Satoshi Nakamoto first started working on the Bitcoin protocol in 2007 when he was 53 years old. As many of you suspected, he didn't work on it alone, but rather received assistance from a few others. His real name isn't Satoshi Nakamoto, but it's very similar, both in amount of letters in first and last name, as well as syllables.. Bitcoin wasn't meant to be as huge and well established as it today, was more of a quirky "project" at the time, and was actually modeled after the U.S Dollar, but since he meant for it to be entirely virtual, this made it decentralized(Also why Bitcoin is not 100% anonymous aka Public Ledger). He's also Japanese American.

Many of you are asking, why didn't/doesn't Satoshi use the vast amount of Bitcoin's he has? Well the answer is simple, he's a modest type of guy, not into being famous, and receiving too much attention.(He does indeed have a Bitcoin account as of right now, though of course none of you know it's him..) Plus he suspected that being in control of that many Bitcoins would devalue his "project" in the eyes of others, particularly when Bitcoin was just released to the public. Besides, he's official "retired" now, and I can assure you, his salary before retirement was well over $100,000. Ftw, retirement fund.


Anyway, that's a small amount of info on Satoshi Nakamoto(alias). You might be interested in where I got this information from. Well let's just say I'm his peer(If you're reading this, you owe me )

*I also intentionally left out some information, can't tell you guys everything sorry*

Hope this clears up at least some confusion on the subject.
