At 4 p.m. Eastern Time on August 18, the person claiming to be the creator of Bitcoin, "Satoshi Nakamoto," published the first part of information proving his identity on the website (https://satoshinrh.com/).

An hour before the release, the website's page was updated. The website mentioned that he will end his anonymity in three parts starting on the 11th anniversary of registering the bitcoin.org domain name. He said that he will reveal some unknown facts, including the origin of the pseudonym, the status of his 980,000 bitcoins, and his real identity. He will also introduce the Tabula Rasa project, which is said to represent his clear vision for the future of Bitcoin.

According to the website, he will first reveal some undisclosed facts about the creation of Bitcoin, as well as the reasons for leaving and returning. The second and third parts of the information will be disclosed at the same time tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

In his message, he said that most people think that he created Bitcoin just by chance, but looking back it is not the case. Now that Bitcoin has been understood by the development of technology, but at the same time hijacked by greed, he feels that he has a responsibility to work hard to take his vision to the next level.

He also recalled in the article his childhood, where his father, a banker who worked at United Bank Limited (UBL) for 27 years, told him about how Agha Hasan Abedi founded the Bank of Credit International (BCCI) and changed the banking industry forever.

However, BCCI was later shut down in 1991 due to money laundering, bribery, smuggling and related scandals, which affected more than 1 million investors.

He claims that he became interested in cryptography, computational/quantum finance and numerology while growing up. He researched the electronic currency company DigiCash Inc. while studying for a master's degree in computer science at university from 1999 to 2000.

He believes that the 2008 recession also contributed to the creation of Bitcoin. On a personal level, when he visited the UK in 2005, he was unable to open a bank account because he did not have a permanent UK address, and without a bank account, he could not access the Internet. This became a big obstacle.

So he wants to change that, empower the poor and the little guy and create a people's bank without borders, nationalities and discrimination, where nothing is controlled by the government and no one can destroy someone else's life because of political mistakes.

He mentioned that the origin of the name Bitcoin is not only the IT term Bit, but also another explanation, Bank of CredIT and COmmerce INternational, which means Credit and International Commercial Bank. He also showed the information of registering the domain name bitcoin.org at that time.

The origin of the name "Satoshi Nakamoto" is quite complicated. This name is related to his own nickname, numerology and Japanese banker Satoshi Sumita. He mentioned that Satoshi is related to his own nickname at home, Shaikho, which is a variation of the nickname Shekhu of Mughal Emperor Jahangir. He used the algorithm of Chaldean numerology when choosing the name and required the first letter to be S. After seeing the name of Japanese banker Satoshi Sumita, he thought that Satoshi and his nickname Shaikho were a perfect match.

He also recalled in the article his collaboration with programmer and computer scientist Hal Finney, who helped him get access to a remote PC to work, which is why some people speculated that he lived in California.

He said he is not a traditional programmer or technician, but has a good macro vision and can see things in a larger context. He can find useful things in obsolete technologies.

He said that his initial code name was just Satoshi, and the surname Nakamoto came from Hal's unintentional remark. Between 2005 and 2006, Hal commented when he saw the name Satoshi appear frequently, "Satoshi what? Satoshi Nakamoto?" Then the name Satoshi Nakamoto was used by him. In addition, the name Satoshi Nakamoto, both the surname and the first name, also meets the requirements of his Chaldean numerology.

At the end of the article, he thanked Hal again. He said,

"I owe Hal a lot. He was a true genius. At some point in my life, if I could do something to remember him, I would do it."
