| Linus Torvalds did not create Bitcoin Mystery solved Linus Torvalds has squashed an internet rumour that he is Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto. While we would have thought it obvious, the rumour started when Torvalds had changed a single line in the Linux Kernel. 'Name = I am Satoshi....' Torvalds himself has been suspected of being Nakamoto several times over the years. But no one in their right mind would think he was Nakamoto. However, being of right mind is not normally associated with upholders of conspiracy theories or hard-core open sources so there were webpages with many people were discussing the "evidence," Then Steven Vaughan-Nichols did something extremely radical, he actually asked Torvalds. After all, if he was Satoshi Nakamoto, he would be sitting on a billion or two of original bitcoins. https://fudzilla.com/news/54332-linu...create-bitcoin |
