Is Jack Dorsey the Mysterious Satoshi? The Internet Can’t Handle This Drama! 😱

So, here we go again! American entrepreneur Jack Dorsey is back in the hot seat, with some wild theories suggesting he might just be Bitcoin’s elusive creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. A recent post on X (formerly known as Twitter, because who doesn’t love a rebrand?) has ignited yet another round of speculation over one of crypto’s biggest whodunits. 🔍

In a post that could only be described as a conspiracy theorist’s dream, Seán Murray, the president and chief editor of deBanked, has compiled a list of facts, numbers, and dates that he claims link Dorsey to Bitcoin. Because, you know, who doesn’t love a good rabbit hole? 🐇

But hold your horses! Not everyone is buying into this theory. Some skeptics are waving their red flags, insisting that the evidence is about as solid as a house of cards. 🏰

Jack Dorsey, Satoshi Nakamoto: The Plot Thickens

Let’s rewind to April 2020, when Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter and digital payments darling Square, flat-out denied being Satoshi in an interview with Lex Fridman. He said, “No, and if I were, would I tell you?” Classic deflection, right? 🙄

But Murray is convinced that Dorsey is “probably” Satoshi, citing Dorsey’s cypherpunk tendencies dating back to 1996. Apparently, wearing a Hashcash inventor’s shirt and writing a manifesto about leaving no trace is enough to raise eyebrows. Who knew fashion choices could be so revealing? 👕

Birthdays, timestamps, and a sprinkle of coincidence

One of Murray’s most eyebrow-raising claims? The first Bitcoin transaction happened on Dorsey’s mother’s birthday, Jan. 11. And the last block mined by Satoshi? Yep, you guessed it—on his father’s birthday, March 5, 2010. Coincidence? Or just a really weird family reunion? 🎉

But wait, there’s more! Murray also claims Satoshi signed up for the Bitcoin forum on Dorsey’s birthday, Nov. 19. Talk about a birthday surprise! 🎂

And let’s not forget the original Bitcoin source code documents, all timestamped at 4 am. Which timezone? Who knows! But Dorsey once had that time in his Twitter profile, so it must mean something, right? ⏰

Then there’s the “brute force” theory, where Satoshi supposedly created Bitcoin addresses, including one that starts with “jD2m.” Murray claims this stands for “Jack Dorsey 2 Mint.” Because nothing says “I’m a secret crypto genius” like a cheeky address! 💰

But Dorsey hasn’t confirmed any of this. Surprise, surprise! 🙃

Email hacked, and Satoshi’s location revealed?

In a plot twist worthy of a soap opera, Satoshi’s “GMX” email was hacked in 2014, and the hacker tried to extort him by revealing a connection to St. Louis, Missouri. Dorsey’s hometown! Dun dun dun! 🎭

Murray claims Satoshi “accidentally” logged into Internet Relay Chat, revealing an IP address in California—where Twitter is based. Coincidence? Or just a really bad VPN? 🤔

WikiLeaks drama: A twist in the tale

In a shocking turn of events, Satoshi warned against donating Bitcoin to WikiLeaks in 2010, just as Twitter was hit with a secret court order to hand over information about WikiLeaks. Dorsey wasn’t CEO then, but he was still on the board. Talk about a tangled web! 🕸️

Murray claims Satoshi last logged into the Bitcoin forum the day before the WikiLeaks drama unfolded. Coincidence? Or just a really bad timing? ⏳
