The real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto People have tried to link Satoshi to everyone over the years: Jeffrey Epstein Elon Musk Craig Wright Nick Szabo None of them actually fit. Epstein had money, not cypherpunk roots. Elon doesn’t disappear quietly. Craig Wright won’t stop talking. Szabo fits the ideas, but not the execution. The one person who does fit every box is Hal Finney. > First person besides Satoshi to run Bitcoin. > First to ever receive a BTC transaction. > Same ideology. > Same writing patterns. Satoshi disappeared once Bitcoin no longer needed a founder. Hal was already battling ALS at that time and later passed away around the same time satoshi disappeared, making confirmation impossible forever. And the ~1,000,000 BTC mined by Satoshi? Still untouched. Bitcoin didn’t need a founder you could subpoena, interview, or idolize. It needed a ghost. And Hal understood that better than anyone.
