The famous inventor and businessman Elon Musk recently denied rumors that he was the creator of Bitcoin, which until now is known under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.

Musk made the comment about it through his official Twitter account. The tweet where Musk states that it is not Satoshi, came as a response to another tweet in which the one that quotes a review that describes the suspicions that the South African millionaire can be the creator of Bitcoin.

Interestingly, the South African also noted that although a friend had sent him some bitcoins a few years ago, he could not remember where he kept them. What also could raise some suspicions, since the "real" Satoshi has not touched his bitcoins, which now would have the value of more than 6 billion dollars.

But the suspicions do not end there, because in the note - written by a former fellow of SpaceX, one of the companies of Musk - on the rumors that Musk was hiding under the aforementioned pseudonym, in principle it is exposed that the Bitcoin code was written by a mathematician with a good command of the C ++ programming language -which in fact was used in SpaceX-, qualities that of course Musk has. In addition to this, it is also reported that the South African may have had similar reasons to the mysterious Satoshi in terms of the elimination of banks and centralized authorities.

Likewise, the note takes as a coincidence the language, for example, the occasional use of terms like "bloody hard" in the appearances of Satoshi in forums; which apparently is quite common in Musk's expressions. Not to mention a slightly strange tweet from 2014, in which Musk said that Satoshi Nakamoto's identity had been discovered.

It should be noted that Musk is the co-founder of -among others- PayPal, Tesla Motors and SpaceX, the private company dedicated to the largest space exploration in the world, and by June of this year his fortune was estimated at 20 billion dollars. Dollars; making him the richest person in the world number 56. Among its objectives are to stop global warming and reduce the risk of human extinction with the creation of a colony of about one million people on the planet Mars.

On the other hand, since the birth of the cryptocurrency and the mystery that generated the "name" of its creator, numerous hypotheses have been made and several suspects have been identified, such as Nick Szabo, Hal Finney and Dorian Nakamoto. Even some of these suspects have come to claim that they are, as the Australian Craig Wright, who claimed by 2016 to be Satoshi Nakamoto, giving reasons and a series of instructions on how to verify that he owns the cryptographic signature belonging to the true creator; although finally that could never be proven. Shortly after, in the same year, Wright tried to patent blockchain and Bitcoin, which goes totally against the initial ideals of this technology.

Previously, the "real" Satoshi Nakamoto had declared himself not to be Wright, just at the time he expressed the well-known phrase "We are all Satoshi". This statement can lead us to think that behind the pseudonym are hiding all or several of the suspects so far, or that simply the essence of Bitcoin resides in their community and not in its author.

Now, we can reflect a little and consider why we should not know who Nakamoto is. Among the reasons are the fragile legality that could involve the whole thing, the inconveniences of fame, or that in the end it does not matter who is really the creator, because the real protagonist is the cryptocurrency. The fact is that no one yet knows with certainty who is hiding behind the well-known pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, and we may never know it.
