5 people who have claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto
Like we all know, the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto remains unknown and his Bitcoin holding remain untouched and un-accessed to, even though his Bitcoin holding of 1,125,150 tokens remain untouched and worth $56billion when the price of Bitcoin hit around $56,000 per token. As at the time it hit the price, Satoshi Nakamoto had become the 15th wealthiest person in the world, for now no information that Nakamoto has moved any of his Bitcoin holding.
since 2011 that Satoshi Nakamoto has bid the crypto space farewell and concentrated on other things, many people have claimed to be satoshi, but none of them has been able to prove that they hold the keys to Satoshi Nakamoto address or private keys to the wealth.
5 among the people who have claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto:
Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto: This is a 64 year old man, a model train enthusiast and experts, he lives in Los Angeles was claimed to be the Bitcoin creator, but after son many interviews, he later denied having anything to do with Bitcoin creation. after much investigation and research, they found out he shared the same name with Satoshi Nakamoto. since the interview he has become the face of Satoshi being asked to speak in conference, but in the real sense he is not the brain behind it.
Craig Wright: Who is Craig Wright? he is a 52 years old Australian Scientist and at the same time a Business man, Craig took the boldness and went publicly to claim being part of the team of developer that created Bitcoin, after so much research and interview, he was quoted wrong and all were claimed as false information. He really wants to be Satoshi, thats why he went straight t0 the public to claim being Satoshi, its just like everyone trying to be like the celebrities right from their bed, one minutes they are young and the other minutes they are super starts, well it happens.
Vili Lehdonvirta: He is a a professor of Economic Sociology and Digital Social Research, Vili is one of the people to be suggested as Satoshi in year 2011, even though he feels purer than the rest at that time, it still doesn't make him to have anything to do with Bitcoin Creator. When he was questioned at an interview, this 31 year old explained and claimed he had no cryptocurrency or cryptographic knowledge, infact his programming level was kind of poor
Nick Szabo: Nick which stands for Nicholas, is best known as a Computer Scientist, a legal scholar, and a Cryptographer best known for his research in Digital Contracts and Currency, he is also a jurist doctor and obtained his degree from George Washington University of Law. The truth is Nick Szabo has consistently denied being Satoshi Nakamoto overtime, saying in an interview that he is afraid people are getting it all wrong by doxing him as Nakamoto.
Gavin Andresen: A 56 years years old Gavin Andresen is software developer and he is best known for is crucial involvement in Bitcoin, his name is one of the most recognized name in the crypto world, as claimed that he was one of the developers that brought Bitcoin to life. it was claimed that he was the one Satoshi handed most things to after his departure, at 2010, he was given 5 Bitcoin to anyone that visited his site and completed human recognition captcha.
In conclusion, several people have also claimed to be the inventor of Bitcoin, but who is the real Satoshi, no one knows yet. Satoshi is known or not, to me he is man of our time, one of the greatest and visionary men we have, imagine what life would have be if we do not have Cryptocurrency, life in some part of the world would still be in shambles and Government of the day would still be taking advantage of us, Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Cryptocurrency at large is the future of finance and no one can stop it.

I tend to believe that Satoshi Nakamoto does not exist. In other words, it was never a man, but a consortium. I could well be wrong. But right now there is no proof otherwise, so I stand by that belief.
