Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? This question and the answer to it, is the biggest mystery
in the crypto world, and possibly even this entire world. Was it a single person,
was it a group, or was it an alien entity who created money and value’s biggest revolution.
There are many theories, but today we dive into 2 of my top candidates. So who is Satoshi? Well
let’s take a shot at answering that in just over 10 minutes, because it’s time for Chico Crypto!!
Soo to begin…many theories are out there that say Satoshi Nakamoto was a group of cypher punks…who
came together under the pseudonym Satoshi, to launch the world’s first decentralized money.
I don’t believe that for one second…because group’s cannot keep secrets. There will always be
a weak link in a group, who spills the beans, and since the beans haven’t been spilled over 13 years
later…I can come to the conclusion that this was indeed not a group of people. It was a sole actor…
And I have 3 top candidates, sole actors, who I personally think it could be…Elon Musk,
Segay Nazarov, and Wei Dai…
So today we are going to dive into the 1st of these candidates, Elon Musk,
and bring forward the evidence, old & new, which makes me think they are Satoshi Nakamoto.
Through the next few weeks, I’ll be making videos on the others, Sergay Nazorov and Wei Dai
So let’s begin with the meme lord…Elon Musk. Elon has a lot of evidence that makes you think he
could be the one true Satoshi & I’ve created more than a few videos which dives into this evidence.
I don’t want to be a broken record, repeating myself over and over, so I will just summarize
what I’ve found and the full videos are down in the description if you want the big picture.
Number 1…Elon is the one of the founders of Paypal. The world’s first full suite internet
bank & if you didn’t know…Paypal’s original mission, was to create a decentralized currency.
Another Paypal founder, Luke Nosak spoke on this back in 2019. Let's listen in…
Now, Paypal was created by a merging of two companies. Elon Musk founded x.com,
the first online banking company…and Peter Thiel founded Confinity, the second
online banking company. They merged together in March of 2000 and Paypal was formed. Now
let’s listen to this interview from Elon Musk in 2005, when he explained just what x.com did.
Using a unique identifier, in x.com and Paypal’s case…an email address to send payments
to. If you didn’t know, Bitcoin uses a unique identifier, a public key..to send payments to.
Satoshi coded the original Bitcoin in c++ language and their is a great website called
the hunt for Satoshi which dives into this. The website says “Satoshi created Bitcoin using C++,
Hal Finney described Satoshi as a master of the language and suspected Satoshi to
be a young man due to its difficulty to learn. Elon was a young master of C++ and has sworn
by the language for years. Almost all of Elon Musk’s companies, even SpaceX, have used C++.”
Then of course there is this…in March of 2014, Elon Musk admitted that he was Saotshi on Twitter.
And what’s interesting, is that tweet came 1 week after Satoshi’s last words,
where he came back to the p2p forums, to say he was not
Dorian Nakamoto…a suspect the media went wild for back then.
Now it’s almost time to dive into the new “breaking” evidence I’ve found..but
before we get into that it’s time for a quick mention about the sponsor of this video,
Flype Protocol, and like always the full details of our arrangement are in the description
Flype is a unique DEX protocol unlocking the $200B liquidity market by transforming the LP token,
turning it from a “digital receipt” into a directly tradable asset. Currently,
to change an LP position requires multiple steps, forcing multiple gas fees. Flype protocol
transforms this time-consuming, expensive process into a single transaction.
Seamlessly change your liquidity position between different pools and protocols,
even cross-chain, or create and exit an LP directly into ETH,
all in a single transaction, saving users a lot of time and over 85% on gas fees
Flype is currently running on the Rinkeby Testnet and you can test it out on their website Flype.fi.
Part of the protocol launch, Flype is airdropping their MULTI-PASS NFT,
a non-transferable, soul-bound token that grants its holders governance rights as
well as access to all Flype’s early-stage activities.The whitelist is already full,
but Flype has allocated 200 new raffle spots exclusively for the Chico Crypto community.
To join the airdrop whitelist raffle simply fill out the form from the link in the description.
Now, if you didn’t know, Elon Musk has a love for Pokemon. He tweets about or uses memes featuring
pokemon all the time, and he has even talked about adding Pokemon Go functionality into Tesla’s.
