I have a Quick Theory.

I’m extremely satisfied Nick Szabo is Satoshi Nakamoto.

My Reasoning:

1. He has nice curiosity in numismatics, and has a weblog about accumulating forex. The Twitter account that was involved with Hal Finney when Bitcoin was created additionally regularly posted about forex (notice: gold is a concurrent theme.)

2. Nick created Bit Gold, the precursor to Bitcoin and decentralized forex on a blockchain. He has a pc science diploma and a doctorate in jurisprudence. He would know the implications of forex, and in addition create his personal utilizing a pc. He would additionally see nice worth in being silent, given his information of the legislation.

3. Nick has no proof of getting contact with Satoshi. Nonetheless, the individuals round Satoshi do, comparable to Hal Finney or Wei Dai. Szabo has verified contact with these individuals outdoors of his Satoshi pseudonym.

4. He created a pseudonym utilizing his identify. Nick is Hungarian, and surnames come first in Hungary, so conventional writing his identify would match initials with Satoshi.

5. A research concluded Szabo and Nakamoto have related, if not the identical linguistics: “In 2014, The Aston College Centre for Forensic Linguistics carried out a linguistic research on Bitcoin's white paper to find out the id of Nakamoto. The group concluded that Nick Szabo was Nakamoto primarily based on linguistic similarities.”

6. Nick Szabo by accident says “…I designed Bitco—Gold with two layers as a result of…” in an interview on the Tim Ferris Present. Freudian slip?

Conclusion: Nick Szabo is the kind of individual to have the ability to pull off Bitcoin, given his nice laptop information and curiosity in forex. I personally imagine Nick Szabo is Satoshi Nakamoto as a result of similarities and low likelihood of coincidence.

Alternate Conclusion: Nick Szabo shouldn’t be Satoshi, however slightly a member of the Satoshi Nakamoto moniker. I personally imagine Nick Szabo has no less than labored on Bitcoin.
