There is still very little information about the creator of the first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin. Although Satoshi Nakamoto agrees with the founder, many people have different theories.
Some people think of them as an individual, while others think of them as a group. However, the crypto community now identifies Satoshi Nakamoto’s birthday as April 5th.
This date comes from Satoshi Nakamoto Profile page About the P2P Foundation. According to the introduction, the pseudonymous author is a Japanese male born on April 5, 1975.
It is worth noting that users of the P2P Foundation Forum (Peer-to-Peer Alternatives Foundation) are required to include their date of birth in their profiles. However, it is not certain whether April 5 is Satoshi Nakamoto’s actual birth date.
Despite the mixed reactions and skepticism surrounding Satoshi Nakamoto’s birthday, the impact of his innovations has been huge. Some believe it is time to reflect on his contribution to sustainable financial stability.
CryptoSignal states:
“It’s interesting to think about the impact one person has on our world. As we celebrate Natamoto’s contributions, let’s also reflect on the balance between technological innovation and the sustainability of the financial system. Happy 49th birthday!“
The significance of April 5th is by no means insignificant
Although Satoshi Nakamoto’s choice of April 5 as his birthday may seem trivial, its significance may be much more profound.
Recall that on April 5, 1933, the US government initiated the process of restoring the country’s gold standard.
Under an executive order from President Franklin Roosevelt, all Americans are required to return gold coins and certificates worth more than $100 to the Federal Reserve. The order stated that the process ended on or before May 1, 1933.
Therefore, April 5 may mark a historic shift from traditional payment systems to modern decentralized models such as Bitcoin.
Satoshi Nakamoto publishes Bitcoin white paper October 31, 2008. He introduced Bitcoin as a means to correct the global financial monopoly system and introduce a decentralized financial alternative that eliminates the influence of third parties such as governments.
