The pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, known for introducing decentralized digital currency and blockchain technology to the world.
Satoshi Nakamoto is the name used by the unknown person or group who created Bitcoin. In October 2008, Nakamoto published the foundational white paper “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System,” which outlined a purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash that could operate without the need for financial institutions. This document introduced the world to the concept of the blockchain, a decentralized and immutable public ledger that solves the double-spending problem for digital currencies. The Bitcoin network was launched in January 2009 with the mining of the first block, known as the genesis block.
