⚡️👤 A new theory claims that Jack Dorsey (@jack) is Satoshi Nakamoto.
This theory highlights his background in cryptography, his timestamp habits, and the surprising connections between the launch date of BTC and his personal life.
Here are some troubling arguments presented:
🔹 Jack Dorsey was one of ~1,300 confirmed cypherpunks in 1996 (his UMR email).
🔹 He wore an Adam Back t-shirt in the UMR directory.
🔹 UMR students were called "Miners."
🔹 He graduated in computer science and mathematics and had an interest in cryptography.
🔹 He was already on the cypherpunk mailing list in 2000 under his dnet.com email.
🔹 He wrote a manifesto about leaving a mark without leaving a trace in 2001.
🔹 He subscribed to cryptome.org in 2001.
🔹 He wrote a blog post joking that he was working on a network for drug traffickers.
🔹 He published a biography in 2003 stating his interest in cryptocurrencies, pseudonyms, and hacking at 4 AM, among other things.
🔹 In 2003, he announced he was ending his dependence on the US dollar and creating a barter network.
🔹 The documents of the original Bitcoin source code are all timestamped as having been created exactly at 4 AM, just like Jack’s bio.
🔹 The first Bitcoin transaction occurred on Jack's mother's birthday (1/11/09).
🔹 Satoshi joined the Bitcoin forum on Jack's birthday (11/19).
🔹 The last block mined by Satoshi occurred on Jack's father's birthday (5/3/10).
🔹 Jack's best friend, Alyssa Milano, wrote a novel (Hacktivist) in the summer of 2013 about Jack, portraying him living a double life behind a famous pseudonym.
🔹 Satoshi's gmx email was hacked on 08/09/14, and the hacker attempted to extort Satoshi by claiming he knew his connection to St. Louis, Missouri. Jack is from St. Louis.
🔹 Square published a children's book in January 2018 explaining the 'Legend of Satoshi Nakamoto,' where the character Satoshi resembles Jack.
🔹 On 04/20/20, Lex Fridman asked Jack if he was Satoshi, to which Jack replied that he wouldn’t confess even if he were. This contrasts with Nick Szabo, Adam Back, and Hal Finney, who all explicitly state they are not Satoshi.
🔹 On 10/27/23, Jack stated at a conference that 'Bitcoin and Satoshi in 2009 were a combination of my childhood, curiosity, and everything I aspired to and loved.'
🔹 On 07/21/24, Jack wrote on Nostr: 'I often imagine Satoshi sitting somewhere laughing at all of this.'
🔹 On 08/28/24, Jack went on Nostr and thanked Hal Finney (now deceased) for his help."
