Bitcoin is like digital cash - but you control it, not the bank.
Did you know the inventor of Bitcoin is still a mystery? The person or maybe even a group used the name Satoshi Nakamoto when they published the idea for Bitcoin in 2008 and launched it in 2009. Satoshi’s main goal was to create a new kind of money you could use online, directly with others, without relying on banks or governments telling you what you can do with your cash.
Instead of showing up on magazine covers, Satoshi preferred to stay anonymous. People worldwide have tried to guess who Satoshi is, suggesting famous cryptographers, tech wizards, and even regular folks but nobody’s ever proved it.
Here’s something wild: Satoshi owns more than a million bitcoin, worth over $100 billion today, yet hasn’t touched a single coin since disappearing in 2010. Imagine inventing something that changes the world, and then walking away without fame or fortune.
Why hide at all? Maybe Satoshi wanted the world to focus on Bitcoin itself, not a single person. By staying secret, they made Bitcoin stronger: open, fair, and belonging to everyone who uses it.
So next time you hear the name Satoshi Nakamoto, remember it stands for the spirit of independent, secure money and the ingenuity of someone who showed the world a new way to trust and trade.
