 Members of the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="community" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/community.html">community</a> have rallied behind a post on X calling for Elon Musk to remove the profile on the platform that has been claiming to be the fabled creator of Bitcoin (BTC) Satoshi Nakamoto.&nbsp; 
 On Oct. 3 the X profile Pledditor posted saying both the account claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto and the account with the handle “Bitcoin” should be removed as they are breaching the platform’s terms of service for using "misleading and deceptive" identities. 
 <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> 
 Hey @ElonMusk, the @Bitcoin and @Satoshi accounts are in breach of your terms of service for using "misleading and deceptive" identities. Please remove the checkmarks. pic.twitter.com/BCwFMSOfQJ— Pledditor (@Pledditor) October 2, 2023 
 </blockquote> 
 Pledditor continued to highlight the areas of the terms and conditions in which they believed the accounts to be violating.&nbsp; 
 <blockquote>
 “You can't misappropriate someone else's identity without disclosing you are a parody account. It's no different than making a fake 'Tesla' or 'Elon Musk' account.” 
 </blockquote> 
 The terms and conditions of the X platform have a specific policy for misleading or deceptive identities, in which it says, “[users] may not misappropriate the identity of individuals, groups, or organizations or use a fake identity to deceive others.” 
 It defined this as impersonation of someone who already exists, and also deceptive identities which it defines as misleading the public with an identity that isn’t real.

 Aside from the ongoing controversy over the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, which has been a subject of discussion in the Bitcoin and <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="community" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/community.html">community</a> for years, the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="account" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/account.html">account</a> has been claimed to be run by an X user named Andy Rowe back in 2018. 
 On July 2, 2018 Rowe posted saying he curates “quotes” for the Satoshi account.

 I curate quotes from Satoshi Nakamoto at @satoshi. AMA!— Andy Rowe (@andyrowe) July 2, 2018

 The <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="account" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/account.html">account</a> has been quiet since Oct. 31, 2018. However, on Oct. 2 of this year, the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="account" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/account.html">account</a> made a new post saying “Bitcoin is a predicate machine” and then going on to explain how it will “explore different aspects of the whitepaper” over the coming months.&nbsp; 
 <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> 
 Bitcoin is a predicate machine. Over the following months, we shall explore different aspects that were not explicitly contained within the white paper. These aspects are all parts of bitcoin, and are important. Some of these ideas were touched upon in the early years; now is…— Satoshi Nakamoto (@satoshi) October 2, 2023 
 </blockquote> 
 Members of the crypto community rallied behind Pledditor’s post calling the account “embarrassing” and that this “needs to happen now.” One user said he previously tried to reach out to administrators about those accounts but was ignored. 
 Another user called for the accounts to be disabled and likened them to what X did with the account with the handle “@internet.” 
 <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> 
 Both accounts should be disabled imo, just like they did with @internet.— . (@m__btc) October 3, 2023

 Satoshi’s true identity remains a mystery, with many takers over the years. The most prominent claim of Satoshi’s identity is from Craig Wright.&nbsp; 
 On July 21, a court in the United Kingdom granted Wright an appeal in the Bitcoin rights lawsuit, in which he claimed copyright to the Bitcoin white paper and database.