Now Elon’s ex-girl of which they have had 2 children with, Grimez…also loves Pokemon. She
has even tweeted her own Pokemon card and then put out this in early 2021
“It’s not as popular right now. But Bitcoins also a cash cow. And even though she’s fallen some.
I still grew my initial sum. I’m told that I’m on the spectrum.
I catch crypto like ash ketchum. Crypto king, like Kim dot com. Get me some etherium!
So why am I bringing up Elon and Grimes love for Pokemon in relation to Satoshi?? Well let’s get
deep down the rabbit hole…Grimes told us with her lyrics “I catch crypto like ash ketchum”
So Back in 2020, Elon and Grimes welcomed their first kid, which sent
shockwaves through the media. “X-AE-A12”...so
how is this pronounced? Well Elon told us in his infamous Joe Rogan Podcast.
The AE in the name is pronounced ash, like ash ketchum…Now if you didn’t know,
Ash Ketchum is known by another name in his country of origin.
As we can see from Wikipedia it says “Ash Ketchum, known as Satoshi (サトシ) in Japan”
Yup Ash Ketchum is known as Satoshi In Japan…but
this goes even deeper. We know X stands for X in the name, AE stands for Ash,
what does A12 mean? If you didn’t know, X-Ash-A12 was born May 4th 2020…
2020 was the year of what? Well 2020 was the 12th anniversary of the Bitcoin whitepaper!
Could a12, stand for 12th anniversary? So read the name backwards with our connections,
12th anniversary, Ash or Satoshi, X-marks the spot…
But wait…there's more!! What about a leaked IP address? There is a great blog titled who is
Satoshi which dives into this. The blog says “In the Jan of 2009 when Hal and Satoshi were working
on Bitcoin Alpha version, Hal encountered an error with the software and he posted the debug log
to the mailing list. In the initial days of Bitcoin, the software used IP address
to send and receive bitcoins. For this reason the debug log becomes crucial for the investigation.
It reveals IP’s of 3 users who were connected to the IRC. This happened on 2009-01-10.
Satoshi and Hal were the only two people working on the project during that time.”
So where did Satoshi’s IP address come from?? Van Nuys, California and the blog says
“This is not a TOR exit node which implies that this is the IP address
used by Satoshi on 2009-01-10 and he was in Van Nuys on this day”
And then there is this article about Elon’s private life, and jet. The article says this “The
jet is registered to a subsidiary of SpaceX called Falcon Landing, named for its reusable rocket,
Federal Aviation Administration records show. Musk or his associates took an additional step,
common among top business executives, to request the travel not be logged on public
flight-tracking databases. Many of the flights took off from or landed at LA's Van Nuys airport,
a short drive from the tony neighborhood of Bel Air where Musk owns five separate mansions.”
So can we put Elon close to Van Nuys back in 2009? When this IP was leaked? Well this
Mansions Global article tells us, yes we can. They say “In 2012, after three years of renting it,
Mr. Musk bought a 20,248-square-foot white stucco Colonial mansion, according to Brian Ades,
a real-estate agent with Sotheby’s International Realty who represented Mr. Musk in his purchase
of the Los Angeles home. 3 years before 2012 is 2009…Elon was renting this mansion back in 2009.
Now there is one last piece of evidence, which puts this all together. Occam's Razor. Occam’s
Razor states that one should not increase the number of entities required to explain anything.
All things being equal, the simplest solution is often the best one.
Which Elon has put his own twist on. January of 2021 he tweeted “The most entertaining
outcome is the most likely” which he then said “Occam’s razor is actually the third most likely”
Wouldn’t the most entertaining outcome of who is Satoshi…be that Elon musk is Satoshi??
Well Elon in 2021, was the feature guest on the b-word conference,
a major Bitcion conference in which they talked about all things Bitcoin…guess
what Elon brought up during the talk. Occam’s razor and his own spin on it…
Wouldn’t it be simple, ironic, and entertaining that Elon Musk is Satoshi?
Me thinks so, what do you think?? Cheer’s Viewers I’ll see you next time!!
