NBA legend Scottie Pippen claimed he met Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, in 1993 – before Bitcoin’s public introduction in 2008. This statement has left many in the cryptocurrency community puzzled, as it raises questions about its validity. Michael Saylor, a staunch advocate of Bitcoin, was present during the conversation and expressed discomfort with the situation.
Saylor believes that the interviewer posed an unfair question and that Bitcoin maximalists are very protective of Satoshi’s anonymity and legacy. For Bitcoin maximalists like Saylor, Satoshi’s identity is a sacred mystery that represents innovation, altruism, and the disruption of the traditional financial system.
Speculations about Satoshi’s identity are often viewed as distractions from the core mission of Bitcoin. By avoiding discussions that could trivialize Satoshi’s legacy, Bitcoin maximalists aim to protect the principles that make Bitcoin unique.
