Satoshi Nakamoto

Satoshi Nakamoto is the name used by the creator of Bitcoin. Nobody knows who he is.

• On October 31, 2008, he published the Bitcoin white paper: Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.
• On January 3, 2009, he mined the first block of Bitcoin (Bitcoin's genesis block).
• In 2011 he wrote that he had moved on to other things, and went quiet.
• Bitcoin has no owner and no centre. Like The Lingonberry Organisation, it is decentralised.
