According to Cointelegraph, Adam Back, the co-founder and CEO of Blockstream, believes that the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the founder of Bitcoin, will always remain unknown. Back considers this anonymity beneficial for Bitcoin's future.

In an exclusive interview, Back noted that numerous attempts have been made to uncover Satoshi's identity by analyzing emails and forum posts spanning over 15 years, but these efforts have yielded no results. As an early Bitcoin developer who communicated with Satoshi, Back argues that Bitcoin's lack of a central figure, unlike Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin, enhances its status as a commodity. This characteristic differentiates Bitcoin from other cryptocurrencies, which are more comparable to securities.

Back elaborated that Bitcoin's decentralized nature makes it feel more like a discovery rather than a startup or invention. He also stressed the importance of viewing Bitcoin both as digital gold and as a form of money for its long-term success. According to Back, the fundamental value of Bitcoin lies in its ability to serve as a means of saving for future spending.
