Linux author "claims" to be Satoshi Nakamoto
The intrigue becomes more and more intense regarding the creator of the crypto project that grabs the world's attention
Among the most popular operating systems, Linux is the only one that works with open source code, which has drawn the attention of the crypto community.
Such attention is not only directed to the project for computers, it is also put on its creator, Linus Benedict Torvalds, who has been on the list of possible Satoshi.
A few days ago Torvalds made an alleged statement, which revived the spark of speculation to discover the face of the cryptographic genius.
Linus Torvalds declaration form
The community erupted with an action by Torvald that was directly related to Nakamoto, and although it did not fuel anything in a spoken way, netizens were in the position of starting more conspiracy theories.
Within the same Linux operating system, the creator modified a code inside the Kernel or core, which has been discovered and decoded by cryptographic means and uploaded to the network.
Said hidden and ingenious message, only consists of a simple and short line that literally places "Name: I am Satoshi".
This without further indications or fabric to cut, on this simple sentence that has made the "investigation" to discover who is the true father of Bitcoin even more dizzy .
Perfect candidate to be Nakamoto
Linus has nothing to envy of other billionaire geniuses. He has been knowing for years about the magnitude of the cryptographic field, and this is demonstrated by the tendency to generate open source code.
Media claim that Torvalds has these technological insights since before the publication of the bitcoin cryptocurrency whitepaper, in 2008.
There is a record of a Linus Benedict Torvalds being remarkable on this subject for much more than 30 years. While the construction of the whitepaper only takes 14 years (or so it is known).
He has denied it many times
Despite having all these summations to become the perfect candidate, on multiple occasions the 52-year-old creator has flatly denied being Satoshi Nakamoto.
Which has caused his name to be crossed off the list of preferred candidates; leaving this personality alone and then moving on to the next face that looks like an ideal candidate.
Although many netizens also think that the name or names, listed as Nakamoto group do not want to reveal their identity at this time. And even if they find the true identity, he will deny it.
For this reason suspicions continue regarding Linus as the father of Bitcoin; which without a doubt has brought like a wave to the other cryptocurrencies that have been created, until reaching today's market, which continues to grow constantly.
Strong Reality or Simple Joke?
It is not the first time that a situation like this has happened in the cryptographic network, since the community and followers of Bitcoin will always have their ideas and theories.
Most likely, Linus has made a simple joke, which has been a bad one in the eyes of the most sensitive Internet users, regarding the identity of the leading Bitcoiner.
In addition, we must remember that the man has not made public anything other than that encrypted sentence, which has been revealed by an information medium, not him.
In that case there are many holes in the story, which may or may not consider Linus as yet another personality claiming to be Nakamoto just to get hold of the fortune stored in Satoshi's account.
Said fortune has a balance of 150 BTC, which over time has been revaluing to exorbitant levels.
Other candidates to be Nakamoto
Although Linus has been involved in the ideal candidates, Internet users also accuse other characters with a high intellect in the type of technology that cryptocurrencies use.
The fight of those who most enter Satoshi's position are: Nick Szabo and Hal Finey. That in the same way as Linus, they have tirelessly denied not being this mythical character.
According to the description that the creator of Bitcoin placed after publishing the whitepaper, it was from a man from Japan, and with a date of birth in the year 1975.
But it is impossible to be governed by that fictitious presentation.
Believing that there may be the possibility that the true creators become responsible for Bitcoin is a little bit dreamy. It does not seem that it will happen.
Because the intended purpose would not be generated in a cryptographic world. As described by Satoshi before his disappearance.
Meanwhile, Linus Torvalds has not given an answer regarding the decoding by the cryptographic means.
