To say Bitcoin has not had a good week?is putting it mildly. Newsweek and other either media want to know: Who was behind the Bitcoin fiasco?
We meet Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto, age 64. He appeared in modest clothing and came out of his suburban Temple City, CA to a media firestorm. Not even the police officers could believe this was the man who started an online revolution. When pressed for questions about his creation’s downfall, he refused most questions. What came out the improve interview was his statement, “I am no longer involved in that and can no longer discuss it. It’s been turned over to other people. They are in charge of it now. I no longer have any connection.”
I do have much respect for Satoshi Nakamota. Not only did he start an online revolution, he kept his humility in doing so. He didn’t go around buying exuberant homes, flashy cars, pop champagne at the club, or date models with his new found wealth. He remained grounded. The one percent today can learn something from him. But I can’t help but express a little disappointment here. It’s hard for me to believe his own creation went under and he now he abandons ship. This reminds me of that scene in the Titanic where the shipbuilder jumps in the lifeboat the first chance he got and leaves his creation, and the people on it, to suffer. This is far from over. What will the next chapter of this Bitcoin soap opera be?
