The identity of the Bitcoin creator, whose last known appearance on the internet dates back to 2014, remains crypto's biggest mystery. Multiple self-proclaimed Satoshi candidates have emerged, with Australian computer scientist Craig Wright being the most prominent example. The Satoshi mystery has become a breeding ground for various unfounded conspiracy theories, with some even going as far as suggesting that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is behind it. The most popular (and plausible) Satoshi candidate is none other than cyberpunk legend Hal Finney. The computer scientist, who passed away in 2014 after suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease, is widely known for receiving the first-ever Bitcoin transaction. However, Casa cofounder Jameson Lopp recently presented compelling evidence showing that Finney was unlikely to be Satoshi.
