Elon Musk's Bitcoin Theory: Is Nick Szabo Actually Satoshi Nakamoto?
Elon recently dropped a spicy take on the Bitcoin mystery during a podcast—he thinks Nick Szabo, not some unknown entity, is the real architect behind Satoshi Nakamoto.
Here’s the thing: Szabo did create BitGold back in 1998, a proto-Bitcoin project that solved some traditional finance pain points. Linguists even did a forensic analysis of the Bitcoin whitepaper and flagged Szabo based on writing patterns and LaTeX formatting similarities. The guy also wrote phrases that echo throughout the whitepaper itself.
But here’s where it gets messy: Szabo keeps denying it. In 2014, he straight-up said “I got doxed wrong as Satoshi, but I’m used to it.” Guy has a CS degree from University of Washington + law degree from George Washington University—pretty unusual combo, but not smoking gun.
Elon’s nuanced take? “I don’t know for sure who created Bitcoin, but Szabo seems most responsible for the ideas behind it.” Translation: Maybe not the founder, but definitely the godfather of the concept.
Why would Bitcoin’s creator go full ghost mode? Probably because true decentralization means no cult of personality. Vitalik literally tried stepping back from Ethereum for the same reason.
Szabo’s got 300k Twitter followers watching his every move. The mystery lives on.
