11 Powerful Quotes From The Creator of Bitcoin That I Love

Words from a man (or woman) who reinvented money

Who is the creator of Bitcoin?

It’s Satoshi Nakamoto.

Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? No one really knows for sure.

We don’t know if Satoshi is a he, a she, an alien creature from another dimension. Some even speculate the name describes a collective group of people. He’s probably God.

It doesn’t really matter. Besides, Vitalik Buterin, creator of the second-largest cryptocurrency Ethereum said there’s a real benefit to staying anonymous in a business with no one central figure — hence crypto’s decentralized nature.

Everyone involved in crypto agrees, however, Satoshi changed the world. Here are a few words from the man who reinvented money.
