Australian entrepreneur Craig Wright openly acknowledged Satoshi Nakamoto, founder of the Internet virtual currency Bitcoin.
This recognition he made concluded over the years speculation about who invented bitcoin.
Wright provided technical evidence using bitcoin, which is known to be owned by bitcoin inventors, to support his claim. Some prominent figures in the bitcoin circle and the Bitcoin R & D core group also said Wright is real.
Shortly after Wright released his identity, Gavin Andresen of the Bitcoin Foundation expressed his support for Wright in his blog. He wrote: “I believe Craig Wright is the inventor of bitcoin.” Jon Matonis, an economist at the founding of the Bitcoin Foundation, said he was sure Wright said Really. Wright hopes to end the media’s public speculation about who is “Nakamoto” in the open.
After the media broke the news, Australian authorities quickly searched Wright’s home. However, the Australian tax authority said the search operation has nothing to do with bitcoin but rather a long-term investigation of tax issues.
