On May 2, 2016 (March 26, 2016 in the lunar calendar), the identity of "Satoshi Nakamoto", the father of Bitcoin, was finally revealed that he was an Australia entrepreneur. Clegg Wright, the father of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto May 2, 2016, who was the creator of the controversial virtual currency Bitcoin? This mystery finally has an answer today. Australia technology entrepreneur Craig Wright told the BBC that he was the creator of Bitcoin. The announcement also ended years of speculation about the true identity of Bitcoin's father, Satoshi Nakamoto. The BBC said Wright confirmed his identity as the creator from a technical perspective by using Bitcoin owned by the founder of Bitcoin. The report also said that important members of the Bitcoin community have also confirmed Wright's identity. The report also stated that in addition to the BBC, Wright also sent the same statement to the British "Economist" and "GQ" magazine. "I am the main creator of Bitcoin, but I have also received help from others," Wright was quoted as saying. However, the Economist is not fully convinced by this statement. The magazine said: "Our conclusion is that Mr. Wright may be Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto, but there are still some important issues that are not settled. In fact, there may always be doubts about who the creator of Bitcoin was." Australia's Tax Office (ATO) and police have not commented on the report. Earlier last year, Wired magazine reported that Wright may have been the founder of Bitcoin and accumulated hundreds of millions of dollars in assets. Police then raided Wright's Sydney home and office in December last year. At the time, police said all inquiries about the raid were forwarded to the ATO, which said it was not yet able to comment on "any or entity tax issue" due to legal confidentiality. There has been considerable controversy in Australia over whether Bitcoin should be taxed. The ATO ruled in December 2014 that virtual currency should also be considered an asset, not a currency, from a capital gains tax perspective. Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin is not issued by a central bank or guaranteed by physical assets such as gold. Instead, it is "mined" by users using computers using increasingly complex algorithms. Bitcoin experts said that the announcement of the identity of "Satoshi Nakamoto" is of great significance to the development of the Bitcoin industry. Not only does the proven creator of Bitcoin have an influence on the formulation of future Bitcoin agreements, but having a sufficient number of bitcoins may also affect the price of the virtual currency. Sergio, a person specializing in Bitcoin, Sergio DemianLerner, chief executive of Bitcoin, said that as an early miner of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto owns about 1 million bitcoins, worth more than US$400 million at current exchange rates.
