One person that some in the cryptocurrency community claim is behind the Satoshi Nakamoto alias is Russian Prime Minister Vladamir Putin. This article will discuss, "Did Putin Really Create Bitcoin? Why Is It Good For Bitcoin To Have an Anonymous Creator?" Let's get started.
Did Putin Really Create Bitcoin?
Russia recently announced a proposal to ban all use and creation (mining) of cryptocurrencies in the country. This idea probably came from the country's planned launch of a digital rouble sometime in early 2022.
This makes the idea that Russia played any role in the creation of Bitcoin highly unlikely.
Why develop a cryptocurrency if the long-term goal is to ban it in the future?
It is not logical. Granted, Russia may not have anticipated the future launch of a digital currency back in 2009 (unlikely), but it may not have realized that it would try to challenge US financial hegemony at all.
Having said that, if Putin was responsible for the creation of Bitcoin, he has undoubtedly abandoned it in favor of a tightly regulated digital ruble.
Why Is It Good For Bitcoin To Have an Anonymous Creator?
The true identity of Satoshi doesn't matter at this point. It's actually better that he has remained anonymous because the focus is on the project rather than the individual. Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has even talked about how he wishes people focused more on Ethereum rather than himself. Buterin is not Ethereum, but that's a hard concept for people to understand because Buterin is the face of Ethereum.
Bitcoin does not have that problem because it's faceless. Anyone can be Nakamoto, so the focus shifts towards the project and what the project puts forward rather than the person or people behind it.
Yes, even if the CIA was behind Bitcoin it does not matter because the project has its own ideology that goes beyond that of any individual or government.
Satoshi Nakamoto made the right decision by staying anonymous. And at this point we likely will never see someone come forward with proof that they are Nakamoto due to security concerns.
