The founder of Pitcairn Petcavain reveals his personality for the first time

Australian entrepreneur Craig Stephan Wright has officially announced that he himself is Satoshi Nakamoto, the nickname of the founder of Bitcoin, about five months after reports that he was the mysterious founder of the digital currency.

Wright, 45, identified by Wired magazine and Gizmodo as the founder of the Pitcull in December, acknowledged in a publication on his personal blog on Monday and provided technical evidence to prove his claim .

The former academic in computer science also provided evidence to the BBC, including the use of cryptographic keys associated with the same patchwork blocks Nakamoto sent to another developer, Hal Finney, in the first currency deal in 2009.

John Matonis, one of the founding directors of the Bitcoin Foundation, said he had "had the opportunity to review the relevant data on three different lines: encryption, social and artistic." "I firmly believe that Craig Wright meets all three categories."

Wright was until recently the director of more than a dozen companies, some of whom are interested in the encrypted digital currency, and in one week in July 2015 stripped himself of 12 of them.

Wired and Gizmodo published a report last December that says Wright is the founder of Pitcullin, based on texts, e-mails and leaked financial records. Wright declined to comment on the matter at the time.

On the same day the reports were published, Australian police raided Wright's home and office, with police denying that the motive for the raid was Wright's role in creating the $ 449 coin.

Wright said on Monday he had revealed his role in establishing the digital currency because he "cares about his work with great enthusiasm, and also to dispel any myths and negative concerns about Pitcuin." "I can not allow the misinformation that has spread to affect the future of the Bitquin and the mass chains."

Coded currencies, which are the dominant version of it, allow consumers to conduct electronic transactions without the need for financial banks or intermediaries, outside central banks.
