe that he fits the image of "Satoshi Nakamoto".

However, it was later proved that Dorian Nakamoto was not the real “Satoshi Nakamoto”.

Speaking of which, the reason why there is such a saying that "Satoshi Nakamoto" is Japanese is also supported by several aspects of evidence...

In addition to the fact that the name Satoshi Nakamoto he used on the Internet is a Japanese name, the personal information he registered on a website called P2008PFoundation in 2 stated that he was born on April 1975, 4, lived in Japan, and was male...

In addition, the website bitcoin.org he registered on August 2008, 8, initially used an anonymous registration service provider in Japan, and the server was hosted on a Japanese ISP, Internet service provider...

Perhaps for this reason, Japan later developed rapidly in the field of cryptocurrency and also maintained an open attitude towards it.

At the beginning, the intelligence team of "Operation S" also thought so.

But later, experts among them analyzed the content of the posts published by Satoshi Nakamoto on the Internet. From 2008 to 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto appeared on the Cryptography mailing list, Sorceforge development platform, P2P Foundation website, and Bitcointalk forum. His speeches were analyzed from multiple angles such as linguistics and cryptography.

In the end, the intelligence team concluded that Satoshi Nakamoto was probably born in England, or his native language education was British English.

Apart from the fact that one of the sentences Nakamoto left in the Genesis Block was a headline from the British Times, he never used Japanese in all his messages. Instead, he used English fluently. Especially in his speech on BitcoinTalk, there were many British English words.

For example, on May 2010, 5, Satoshi Nakamoto left a message saying:

“Sorry to be a wet blanket, But, writing a description of Bitcoin for general audiences is bloody hard.”

Among them, bloody hard is a very typical British English usage.

And his message on August 2010, 8:

"As a thought experiment, imagine there was a base metal as scarce as gold but with the following properties..."

The word colour in “boring grey in colour” has a u in British English but not in American English.

In addition, analysts also believe that Satoshi Nakamoto himself is very likely in North America, because according to the time he posted on various websites, only within the American time zone, based on the frequency of his postings, his active time is all between 9 am and 23 pm, which perfectly matches the active time of normal people!

Of course, judging from Satoshi Nakamoto’s actions, many of the contradictions may be the result of his deliberate use of anti-reconnaissance tactics to release smoke screens.

However, in the end, the hackers of the intelligence team successfully penetrated all the proxy servers deployed by Satoshi Nakamoto through technical means and found his real Internet address - thus confirming that he was indeed located in the United States.

After locking down his true identity, Barron got the detailed information about Satoshi Nakamoto. It can be learned that he lived in England before graduating from college, then went to the United States to obtain a master's degree in finance, entered Wall Street, worked in many banks, and was stationed in Japan for two years - he knows a little Japanese, which can also explain why he used the Japanese name "Satoshi Nakamoto" to publish information on the Internet.

The reason why Barron sent people to find "Satoshi Nakamoto" was certainly not just to satisfy his own curiosity.

In his previous life, on April 2011, 4, Satoshi Nakamoto sent his last email to a developer, leaving this message:

“I’m moving on to other things, and Gavin and the others will be great to take over the Bitcoin project.”

From then on, he disappeared.

Until BitC became successful and was known by more and more people, and because its price broke new highs again and again, it was amazing. Countless people couldn't help but wonder, where did Satoshi Nakamoto go and who was he?
Barron sent people to monitor Satoshi Nakamoto, and he also wanted to know why he chose to disappear from the public eye from that time on. Was it because he got seriously ill, or died accidentally, or as some conspiracy theories say, was BitC itself a scam by the United States, or some big capital behind it?

You know, this conspiracy theory was still very popular later.

Some even believe that BitC was not created by Satoshi Nakamoto alone, but by a team.

For example, some people started with Satoshi Nakamoto’s name, which may mean “CIA” in Japanese…

Or you can split it up and think that the name represents that BitC is a project jointly developed by four companies: Samsung, Toshiba, Nakamichi and Motorola.

Of course, this speculation seems reasonable, but it is actually very far-fetched.

After all, the success of BitC was actually largely accidental. Even the blockchain technology represented by BitC - which was later considered to be one of the four pillars of the "fourth technological revolution" on par with artificial intelligence, big data and cloud computing - actually does not have many application scenarios that can be realized at present, or even with the hardware conditions ten years later.

For a long time after its birth, BitC did not enter the mainstream vision. Even the total value of all coins including BitC and Ethereum was far less than other traditional financial investment products. It was not until nearly ten years after the birth of BitC that mainstream institutions began to try to intervene in this market...

To be honest, judging from the past experience of European and American government agencies or big capital, if you say that they have spent more than ten years slowly pushing forward a so-called "financial scam", and considering that Baron is now dealing with people at the top level in Europe and the United States, he simply won't believe it.

In Barron’s view, it is the “anarchist” and “libertarian” attributes of BitC, as well as the disappearance of Satoshi Nakamoto, the founder who is said to own more than 110 million BitCs, that are the main reasons why BitC attracted many technicians and was eventually widely accepted.

The reason why Barron took the initiative to look for Satoshi Nakamoto was not only to solve the doubts of his previous life, but also to make sure that Satoshi Nakamoto and the BitCs he possessed would not have a negative impact on the development of BitC - at least before the size of BitC reached a considerable scale, it was necessary to ensure that the 110 million BitCs were in a "frozen" state.

After all, the total amount of BitC is only 2100 million, and the annual output is halved every year...

Well, actually, Satoshi Nakamoto may not have as many as 110 million BitC now, because in the early days of BitC's launch in 2009, Baron had already arranged for people to participate in the mining of BitC.

Affected by this, under the premise that the daily BitC output remains constant, the amount that Satoshi Nakamoto can mine will naturally decrease accordingly.
