The secret is still intact. And, they say, it goes for long. And is that even today, almost ten years after its creation, it is unknown who is the father or mother, or even parents or mothers of the bitcoin, a currency that has its origin in 2009. Its peculiarity? That only serves to perform operations within the network of networks. However, the increase in value of this bet since its launch has managed to "filter" its ideologist (or, ideologues) among the 50 richest people on the planet, according to the latest update of the Forbes list of millionaires. Thus, Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonym granted to that person or people who created the bitcoin, was placed yesterday in the 44th position of citizens with the greatest fortunes in the world, just below other personalities assigned to the list, such as Stefan Persson, son of creator of H & M, the widow of Steve Jobs, Laurene Powell Jobs, and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. Meanwhile, with less wealth than Nakamoto, right next, is the multimillionaire prince Alwaleed bin Talal, investor of the Saudi royal family, and Theo Albrecht Jr., heir of the supermarket chain of German origin Aldi. According to the calculations of the prestigious magazine, Nakamoto owned about 980,000 bitcoins to his credit, so that she / he would have a personal fortune of around 19,400 million dollars. However, its wealth varies according to the value of the virtual currency between supply and demand in the currency markets -where the bitcoin is classified as the most unstable currency-. Right after reaching $ 20,000 in value, the bitcoin dropped to almost $ 18,000, then returned again to approach the 19,000. Despite these changes, your quote will still place Nakamoto among the 50 richest people on the planet. Not bad for the owner of a cryptocurrency whose value, at the beginning of 2017, was only $ 1,000. However, it seems incredible that even today the identity of the creator or creator of the most revolutionary technologies of recent decades is still an unknown. But it is like this. In recent years, many have speculated that they thought they knew several people who said or said they could be the parents of the cryptocurrency, but no absolute certainty has been achieved. A couple of years ago, and after several alleged Nakamotos, the publications "Wired" and "Gizmodo" published, jointly, that had signs that Satoshi Nakamoto was really an Australian scholar named Craig Steven Wright. The investigations of both media began when a researcher named Gwern Branwen published several studies related to cryptocurrencies. Among the documentation that this exposed in public several emails are included in which, trying to face any problem, pointed out that Wright had a whole fortune beloved in bitcoin. Shortly after leaving this information, Wright himself went to the media who claimed that Satoshi Nakamoto, although the evidence they presented were clearly insufficient and were unsuccessful in the skepticism of the community of monetary cryptology there. Precisely then, which can not be demonstrated, has become a threat to security, although since then Wrigh has taken advantage of this uncertainty to publicize some of the initiatives based on the "blockchain" (which is the powerful technology that gives life at bitcoin). Now, the question is not so much -or only- if one day will be revealed the best kept secret of recent times and we will know who Satoshi Nakamoto really is or if before achieving it in "creation" he will die ...but of success.
