LOS ANGELES _ Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto denied Thursday that he is the creator of bitcoin.
Newsweek published a 4,500-word cover story claiming Nakamoto is the person who wrote the computer code underpinnings of bitcoin, but in an exclusive two-hour interview with The Associated Press, Nakamoto denied he had anything to do with the digital currency.
Nakamoto, 64, said he had never heard of bitcoin until his son told him he had been contacted by a Newsweek reporter three weeks ago. He acknowledged that many of the details in Newsweek's report are correct, including that he once worked for a defense contractor, and that his given name at birth was Satoshi. But he strongly disputed the magazine's assertion that he is "the face behind bitcoin."
"I got nothing to do with it," he said, repeatedly.
Newsweek stands by its story, which kicked off the relaunch of its print edition after 15 months and reorganization under new ownership.
Since bitcoin's birth in 2009, the currency's creator has remained a mystery. The person - or people - behind the digital currency's inception have been known only as "Satoshi Nakamoto," which many observers believed to be a pseudonym.
Bitcoin has become increasingly popular among tech enthusiasts, libertarians and risk-seeking investors because it allows people to make one-to-one transactions, buy goods and services and exchange money across borders without involving banks, credit card issuers or other third parties. Criminals like bitcoin for the same reasons.
For various technical reasons, it's hard to know just how many people worldwide own bitcoins, but the currency attracted outsize media attention and the fascination of millions as an increasing number of large retailers such as Overstock.com began to accept it.
Speculative investors have jumped into the bitcoin fray, too, sending the currency's value fluctuating wildly in recent months. In December, the value of a single bitcoin hit an all-time high of $1,200. It was around $665 on Thursday, according to the website bitcoincharts.com.
After Newsweek posted the story on its website early Thursday, Nakamoto said his home was bombarded by phone calls. By mid-morning, a dozen reporters were waiting outside the modest two-story home on the residential street in Temple City, California, where he lives. He emerged shortly after noon saying he wanted to speak with one reporter only and asked for a "free lunch."
During a car ride and then later over sushi lunch at the AP bureau in downtown Los Angeles, Nakamoto spoke at length about his life, career and family, addressing many of the assertions in Newsweek's piece.
He also said a key portion of the piece - where he is quoted telling the reporter on his doorstep before two police officers, "I am no longer involved in that and I cannot discuss it" - was misunderstood.
Nakamoto said he is a native of Beppu, Japan who came to the U.S. when he was 10. He speaks both English and Japanese, but his English isn't flawless. Asked if he said the quote, Nakamoto responded, "no."
"I'm saying I'm no longer in engineering. That's it," he said of the exchange. "And even if I was, when we get hired, you have to sign this document, contract saying you will not reveal anything we divulge during and after employment. So that's what I implied."
"It sounded like I was involved before with bitcoin and looked like I'm not involved now. That's not what I meant. I want to clarify that," he said.
"Peer-to-peer can be anything," he said. "That's just a matter of address. What the hell? It doesn't make sense to me."

He takes his glasses off to see better. It's definitely him LOL
😂😂😂😂😂
Haha
🤣🤣
IS PROBLEM IS TO SEE ON DISTANCE
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that or knows something
he is Nakamoto! I can see it in his eyes. He is trying to hide it. If you look closely you can see the bitcoin symbol in his eyes.
Lol. This is not cartoon where dollar sign shows up in eyes.
Not him, his brother is
😂😂
His hiding his shiny red eyes and aura
🤣
I’d love to listen to him talk all day. He’s full of wisdom.
Absolutely.
This guys personality is exactly what i expected Satoshis to be even if he’s not
Yeah
He fits the category and behavior of the real Satoshi
This guy invented bitcoin for sure.
Peter Bowditch 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He just so happened to live right down the street from hal finney who was the first person to ever receive a bitcoin from Satoshi. Theres a 90% chance this is him.
@@GuyFromTheSouth Does Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto have cryptography background? Hal Finney himself seems to be the actual Nakamoto given his extensive bg on cryptography.
@@NoobieToob Dorian background from wiki. Trained as a physicist at Cal Poly University in Pomona, Nakamoto worked as a systems engineer on classified defense projects and computer engineer for technology and financial information services companies. he also allegedly a libertarian according to his daughter.
and his close proximity with hal finney makes it a perfect cover, make it like accident.
@@GuyFromTheSouth 99.99999999%
So he lives in the time zone that the btc creator was active online, his name was Satoshi at birth, his last name is nakamoto, he's an engineer, and lived a mile from Hal Finney. This dude knows something for sure, or the creator knew he could use his friend as a fall guy without ever telling him about the project.
Right.
That doesn't make sense. If that's the case this guy would have came out and told everyone that his friend used his name to hide his own identity? Why would he remain quiet after being used as a scapegoat?
I agree.
His age doesn't match up
Exactly. He must know something. He very well could be telling the truth about being contractually obligated to secrecy.
“He said I’m not, but even if I was” lol he trolling lol

