Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Shocking news comes from the crypto industry, where the anonymous name of the creator of crypto assets (the world’s first aka bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, became the focus of a dispute in a court case in Florida, United States (US) recently.
Launch The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the case relates to a lawsuit filed by the family of a deceased man against his former business partners regarding their business assets.
The asset in question is a cache or set of assets worth 1 million bitcoins or the equivalent of US$ 64 billion today belonging to the pseudonym (pseudonym) Satoshi Nakamoto. If converted into rupiah, this value is equivalent to Rp. 908.80 trillion (assuming an exchange rate of Rp. 14,200/US$).
The family of the deceased man admitted that he and his business partner were Nakamoto, the anonymous creator of the first crypto coin.
Thus the family is entitled to half of the total 1 million bitcoins in question.
Until now, the figure of Satoshi Nakamoto is still one of the unsolved mysteries in the financial world.
It is not known for certain whether he–whether a man or a woman–referring to one person or several people. In addition, another question is why did he not touch a penny of the value of his bitcoin asset wealth?
Ten years ago, namely on January 3, 2009, the Bitcoin (BTC) network was born and created when Satoshi Nakamoto mined the genesis block or also known as the zero number block.
Various investigations by journalism have attempted to uncover the person or group of individuals responsible for creating the digital currency which now has a market capitalization of over US$1 trillion.
On a P2P Foundation profile that was inactive in late 2010, Nakamoto identified as a 43-year-old man living in Japan, but he hardly ever posts on Bitcoin forums.
So far, the media and the community have provided a lot of results about who the real Satoshi was. But in fact, nothing can be confirmed.
On June 14, 2018, the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) said it “could neither confirm nor deny the existence” of Nakamoto after a Motherboard journalist requested information about his identity through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
