Chatbot technology has been revolutionizing the tech industry, from assisting people in tasks such as buying items to helping to shine a light on the mystery of the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. With the help of AI, ChatGPT has developed a list of possible Satoshi Nakamoto identities, along with probabilities.
Nick Szabo is the most likely candidate, with a 30% probability of being behind the creation of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin. Hal Finney and Craig Wright are in second and third place respectively, at 20 % and 10%. The chatbot has also articulated that there is an additional 30% chance that Bitcoin could have been created by a collaborating group.
Nick Szabo excels in two fields, cryptography and computer research, which endows him with credibility and places him above the other contenders. Others such as Elon Musk and Steve Jobs have also been associated with Bitcoin, yet the chatbot was unable to find any concrete evidence regarding their involvement in cryptocurrency.
The chatbot also revealed that there is a 40% chance that Satoshi Nakamoto is of Asian origin, considering Japanese roots and connotations associated with the pseudonym. However, the big question still remains: is Satoshi Nakamoto an individual, or is it a collaborative effort?
As highlighted, Satoshi Nakamoto referred to themselves as “I” in the white paper released in 2008, adding further evidence that simply points towards one person. Similarly, when other potential candidates have been considered, only one individual has been put forward, without any regards to a collective effort. ChatGPT reinforces this idea, with a numerical assessment of the probability of one or several entities, that is ultimately favouring the former option with a 60% statistic.
The debate around the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto and whether the individual was part of a collective effort, will perhaps forever remain a mystery. The chatbot provides useful insight that can offer some insight, yet solves nothing for certain.
Cryptocurrency has become such an influential part of people’s lives today and everyone is in awe of the mystery, behind the enigmatic individual who is Satoshi Nakamoto.