@@Rolando_Cueva Lol..Lol..Lol
Same thing I said .. he also said he was involved in bitcoin but isn’t anymore 🤣
lololololololololololololololol
Only the real Satoshi Nakamoto would deny he is the Satoshi Nakamoto
Basically you are right... Everybody else who was involved in Bitcoin said he is the one. or "I Know this is the real Satoshi" but this guy said. "I’m not, but even if I was" op troller. It might be him or someone he knew/knows...
@@jonkadler8333 he is Satoshi man
"It ain't me"

I think he ate about 5 plates of sushi. I have no doubts he is Sushi Hondamoto
LOL 😂😂😂😂😂😂
UNDERRATED COMMENT !!!!
Look at craig and look at this man,This man is so humble even if he is not creator
He ist the creator man
when he says "oh jeez no i'm not that brilliant" with a cheeky laugh .. that definitely implies he knows how brilliant he is.
I wish he was the creator. He appears very humble. It seems to me that the only fame Satoshi Nakamoto would want is a free sushi meal :P
I can tell you this, he is the inventor, he can not say he is the inventor because it was a government black project.
but if it is government project why was it released under his own name?
@@RevanSK its not a government project. It's his intelligence telling him that with the current financial exchange. The poor will remain poor and the rich will be richer. He done a good job. Crypto is the future. It is better than cash exchanges. And also he must not tell the world he is the creator because he would get killed. Bitcoin is currently the most expensive non-exist item in the world.
He is the creator man
its him no doubt LOL
i don't care what anyone says, he 100% is Satoshi. He just doesn't want publicity and wants to live a normal life. If he admitted he actually was Satoshi, he'd be getting interviewed all the time being asked about the price, be at risk of being robbed, and might even be sued for some dumb reasons. The point of Bitcoin is to be 100% decentralized and put the users in charge. I respect it though, he's very humble.
he stopped communicating the 13nd Dec 2010 after an article linking Bitcoin to Wikileaks. If he was talking publicly the US gov would make his life horrible, the CIA would find someone to blame him for rappe, and the IRS would go after him for any reason... they probably would kill him if he was talking too much. He probably got a warning to shut up. The gov don't want him to be a leader of opinion and trigger a bank run an US dollar collapse. Check what he said in his last post at Bitcointalk... "It would have been nice to get this attention in any other context. WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet's nest, and the swarm is headed towards us."
@@MetaIsland That sounds crazy but believable at the same time.
If he really is Satoshi Nakamoto(The Name written in the Bitcoin White Paper) why would he write Satoshi Nakamoto in the Bitcoin White Paper and then Deny it?
Why not use a Pseudonym that is not exactly his real name?
If he really does not want to be known he could use a Pseudonym that is not his name
@@christopherdoctolero8419 He probably didn't expect his invention to reach a global scale and become a ONE TRILLION dollar market cap. Imagine the responsibility of that. Satoshi probably doesn't like attention in the first place, and most likely regrets using his real name, but I guess we will never know.
@@DisarMn I mean he’s very smart. And this project took time. He wouldn’t do all of that without believing the world would need it.
The world dont realise it but this man gave power back to the people. Watch !!!!!!
Too bad all the institutions own 90% of the BTC
@@airhab exacly haha, he invented something new. But institutions and rich people Will still have controll
Look how poor he's dressed, the way he looks.. Only rich people look like they dont give a 'F' about their style, so this must be the real Nakamoto
3:18 I like how the camera zoomed in on the sushi 🤣
it is a sign
That shrimp looks good! 8-)
The cam zoomed in to find if there was the bitcoin sign on the dish !
He doesn't want to reveal himself for him and his kids' safety. Respect
Occams razor. Satoshi Nakamoto is Satoshi Nakamoto. He looks like the rare type of man who could have 1 million Bitcoin and not do anything with them. He clearly doesn't want the attention.
Thank you Master Satoshi~ for showing us the way. So humble to blend into the background. I respect you to the highest degree.
I love that guy
Same
Dorian is most likely the creator of btc. I can understand why he wouldn't want to be identified, but I'm pretty sure he didn't realize the growth that would come from btc in the beginning.
the only way BTC can do what it does is for the founder to disappear.
Satoshi Nakamoto 2011: “I've moved on to other things,” Satoshi Nakamoto 2014: "I'm no longer in engineering"
1 million shares of Bitcoin . This man is so humble a shushi combo made his day .
Coins
my bitcoin stock doing a lil sum
If it hit 200K he will be worth 200 billion dollars lol
I have a few million coins to ensure stability
This interview confirms that he is the Bitcoin creator 100% sure.
@@DataLog Can you mention something
*That's his style of denying. He did invent an amazing digital currency that was just an imaginary decades ago.*
Hahahaha
"Satoshi Nakamoto is a fictitious name."
-Satoshi Nakamoto
And that's a fait accompli; the real Satoshi accidentally let it slip off his tongue.
I adore this humble man.
He said it can´t be me because I did not have a job and stayed at home. There is a lot of facts about this guy. He hates banks because he has been denied loans more than once. He is an computer engineer, he has the name. This guy lives a few blocks away from Hal Finney. The person that received the first Bitcoin transaction.
This is Satoshi nakamato man
Hate to burst everyones bubble buy Satoshi is clearly Adam Back, the computer code used on the original rules out Hal and in-fact almost all US programers. I's clearly a British person with a very academic background to coding.
what the fuck you are even saying @@terrytees
The Bitcoin white paper, published in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto, exhibits the double spacing after periods quirk. This stylistic choice suggests the author may have learned to type during a period when this convention was prevalent.
Double spacing after periods is a typographical practice stemming from the era of monospaced typewriters. This convention carried over into the early days of digital word processing, particularly among individuals who learned to type on typewriters or were taught typing before the widespread adoption of proportional fonts in the 1990s.
Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto, born in July 1949, falls within the age range of individuals who may have been taught to type using the double-spacing convention.
Bingo.
I truly believe it is him... he is the real satoshi nakamoto.
This was a statement from Satoshi Nakamoto that he supports the Sushi Swap.
hope this humble man is safe and healty for a long time
Cause for me he is the Face of Bitcoin
Even in my mind i couldn't picture a better face for this name Satoshi Nakamoto.
Thanks sir

