There are some people who have claimed themselves as satoshi nakamoto. Craig is one of them. I'm sure all of them are fraud. Just trying to get into the focus, they are nothing but attention seeker. Anyway, can someone give me a complete list of people who have claimed them as satoshi nakamoto?
There are so many personalities that had claimed they are Satoshi Nakamoto way back, but it isn't really ever confirmed that either of them is the real founder of bitcoin. Some of the personalities that are involved in this claiming of identity/pseudonym are Hal Finney, Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto, Nick Szabo, and recently Craig Wright. I don't really think that Satoshi Nakamoto is really one of them because, in the first place, Nakamoto decided to hide behind a pseudonym to keep his identity private. With that, we can conclude that privacy is of importance to Nakamoto. It doesn't really appear to me that he will suddenly showcase himself to the world out of nowhere just to gain some recognition which clearly he doesn't like nor fond of because he hid for a long time already. I don't see any reason for him to tell his real identity and be invaded afterward.
These people who keep on claiming to be Nakamoto only want recognition, praise, and maybe money. Because as we all know, Satoshi is really well-known and by claiming they are him, people will be glorified to be their partner. This scenario could lead to scamming. So, it's really better to not easily believe what you see, read or hear over the internet or news. Always do thorough background checking before spreading data to avoid misinformation.
