"Dorsey Linked to Nakamoto: Twitter Founder as Bitcoin's Creator?"

Twitter Founder Jack Dorsey Linked to Satoshi Nakamoto in New Bitcoin Creator Theory

Speculation is mounting that Twitter co-founder and Block CEO Jack Dorsey may be the elusive Bitcoin creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. A detailed post by popular X user Sean Murray has outlined numerous coincidences and evidence linking Dorsey to Bitcoin's early days.

Murray noted that Dorsey wrote a manifesto about making a mark without leaving a trace in 2001, paraded himself around in a Satoshi shirt, and posted in 2003 that he was ending his dependence on the US dollar and creating a barter network. Murray also highlighted Dorsey's early participation in cryptographic mailing lists and forums, his discussions on pseudonyms, digital privacy, and financial decentralization, and his deep admiration for Bitcoin and persistent advocacy for its decentralization principles.

According to Murray, Dorsey was an active member of the cypherpunk community as early as 1996 and a known cryptography enthusiast and skilled programmer in multiple languages. The post highlights Dorsey's early participation in cryptographic mailing lists and forums, his history of discussing pseudonyms, digital privacy, and financial decentralization, and his deep admiration for Bitcoin and persistent advocacy for its decentralization principles.

Beyond that, key Bitcoin milestones align with significant dates in Dorsey's personal life. Specifically, Murray highlights Satoshi's forum activity, which coincided with Jack Dorsey's birthday and those of his family members. Murray's consequential evidence includes Dorsey's deep admiration for Bitcoin and persistent advocacy for its decentralization principles.

Murray's theory suggests that Bitcoin was Dorsey's "masterpiece." He describes it as an art form through which he aimed to transform digital finance while maintaining pseudonymity rather than complete anonymity. "The belief that Satoshi never wanted to be found is something that other people invented about Satoshi. Satoshi chose pseudonymity, not anonymity, as Jack so pointed out in a podcast with Lex Fridman. The reason why Jack would do all of the above, while not directly admitting it, is because Satoshi and Bitcoin are his art. And it's a masterpiece," Murray added.

Given the extensive circumstantial evidence, the theory connecting Jack Dorsey to Satoshi Nakamoto remains speculative but compelling. However, industry experts like Mathew Sigel,
