Could Len Sassaman Be Satoshi Nakamoto, the Creator of Bitcoin?
After nearly 10 hours of in-depth research, I uncovered some surprising details. Here’s the story of who could potentially be the biggest crypto billionaire ever. 🧵👇
1/ Who is Len Sassaman?
Len Sassaman was a renowned cryptographer and passionate privacy advocate.
He played a key role in the cypherpunk movement in San Francisco.
He contributed to projects like Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) and GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) and co-founded a SaaS startup.
2/ Len Sassaman's Tragic Death in 2011
Sassaman passed away at 31 by suicide while pursuing a PhD in electrical engineering at KU Leuven in Belgium.
A tribute to him was encoded into the Bitcoin blockchain, describing him as "a friend, a kind soul, and a devious schemer."
3/ HBO's New Documentary
HBO recently released a documentary titled MoneyElectric: The Bitcoin Mystery that suggests Sassaman could have been Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin.
4/ Evidence That Sassaman Could Be Satoshi
Sassaman had an exceptional academic background and expertise in cryptography.
Linguistic analysis shows similarities between his writing style and that of Satoshi Nakamoto.
He was also deeply embedded in the cypherpunk community, which was closely tied to Bitcoin's early development.
The timing of Sassaman’s death in 2011 coincides with Satoshi's disappearance from public life.
5/ Suspicious Timing of Satoshi's Silence
Satoshi Nakamoto went silent just two months before Sassaman’s death.
Some believe this indicates Sassaman was Nakamoto, though others disagree. Sassaman's wife strongly denies the theory, stating, "Len was many things, but he was not Satoshi. He would never have kept something like that from me."
6/ The 24-Word Seed Phrase
Sassaman's suicide note contained 24 random words, reminiscent of the 24-word seed phrases used in cryptocurrency wallets.
Meanwhile, the $64 billion worth of Bitcoin linked to Satoshi remains untouched.
7/ The HBO Documentary May Reveal More
We'll likely need to wait for the HBO documentary to draw any final conclusions.
Whether or not Sassaman was Satoshi Nakamoto, his contributions to cryptography and privacy are undeniable.
8/ Additional Thoughts
Len Sassaman is currently leading the polls on Polymarket as the top candidate to be Satoshi Nakamoto.
