Satoshi Nakamoto & the Origins of Bitcoin: The greatest mystery in the history of science and technology: The most fascinating story in the entire history of science and technology

The mystery about the ingenious creator of Bitcoin concealing behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto has been fascinating the global public for more than a decade. Suddenly lunging out of the dark in 2008, this persona hurled the decentralized electronic cash system "Bitcoin", which has intermittently reached a peak market capitalization in the region of 1 trillion USD; in addition to its substantial and controversial role as a financial instrument, Bitcoin has also become a polarizing cultural artifact, and, for some, even a digital-age belief system that formed around its captivating origin myth. In a purposely agnostic, and meticulous "leaving no stone unturned" approach, this study presents new hard facts, which slipped through Satoshi Nakamoto's elaborate privacy shield, and derives meaningful pointers which are primarily inferred from Bitcoin's whitepaper, in particular its citations and follow-up communication, as well as its blockchain, and information that were widely up to his own discretion. This ample stack of established and novel evidence is systematically categorized, analyzed, and then connected to its related, real-world surroundings, like relevant locations and happenings in the past, and at the time. Evidence compounds towards a substantial role of the world-class cryptography ecosystems in the Benelux, and possibly the UK, Scandinavia (Denmark), or the Baltic region (Estonia), with strong transatlantic links to Anglo-America (USA, Canada), in the creation of Bitcoin. A plausible biography, psychogram, and gripping story of an ingenious, multi-talented, autodidactic, reticent, and capricious polymath and techie transpire, which are absolutely unique from a history of science and technology perspective. A cohort of previously fielded and best matches emerging from the investigations are probed against an unprecedentedly restrictive, multi-stage exclusion filter, which can, with maximum certainty, rule out most "Satoshi Nakamoto" candidates, while some of them remain to be confirmed. With this study, you will be able to decide who is not, or highly unlikely to be Satoshi Nakamoto, you will be equipped with a comprehensive set of consistently assorted facts and efficient methodologies to find suitable candidates, and you may unveil the real identity of the creator of Bitcoin - if you want. Even more importantly, you will understand the technological evolution, communities, and mindsets which gave impetus to the creation of Bitcoin; consequently, the presently circulating stories revolving about the creation of Bitcoin are seriously challenged, if not devastatingly dismantled. Why has everybody been wrong so far? Well, read “your Satoshi”, and cleanly separate speculation from facts, instead of adopting Chinese whispers!
