Recent claims suggest that Twitter founder Jack Dorsey might be one of the authors of Bitcoin. Various aspects are examined, including his technical skills and historical coincidences.
Dorsey's Technical Skills
Murray claims that Dorsey may be behind Bitcoin's creation due to his programming experience in C++, the language used for Bitcoin's original codebase. Dorsey has been using C++ since the mid-1990s.
Cryptographic Connections
John Murray points out that Dorsey was active in the cypherpunk community and shared cryptography content online in the 1990s, and maintained ties with early Bitcoin figures like Hal Finney and Adam Back.
Date Coincidences and Facts
Murray highlights date coincidences, such as Dorsey’s birthday coinciding with the date Satoshi joined the Bitcoin forum. The first Bitcoin transaction was also related to a date significant to Dorsey’s mother.
While Dorsey has not provided direct confirmation, several circumstances and historical facts keep interest alive in this theory. Satoshi Nakamoto remains one of the most enigmatic figures in the cryptocurrency world.
