Whoever the father of Bitcoin is, he is also in the top 50 richest people in the world

When it reached $ 19,771 yesterday, Bitcoin brought the creator of this virtual currency to 44th in Forbes' list of the richest people in the world. The problem is that even after 8 years after Bitcoin was born, we still don't know who created it.

Over the past few years, we still have a guess about Bitoin's father with the fake name Satoshi Nakamoto. The 'suspect' list has cryptography student Michael Clear, the game developer Vili Lehdonvirta and the trio by Fast Company.

The closest case the world seemed to have found was Nakamoto who was in December 2015, when businessman Craig Steven Wright was examined by Australian police on tax matters.

Two Wired and Gizmodo newspapers covered Wright and many emails, blog posts and scripts of many interviews. At that time Wright did not confirm but later admitted that he was Nakamoto. Even so, he couldn't prove it when he couldn't give the signature to the first data block - something Satoshi really did.

The Quartz newspaper said that no matter who the father of Bitcoin is, the property is estimated at 980,000 BTC, equivalent to $ 19.4 million and standing above both billionaires, princes, Arab Alwalled investor Bin Talel but still Standing under the wife of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, Mrs. Laurene Powell Jobs.

Of course, the price of bitcoin is very unstable. At the time of writing, it dropped to $ 18,981, bringing Satoshi's total assets to $ 18.6 million. Even so, it is still a big number and keeps him in the top 50.
