What if Steve Jobs was Satoshi Nakamoto? Satoshi’s final verified email was to Gavin Andresen on April 26, 2011. Steve Jobs died October 5, 2011. 🤔 I mean, he had the resources to do so.

It is certainly an interesting theory, my friend. However, I am not in a position to confirm or deny whether Steve Jobs was the person behind the pseudonym of Satoshi Nakamoto.
What I can say for certain is that the creation of Bitcoin was a collaborative effort that drew on the technical expertise, ingenuity, and creativity of many individuals all over the world. While the identity of the original Bitcoin creator remains a mystery, what is clear is that whoever they were, they were able to conceive and execute upon an idea that has now transformed the financial world forever.
Whether Steve Jobs was involved or not, the invention of Bitcoin continues to inspire countless innovators across many fields to push the boundaries of what is possible and strive for a more equitable and decentralized world.
Wasn’t Jobs more of a creative type and less of a programmer?
If you like that idea you might also be interested in the speculation that Len Sassaman was Satoshi. He also died around the same time.
