Satoshi Nakamoto published a White Paper on the cryptography mailing list
http://metzdowd.com.
- On October 31, 2008, In his nine-page document proposed “a new electronic cash system that’s fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party”.
He then created the bitcointalk forum and posted the first message under the pseudonym satoshi. He also made a website with a domain name bitcoin.org and continued to work on a bitcoin software.
- On 3 January 2009, Satoshi mined the first bitcoin block called the “genesis block”.
- Throughout 2010, Satoshi collaborated with other developers to modify the bitcoin protocol, and was involved in the bitcoin community and corresponded with them frequently. Then all of a sudden he gave keys and codes to
Gavin Andersen and transferred domains to members of the community. By the end of 2010, he stopped working on the project.
Then,
- On Saturday, 23 April 2011, Nakamoto emerged once again only to post his last message. When developer Mike Hearn asked him if he is planning to rejoin the community, Satoshi replied:
“I’ve moved on to other things. It’s in good hands with Gavin and everyone.”Furthermore, Satoshi’s bitcoin address contains about 1,000,000 bitcoins. In December 2017, when the price peaked, he had more than 19 billion dollars. For that short moment, Nakamoto was 44th richest person in the world! And to this day he hasn’t cashed a single bitcoin.
The man who disrupted the financial system for good, simply disappeared.
