10 years ago today, Bitcoin’s anonymous creator was active for the last time on a Bitcoin forum. No one’s heard from him since.
Satoshi Nakamoto (who could be a man, woman or group of people—no one really knows) made their final post on December 12, 2010, before logging off the next day to never return to the online world.

Pete Rizzo, the editor of cryptocurrency exchange Kraken’s website, made the observation on Twitter Saturday. “10 years ago today, Satoshi made his final post to the BitcoinTalk forum,” he wrote.
In its decade-plus lifespan, Bitcoin has gone from being the niche obsession of a group of cypherpunks on message boards, to one of the world’s largest currencies. Yet the identity of its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, remains unknown. Over the years, Satoshi’s true identity has been the subject of feverish speculation, with many names having been put forward. That’s hardly surprising; people love a mystery, for one thing. For another, the gigantic stash of Bitcoin that Satoshi mined in the cryptoc...
Nakamoto’s final post on December 12 was about preventing Denial-of-Server (DoS) attacks to the Bitcoin network.
10 years later and Bitcoin’s price has touched new highs—thanks in part to investment from institutional investors and endorsement from high-profile companies. But the guy behind the technology is nowhere to be found.
The creator of the world’s biggest cryptocurrency has always been anonymous, and though there have been many theories over the years about who he could be, his identity and whereabouts are still unknown.
One thing is certain, though, he’s done a very good job at keeping his identity a complete mystery.
The UK’s Economic Secretary for the Treasury has poured cold water on the idea of the country launching a national crypto reserve. Speaking at the Financial Times Digital Asset Summit in London, Emma Reynolds MP said that following the U.S. government's lead in stockpiling Bitcoin is “not the plan for us.” “We don't think that's appropriate for our market," Reynolds said. “We understand that’s what the U.S. is going for, but that’s not the plan for us," she added. In other areas, the UK is look...
OpenAI is removing limits on how much money investors can make while keeping its nonprofit in charge, converting its current business arm into a "public benefit company," a type of for-profit business that needs to consider both making money and serving the public good. "We want to be able to operate and get resources in such a way that we can make our services broadly available to all of humanity," CEO Sam Altman stated in a letter published Monday. The move places it at temporary odds with maj...
Riot Platforms sold $38.8 million worth of Bitcoin in April, as the second-largest publicly traded Bitcoin miner by market capitalization moves to shore up liquidity amid tightening margins across the mining sector. The Castle Rock, Colo.–based firm offloaded 475 BTC last month at an average price of $81,731 per coin, according to its operations update on Monday. Riot mined 463 of those tokens in April, with the remaining 12 drawn from reserves. The company retained 19,211 BTC on its balance sh...
