Elon Musk revealed who Bitcoin's mysterious creator Satoshi Nakamoto might be

According to Elon Musk, the mysterious crypto expert Nick Saab may be Satoshi Nakamoto.

Musk told podcast host Lex Friedman that "he seems to be the biggest driver of the ideas behind Bitcoin."

Schobo has spoken publicly about the history of Bitcoin and blockchain technology, but has repeatedly denied his claim that he is Satoshi Nakamoto.

Elon Musk seems to agree with many that the super-mysterious cryptocurrency expert Nick Saab may be Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of the digital currency Bitcoin.

In a podcast released Tuesday, when asked what he thought of Satoshi's true identity, Musk told ARTIFICIAL researcher Lex Friedman: "You can look at the evolution of ideas before Bitcoin was launched and see who wrote those ideas."

The Tesla billionaire said that while he "apparently" doesn't know exactly who created Bitcoin, Saab's theory appears to be the basis for creating the world's leading cryptocurrency.

"It seems like Nick Saab is more likely than anyone else to be responsible for the development of these ideas," he said. He claims he's not Satoshi Nakamoto, but I'm not sure if that's true. But he seems to be the biggest driver of the ideas behind Bitcoin. ”

Bitcoin was originally proposed by Satoshi Nakamoto in October 2008, and it was thought that it could be a pseudonym for one person or several people.

In 2014, a team of linguistics researchers studied Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin white paper, as well as the work of Schaubbo and 10 other potential creators. They found the results to be indisputable.

"The linguistic similarities between Schobo's work and the Bitcoin white paper are incredible," the researchers said, adding that "none of the other possible authors do so well." ”

A 2015 New York Times report also blamed Saab for bitcoin's invention. He has spoken openly about the history of Bitcoin and blockchain technology, but he has repeatedly denied being the anonymous inventor behind the digital asset. Another reason he is associated with Bitcoin is that he created the "Bit Gold" cryptocurrency in 1998.

Musk said he doesn't think the identity of Bitcoin's creator matters. "What the hell is the name?" It is a name attached to an idea. What does this really mean?"

To support his point, he quoted William Shakespeare' famous quote: "Roses, whatever they are called, still smell the same."
