“I don’t even know who Satoshi is, and I think it’s good for Bitcoin that it is, because it helps Bitcoin to be seen as a new class of wealth, a rare digital asset,” Back he finished.
Therefore, Back he insisted that ‘we are all Satoshi’ meaning that Bitcoin is widely distributed and not owned by one person. However, he he said that the real Satoshi can be revealed through a legacy involving about 1.1 million BTC associated with Nakamoto’s dormant wallets.