I just love how he enjoys the food.
I reckon he made it as when you hear people say 'Even if I did I can't disclose it' is just like someone crying for help.
No shit he made it.
He is removing glasses to read 😱😱
"I am not the Bitcoin founder". - Bitcoin founder.
He’s Satoshi but he doesn’t want to reveal his identity
When someone says i'm not that guy, he is that guy
His the king of bitcoin
This man lived close to Hal finny, the first guy to receive BTC from Satoshi. It is suspected that Hal finny liked this guy's name and took it for his online persona, finny sent the bitcoins to himself to test the project. Hal finny died due to a disease which the SEE A.I AYyy is suspected to have given him, as soon as Hal fell sick Satoshi dissappeared from the internet. R.I.P
But this guy had changed his name to "Dorian" back when he was still working. How would Hal have known what his real name was before Dorian? He wouldn't have gone out of his way to stalk the guy to see that his given name was Satoshi. He would have known that only if they were close friends.
By the way, Hal is not really yet "dead", he is frozen cryogenically:

Can you imagine if they bring him back one day and he is the richest man on Earth because of his locked crypto?
@@TheEmperor000 well could be really Hal because he stole the Name of this guy Satoshi Nakamoto. he really liked the name and sound of it so he took it. I would also take an Asian name when creating new Technology on the www it makes sense that the real Satoshi didn't came out in Public because hes "Dead" R.I.P. Hal Finney
@@TheEmperor000 then he crashes the market lol

Occam's Razor.
Most likely scenarios is that either he was involved, or Hal Finney saw his name written in the town they both lived in and copied it.
Could be a co-worker who decided to use his name.
This guy is so humble that he started a trillion dollar asset and all he got for it was a plate of rice and shrimp.
His lunch looks pretty darn good
this dude is 100% the creator of bitcoin
This guy: I did not create Bitcoin
Internet: whatever you say "Dorian Prentice"
Airgato Gozaimasu Sensei.
After Dorian nakamoto's privacy invaded, crpto community raised over 100 Bitcoins for him to express their gratitude and support concerning his ordeal. He said he is going to keep them "for many, many years." That's where I am concerned; he is the man.
Good point. Anyone know any activity in that wallet? Has it been moved to an exchange? 100 BTC is big money.
HE IS THE REAL FOUNDER BITCOIN, 100% I BELIEVED
I like how he's so happy from the food.
If I had a gun to my head, I would say Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto developed Bitcoin alongside Hal Finney who lived in the same town with him and received the first Bitcoin transfer. More people would have been involved in the business but Dorian Satoshi may have opted out after a while as he said but later denied, claiming he misinterpreted the question
The fact the real creator has stayed anonymous would suggest he'd deny it if ever asked.
Thats what the creator of bictoin would say
He’s was my neighbor. After selling on the first big spike, he basically sold his house in 2018 and went all in on Bitcoin. The guy in this video is the real Satoshi Nakamoto.
His full name is Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto 🤘
He proved someone in the SGV can change the world 🌎 💻💰
Imagine your face getting immortalized for who knows how long it will be
Just like me.
Its such an iconic face there couldn’t be a more perfect face for the must disruptive and revolutionary tech ever conceived by man.
Only the real Satoshi Nakamoto would have ate low quality sushi straightforward with no complaints and left none behind.
Fantastic
I have done my research and I conclude HE IS SN
What did you find out?
He is the one for sure, one day he will leave the statement declaring his mast piece creation:BTC. All in all we are so grateful to you . 👌
"I'm not Satoshi Nakamoto" - Satoshi Nakamoto
It is likely the he was a big part of creating bitcoin because he worked for a company the specializes in this form of engineering. Like he said, even if he did, he is not able to disclose that he was part if it.
Yeah he knows way to much for it to be a coincidence
He looks and sounds like a Japanese Bernie Sanders.
all fun n games till you learn he lived blocks from Hal finney
That is some strange video editing.
It's me all along.

