The biggest mystery in the crypto industry, the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of bitcoin (BTC), is the subject of several theories in the sector. This title is also claimed by several people, however, who have not been able to provide proof.
Ripple’s CTO, David Schwartz, is one of those who believes that bitcoin was created by many people, not just one as most people think. He has declared this day that he could be part of this group.
Capabilities that are nothing to envy to those of the inventors of bitcoin
In the past, several rumors had suggested that Satoshi Nakamoto would actually be David Schwartz, even if the latter did not hesitate to deny the information. This time, Ripple’s technical director has stepped forward to claim that he may be a member of Satoshi Nakamoto.
In fact, the interested party is one of those who think that a group of developers is hiding behind this pseudonym. Confident in his business know-how, he asserted that their skills are the same than those available to members of this group.
I could definitely be part of Satoshi. Almost everything Satoshi did is within my abilities. But, unfortunately, I didn’t find out about bitcoin until 2011.

David Schwartz layers Craig Wright
This statement from Ripple’s director is a response to tweet about Craig Wright, against whom he recently lost a defamation lawsuit. The latter, who claimed for several years to be the inventor of bitcoin, is especially called a liar by some members of the crypto industry.
There is nothing defamatory about saying Craig Wright is not Satoshi, just as there is nothing defamatory about saying I am not Satoshi. There is nothing inherently wrong with not being Satoshi. 1/4
