The search for Satoshi reveals the importance of community in Bitcoin, according to Andragnes.
“We are all looking for who Satoshi Nakamoto is, although we don’t really need to,” said Rodolfo Andragnes, co-founder of the NGO Bitcoin Argentina and organizer of LaBitConf, this Friday in Buenos Aires, on the first day of the important Bitcoin (BTC) event.
Andragnes uttered those words in reaction to the wave of speculation unleashed in October about the true identity of the enigmatic creator of Bitcoin. This, after the television network HBO promised to remove Nakamoto from anonymity. Immediately many people asked Who would be identified in your announced documentary? where the majority response leaned towards the late cryptographer Len Sassaman.
In any case, to fulfill their promise to reveal Nakamoto’s identity, the documentary team HBO identified Peter Todda Bitcoin Core developer, as the possible creator. However, his claim was proven wrong, as Todd denied any ties to Nakamoto. This revelation deeply disappointed the community, which was hoping for a better reveal about the identity of the mystery Satoshi.
Memes and criticism spread on social networks to point out the lack of investigation by HBO. The same thing is happening now when a man appeared who He claims to be the real Satoshi. This is Stephen Mollah, who, along with his partner, Charles Anderson, invited Cryptocurrency users, industry experts and media to witness what they believe would be the biggest revelation in the industry around Bitcoin.
The press conference, called by Mollah and his partner, took place in London, last Thursday, October 31. Only a few people attended the event and, when the time came for the organizers to present the evidence to prove Nakamoto’s true identityexpressed technical problems.
Mollah showed a series of screenshots as proof and when asked if he could move bitcoins from the Genesis block, he responded: “I will do so in the coming months.”
In this way, Mollah was pointed out by several in the community as a new Faketoshi, the nickname with which many identify Craig Wrightan Australian computer scientist and businessman, who got into legal trouble after arguing that he was Satoshi the real Satoshi Nakamoto.
The anecdotal presentation of Mollah as the true Satoshi Nakamoto without presenting evidence, has unleashed laughter, the memes and even fury on the part of the community.

Mollah, about 58, also claimed to be the creator of Twitter’s bird logo, the Eurobond, as well as Bitcoin, the idea of which came to him about 20 years ago during a hike in the Himalayas. In short, there were so many inconsistencies in the words and actions of the self-proclaimed Satoshi that some journalists who attended the press conference they left before for this to culminate.

New Satoshi Nakamoto appear in Argentina
During the launch of this year’s LaBitConf, as noted at the beginning of this note, Rodolfo Andragnes explored the various theories about who Satoshi Nakamoto could be. He mentioned well-known names such as Hal Finney and Adam Back. And so, throughout the talk, emphasis was placed on the need to validate the claim of any person who claims to be Nakamoto, pointing out that reality lies in the ability to sign a message from the private key associated with one of the Bitcoin creator’s wallets.
“Bitcoin is not just software, it is a system that lives and survives thanks to each of you,” Andragnes assured the crowd, who joined in a collective reflection on the decentralized nature of the pioneer of digital currencies.

In conclusion, at the beginning of one of the most important bitcoiner events in Latin America, broke with the idea that Satoshi Nakamoto is a single personbut rather promoted the vision that everyone who participates in the Bitcoin ecosystem is, in some way, part of its legacy.
In that sense, the community was encouraged to continue researching and supporting the development of the decentralized network, the adoption of bitcoin, as well as a path towards a more inclusive and decentralized future.