100% this is our guy.
Pra quem nao conhece o criador do bitcoin , ele se chama Satoshi Nakamoto !!!
“Where’s yours” it’s him he wants to share a meal. He is sharing the wealth.
Where is the lie detector
It seems he invented btc and handed over to Hall Finney.
Maybe
they lived in the same neighborhood

he said that his not the bitcoin inventor, all that time he was at home.
Just to realize, this man, if he is Satoshi, one of the top 10 richest men in the world
Why keep showing what he is eating? Just let the guy eat his meal!
Hello Dorian. I hope you are good, today we have a corona virus outbreak. Our government jumps to conclusions , who knew everything would be closed.
I don’t know who this guy is but he looks like the founder of something big
So a guy with the name Satoshi Nakamoto has nothing to do with bitcoin which was created by Satoshi Nakamoto - hmmm?
"I am not the bitcoin founder."
- Bitcoin founder
Ok, i give up, i am a bitcoin creator and when i develop this because i just wanted to help us and i did all my best to make our life better.
And thanks very much for all our donation and thanks for helping me a lot, i would like to hug you all if i could!
This man was the real bitcoin founder for sure. I can see Bitcoin symbol in his eyes while he takes his glasses off !
They are so nice and hospitable to him in order to get information out of him!!! Hahaha. A highly usual interrogation method or technique.
FBI utilizes that technique too
This is definitely him.
He did it.
He touched his nose when he said he was not involved in bitcoin. That’s a tell for a lie.
Ok let me be clear this guy had nothing to do with encrypted currency. I feel bad for this Dorian guy albeit he is now famous by accident, but it was purely coincidental that his middle and last name happened to be the pseudonym for the real group, and to be very precise it was a group of individuals. In fact the creation of cryptocurrency had nothing to do with the japanese initially with the exception that Japan and China adopted its use early because of barriers to the free flow of monetary value across their respective national boundaries. Satoshi Nakamoto just happened to be the alias name used by the visionary among his collaborators that initiated Bitcoin as a distraction to deflect from the real group of creators who happened to be grad and post grad students from University of Michigan and to some extent work on the project was in Auburn Hils and Dearborn and Ann Arbor Michigan among some other lesser locales; this was in fact conceptualized as an experiment to discover if decentralized encrypted data could be used to transfer given values via p2p processing using what is now colloquially known as blockchain technology as a methodology to resolve a solution for the double spend conundrum. Needless to say it worked, and now humanity has a new method of transfer and ownership of digital values encryptable as a means of exchange for any desired reason for any given party to another across the world or anywhere in cyberspace that has a mobile price chain that happens to trade all hours of the day. This isn't to say that bitcoin is infallible but the magic of software is its use can be upgraded if so desired, but of course. The original design concept was purely experimental though in the end functional, and if Satoshi Nakamoto could be described as an individual, then it should be noted that he or she is only partially satisfied with the outcome of the final written code as not all ideas were thrown in the mix for the final finished product, however some dispute may have been present that bastardized the original notion behind encrypted currency. That is the basic background of how bitcoin and the cryptocurrency industry began, and reasons for not filing patents on the final product is simply because the desired outcome was to achieve a workaround solution to centralized monetary control. It was meant to be without patent so that others would have the opportunity to devise new solutions without restraint by way of a single entity to stifle innovation in the field. Others have filed patents in the field, but to be clear the visionary and the team are not hurting for added value. Pure satisfaction knowing that it worked as a solution could be enough gratification for the efforts made in the world of crypto.
Rubbish
So are you telling that this "dorian" guy who casually worked as a systems engineer on classified defense projects and computer engineer for technology and financial information services companies, casually his real name is satoshi nakamoto, and casually lived close to Hal finny who was the first guy to interact with bitcoin, so he has nothing to do with bitcoin? i dont know man, that's a lot of coincidences
LONG LIVE SATOSHI NAKAMOTO
