I think I found a little easter egg on the yenten wallet loading screen; perhaps satoshi started crypto development in the 90's? Satoshi are you here?

Also this was randomly posted in the coinsmarkets box today when this was the discussion.

私は中本哲です。そして、はい、私はYentenを作成しました。それは私の好きな作品です。

Google translate gave me:
I am Teru Nakamoto. And yes, I created Yenten. That is my favorite work.

Either it is Nakamoto, it's an elaborate hoax (unlikely), or it's 4chan/anon crew (who may have been the original bitcoin devs anyway).

I think it is Satoshi and Wei Dai. Wei worked with satoshi closely and also developed the precursor to bitcoin in the 90's.

b-money

In 1998, Dai helped to spark interest in cryptocurrencies[10] with the publication of "b-money, an anonymous, distributed electronic cash system". In the paper, Dai outlines the basic properties of all modern day cryptocurrency systems: "...a scheme for a group of untraceable digital pseudonyms to pay each other with money and to enforce contracts amongst themselves without outside help".[11]
