Jack Dorsey, an American entrepreneur and the founder of Twitter and Square, has once again been suggested as the anonymous creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. This speculation resurfaced after a post on social media by Seán Murray, the CEO and editor-in-chief of the financial news website deBanked. Murray claimed in a post on February 15th that a list of facts, numbers, and dates related to Bitcoin also links back to Dorsey. Despite this, some believe these pieces of evidence are not conclusive. Dorsey himself stated in an interview with Lex Fridman, a computer scientist and podcaster, in April 2020 that he is not Satoshi Nakamoto. However, Murray argues that Dorsey is likely Satoshi, pointing to his cypherpunk inclinations since 1996. He also mentioned that the first Bitcoin transaction on January 11th, the birthdate of Dorsey’s mother, and the last block mined by Satoshi on March 5, 2010, Dorsey’s father’s birthday. Murray also referred to Bitcoin addresses starting with ‘jD2m’ as a shorthand for Jack Dorsey 2 Mint, referencing Dorsey’s former residence at 2Mint Plaza in San Francisco. However, some X users doubt this theory, believing it is unlikely for Satoshi, the creator of censorship-resistant money, to censor information; just as Twitter, under Dorsey’s management, has done. Jameson Lopp, a prominent figure in the Bitcoin space, also criticized Murray for presenting claims without solid evidence. This theory emerges while other individuals like Hal Finney, Adam Back, and Nick Szabo have previously been speculated to be Satoshi Nakamoto. Dorsey has not responded to these claims so far.
