The mystery surrounding Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, continues to draw attention. A new hypothesis suggests Len Sassaman could be behind it.

Len Sassaman Conspiracy as the Creator of Bitcoin

Satoshi Nakamoto remains a legend and an unresolved mystery. Some theories link him to Len Sassaman, a cryptographer known for his work on privacy and decentralization. This possible connection is discussed in the HBO documentary 'Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery' set to air on October 8, 2024. Even though Sassaman has passed away, his contributions to cryptography lead some to believe he might be behind Bitcoin.

Satoshi Nakamoto from Europe?

Analysis by Professor Bill Buchanan from Edinburgh Napier University suggests that Satoshi Nakamoto is likely from Europe, possibly the UK. His activity patterns align with European time zones. Satoshi mentioned the euro and used the term 'bloody', hinting at British influence. Considering Satoshi's style and interests, he may have originated from Europe, linking him to Len Sassaman.

Satoshi as an Academic

Many indications suggest that Satoshi was involved in academia during Bitcoin's development. According to Gavin Andresen, Satoshi was an academic who wanted to remain anonymous. Research shows increased activity during summer and winter breaks, indicating Satoshi was possibly involved in academia, similar to Len Sassaman. Security researcher Dan Kaminsky described Satoshi as a world-class programmer, preemptively securing his code against attacks. Satoshi's unique skills might reflect Len's expertise in Bitcoin's creation.

The existing evidence paints a picture of Satoshi Nakamoto potentially linked to Len Sassaman through academic work and cryptographic skills. However, the true identity of Bitcoin’s creator remains an unsolved enigma.
