Is Jack Dorsey Satoshi Nakamoto? Viral Post Sparks Bitcoin Founder Debate

Published by

Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, is still unknown. While we know that he founded the world’s first and largest cryptocurrency and holds a significant amount of BTC worth millions, the rest of his identity remains a mystery. Despite many attempts, no one has been able to solve it—until now, perhaps. A recent post on X has gone viral, suggesting that jack dorsey , the former CEO of Twitter, could be the person behind Bitcoin.

Is it possible? Let’s explore the arguments presented in the post.

Who is Jack Dorsey?

Jack Dorsey is a well-known figure in the tech world. He co-founded Twitter (now X) and Block INC, and is the founder of Bluesky, a decentralized social media platform. Dorsey has also been involved with cryptocurrency for years, which raises the question: could he have created Bitcoin?

The post makes the case that Dorsey’s background in computer science and mathematics, along with his expertise in several programming languages, gives him the skills to have developed Bitcoin. Additionally, it points out that Dorsey was involved in the 1996 crypto punk movement, which focused on digital cryptography, further linking him to the crypto world.

Key Timeline Matches Between Jack and Bitcoin

Several strange coincidences in Dorsey’s timeline are outlined in the post, suggesting a possible connection between him and the creation of Bitcoin:

  • 2003: Dorsey posted about abandoning the US dollar and starting a barter system, which aligns with Bitcoin’s decentralized nature.
  • 2008: Dorsey tweeted a phrase about sailing, and the next day, Bitcoin.org was registered.
  • 2009: Bitcoin’s first transaction happened on Dorsey’s mother’s birthday, adding to the series of odd events.
  • 2009: Satoshi joined the Bitcoin forum on Dorsey’s birthday.
  • 2010: Satoshi’s last mined block occurred on Dorsey’s father’s birthday.
  • 2010: Satoshi disappeared just as Dorsey became more involved with Twitter and Square.

Cryptic Reference to Bitcoin in Jack’s Past

The post also highlights a curious detail: in Dorsey’s 2003 bio, he mentioned crypto, pseudonyms, and a “4 AM hack,” all of which match the timestamps in Bitcoin’s code. Furthermore, the original Bitcoin source code included a sailor’s saying, something Dorsey would recognize because of his sailing background.

The post goes further, pointing out that Bitcoin transitions involved an address labeled “jD2m.” This, according to the post, links the address to Dorsey’s San Francisco location, suggesting his involvement in Bitcoin’s early days.

Jack’s Actions and Bitcoin Advocacy After Satoshi Disappeared

Dorsey has long been a vocal supporter of Bitcoin. In 2012, he called Bitcoin “an amazing movement,” and he was frequently seen wearing a Satoshi T-shirt, adding fuel to the speculation. 

The post also points out an interesting connection: Alyssa Milano, Dorsey’s close friend, wrote books about characters with hidden identities—parallels that seem to reflect the mystery surrounding Dorsey and Satoshi Nakamoto.

Finally, the post mentions that Dorsey subtly acknowledged the possibility that he could be Satoshi in interviews, without outright confirming it. Additionally, Dorsey responded indirectly to Craig Wright’s attempts to reveal Satoshi’s identity, adding to the mystery.
