Who is the creator of Bitcoin is still a mysterious figure, only known by the name Satoshi Nakamoto. But it is estimated that he has a lot of money because he keeps a lot of Bitcoin, which continues to increase in value.
Currently Nakamoto's net worth is estimated at USD 73 billion, making him the 15th richest person. Reportedly, he holds between 750 thousand to 1 million Bitcoins.
Bitcoin price hit a high point this month, above USD 68K. There are even projections that this favorite cryptocurrency will break the price of USD 100 thousand by the end of this year.
Nakamoto described his vision of a digital currency in 2008, before launching it a few months later in January 2009. After collaborating with other developers for 2 years, he has disappeared to this day.
Several Bitcoin wallets believed to belong to Nakamoto were left untouched, where their contents continued to soar. Who is Nakamoto is still a big question mark.
In 2014 there was a man named Dorian Nakamoto who was named by Newsweek as the creator of Bitcoin. But the allegations were not proven, and Dorian issued his right of reply by stating that he was not the creator of Bitcoin.
In 2015, the house of a person suspected of being the creator of Bitcoin was raided by the Australian federal police. The house is occupied by an Australian businessman named Craig Steven Wright, whose name suddenly rose to fame after being reported by Wired and Gizmodo. The two media said that Wright might be the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the name of the creator of Bitcoin.
Wright himself is an Australian citizen, computer engineer, lecturer, entrepreneur, and a person with many academic degrees and many companies connected to his name.
Later, in 2019, he even claimed to be the true creator of Bitcoin and threatened to sue anyone who called him a liar. However, many believe that Wright does not have strong evidence.
