Bitcoin founder <a href="https://coinpedia.org/documentries/who-is-satoshi-nakamotothe-ultimate-quest-for-bitcoins-creator/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Satoshi Nakamoto’s</a> account has just posted for the first time in 5 years! What could it possibly mean? Can some hacker/internet expert reveal his identity with the present technology? Is this a sign for a bully rally to come?</p><p>All we can do is get our facts clear. Read on!</p><h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-breaking-the-silence"><strong>Breaking the Silence</strong></h2><p>Satoshi Nakamoto’s last online presence was felt on October 31, 2018, when he published a series of posts explaining the inner workings of the Bitcoin peer-to-peer blockchain system. Since then, his digital footprint had grown cold, leaving the cryptocurrency community waiting in anticipation.</p><figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>[5] S.

In the article, Bitcoin was called a “predicate machine” with several significant yet undiscovered components. The author, who goes by an alias, pledges to explore topics not made plain in the Bitcoin whitepaper in the upcoming months.&nbsp;</p><figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Bitcoin is a predicate machine.

His revolutionary idea for a digital currency system was detailed on the metzdowd.com forum, where he explained that Bitcoin was conceived as a novel peer-to-peer electronic currency system that eliminated the need for a reliable middleman.</p><p>For Nakamoto, the value of this token went beyond conventional digital payment systems, replacing the outdated models based on centralized minting. It’s widely believed that the Bitcoin code was created prior to the publication of the whitepaper.</p><h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-community-reacts">The Community Reacts</h2><p>The public showed a mixed reaction in the comments section of the Twitter post.
