Thank you very much, for joining me again today on the challenge.
For the love of Bitcoin, today I’m going to be looking at the history of this amazing asset, as it relates to john Nash, who is thought to be the founder of bitcoin.
His tory has shown that the real founder of bitcoin is unknown, but over the decade, there have been pointing of fingers to individuals suspected to be the founders.
John Nash Jr. comes very close to being the founder, based on research.
John Nash Jr. (June 13,1928-May 23, 2015) was an American Mathematician, who had made tremendous contributions to game theory, partial differential equations and differential geometry.
The facts pointing him as Satoshi Nakamoto are:
His Mathematical and Economic Exploits Found In Game Theory
In 2014 and 2015, a number of publishers did a publication that claimed John Nash is the brain behind blockchain technology.
This was not unconnected with his numerous contributions in economics, mathematics and complex systems.
He was a Nobel price winner in economic sciences and earned a doctorate degree for his 28 pages dissertation in non-cooperative games.
His Assumption That Bitcoin is A Product of A Group of Geniuses.
Back in June 2015, an editorial pointed at Nash with the question:
Did Mathematician John Nash Help Invent Bitcoin?
This question is still begging for answers as people keep visiting his work with amazement on how he handled complex systems.
His Publications
Another factor and in fact the most glaring one is his publication: Ideal Money, published several times between 1994 and 2008.
According to Patron;
** Nash described this ideal of money as something which could provide a global savings outlet for people who would otherwise be subject to ‘bad money’, or money expected to lose value over time under conditions of inflation among other things.**
Nash saw the then fiat money as limited and unreliable in terms of making global impact.
His Ideal Money concept made a lot of headlines in 1994, as every news outlets wrote about how the Nobel Economist says more stable money is need.
It is on record that the editorial Nobel Economist says more stable money is need was published on Fordham University’s website just six weeks before Satoshi published the the Bitcoin whitepaper on 2008 Halloween.
Six Years Old Reddit Post
This is not the only time or document that suggests Nash was involved in bitcoin creation, as a Reddit post six years ago pointed Nash as bitcoin creator as follows:
** John is an award-winning cryptographer, mathematician, and a Nobel prize-winning economist**
These factors, among others, serves as proof that John Nash Jr. created the world’s most sought-after cryptocurrency: Bitcoin.
As we celebrate Bitcoin on her birthday come 31st October, let us celebrate the work of John Nash Jr.
