Satoshi Nakamoto Returns After 5 Years: What Does It Mean for Bitcoin?

Published by

The crypto community cannot stop talking about the latest buzz on the market. Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto’s account has just posted for the first time in 5 years! What could it possibly mean? Can some hacker/internet expert reveal his identity with the present technology? Is this a sign for a bully rally to come?

All we can do is get our facts clear. Read on!

Breaking the Silence

Satoshi Nakamoto’s last online presence was felt on October 31, 2018, when he published a series of posts explaining the inner workings of the Bitcoin peer-to-peer blockchain system. Since then, his digital footprint had grown cold, leaving the cryptocurrency community waiting in anticipation.

However, all that changed on October 2 when an unexpected post appeared on Nakamoto’s account. In the article, Bitcoin was called a “predicate machine” with several significant yet undiscovered components. The author, who goes by an alias, pledges to explore topics not made plain in the Bitcoin whitepaper in the upcoming months. 

In Satoshi Nakamoto’s words, “Some of these ideas were touched upon in the early years; now is the time to extrapolate and explain” those concepts that are difficult to understand. Interestingly, the piece has received over 1 million views in just over 24 hours after publication.

A Look Back at Satoshi’s Vision

Nearly 15 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto introduced the world to Bitcoin through the renowned Bitcoin whitepaper. His revolutionary idea for a digital currency system was detailed on the metzdowd.com forum, where he explained that Bitcoin was conceived as a novel peer-to-peer electronic currency system that eliminated the need for a reliable middleman.

For Nakamoto, the value of this token went beyond conventional digital payment systems, replacing the outdated models based on centralized minting. It’s widely believed that the Bitcoin code was created prior to the publication of the whitepaper.

The Community Reacts

The public showed a mixed reaction in the comments section of the Twitter post. Some say he is fake and sarcastically name him “faketoshi,” and some say the word “predicate machine” proves that he is not the real ‘Satoshi Nakamoto’ but someone from the government. 

However, the other half of the people are optimistic about his comeback post. There’s speculation that says, “The first post since 2018 has to mean something”. 

Some comments expect a bitcoin bullish period comeback with positive comments, while some people sarcastically point out that there was a bitcoin bear period after Satoshi’s last Twitter post. 

What’s Next for the King?

The Bitcoin code was designed to ensure transparency and security in financial transactions, making it an attractive alternative to traditional banking systems. Satoshi Nakamoto’s decision to release the whitepaper after developing the code allowed for a comprehensive understanding of the underlying technology and its potential applications.
