I am Satoshi Nakamoto... Artwork

There could be a very good reason as to why no one has been able to unmask, Satoshi Nakamoto yet. Despite the numerous manhunts that have taken place over the years, it is not unlikely that in reality, Satoshi Nakamoto is not a person at all. Some people speculate the name is a pseudonym for an artificial intelligence created by an undisclosed government, although probably the US. Interestingly twelve years before Satoshi Nakamoto published his legendary white paper to the Metzdowd.com cryptography mailing list, a group of NSA information security researchers published a paper entitled How to Make a Mint: the Cryptography of Anonymous Electronic Cash in The American Law Review (Vol. 46, Issue 4 ). The paper outlines a system very much like Bitcoin in which secure financial transactions are possible through the use of a decentralized network the researchers refer informally to as a Bank. They list four things as indispensable in their proposed network: privacy, user identification (protection against impersonation), message integrity (protection against tampering/substitution of transaction information – that is, protection against double-spending), and nonrepudiation (protection against later denial of a transaction – a blockchain!). Coincidence?
