During Lex Friedman’s podcast, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that mathematician Nick Sabo could be hiding behind the pseudonym of Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto.
According to the billionaire, in 1998, the scientist created an algorithm for a decentralized digital currency called “bit gold”, which is considered the predecessor of bitcoin. However, Szabo himself denies his involvement in the development of the cryptocurrency.
A few days before the release of the podcast, information appeared on the network that the creator of bitcoin was Elon Musk. This was stated by his former employee Sahil Gupta.
During a conversation with the billionaire’s assistant, he asked if Musk Nakamoto was, to which he received the answer “Well, what can I say” and regarded it as confirmation of his guesses.
