I honestly still think that he was Satoshi Nakamoto. One of the weirdest "coincidences" that we could find is that one of his neighbors have Nakamoto last name, and another one down the road at a shop has Satoshi first name. This is documented fact, and he has been so much help for bitcoin world, maybe he thought "if I am quite often active in it, and chat with "satoshi" then people would assume that I am not" and thats why he was so open in the public, acting as if he wasn't satoshi himself. Whatever was the situation, he was quite amazing.I myself also think that Hal is the person closest to Satoshi, and is the person with the highest probability of being Satoshi, even though we have a lot of evidence to the contrary and Hal has also denied this possibility. At the same time, it would be better for BTC if Satoshi no longer existed, meaning that BTC is not under the strong control of any individual.
The memory of Hal Finney will remain associated with Satoshi and Bitcoin forever. The history of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies cannot be mentioned without mentioning Hal Finney and his enormous contribution to their development, recognition and acceptance around the world.Alas, we will never know the truth, everything on the internet is just speculation by the authors of the articles and nothing more. No one claims anything in particular. There are plenty of articles about the real Satoshi - but where's the guarantee that it's him? That's right, there's no guarantee. It's a secret that no one will ever know.
It is known to everyone that the first Bitcoin sending transaction in history took place in 2009. When Satoshi Nakamoto’s sent 10BTC to Hal Finney’s. This was the first cryptocurrency transaction.
This was the true beginning of the launch of Bitcoin and Satoshi’s dream of a peer-to-peer currency, which might not have seen the light of day had it not been for Hal Finney’s enthusiasm, adoption of the idea, and his great contributions later.
I myself also think that Hal is the person closest to Satoshi, and is the person with the highest probability of being Satoshi, even though we have a lot of evidence to the contrary and Hal has also denied this possibility.

I admire Satoshi's talent, but I also cherish Hal's contributions to BTC. Hal dedicated the precious last years of his life to the development of BTC, and Hal's important contributions will always be a part of the Bitcoin protocol. Hal will always be remembered in the BTC and crypto community!
