Is Peter Todd the real Satoshi Nakamoto?


As revealed by Politico, Peter Todd is currently 39 years old, therefore when Satoshi Nakamoto published the Bitcoin whitepaper on October 31, 2008, Todd was 23 years old.

Although this theoretically does not rule out that Todd at 23 years old could have designed a similar system, it turns out to be very difficult to believe. 

The Bitcoin protocol is not very complex from an IT perspective, but the economic-financial reasoning that Satoshi used to develop that whitepaper is decidedly more complex. It is very difficult to imagine that a person like Todd at 23 years old could have developed that reasoning.

Moreover, Todd graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto, therefore at the time it does not seem that he was close to the economic-financial environments. 

However, Todd himself in the past stated that he came into contact with the cypherpunk environment already at the age of 15, therefore in 2000. 

It should also be added that today Peter Todd explicitly denied being Satoshi Nakamoto.
