“I’m Not Satoshi,” Says Adam Back, denying NYT Claim

After more than 15 years and countless investigations, the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto remains unknown. Now the New York Times thinks it has the answer, and the man they are pointing at is British cryptographer Adam Back.

According to Back, the phrase referred to a short film titled “Block 170, The First Transaction.” The film featured a stone engraved with “We Are All Satoshi” as part of its artistic concept.

He said his tweet was simply referencing the film, not suggesting any personal connection.

So Who Is Satoshi Nakamoto?

For over 15 years, the identity of Bitcoin’s creator has been the biggest mystery in the history of finance. Even one of the most detailed efforts by a major global newspaper has not provided a definitive answer.

Lastly, Back said he does not know who Satoshi is and believes that anonymity is actually beneficial. He noted that Bitcoin being founderless helps it be viewed as a new asset class.
