"Writing a description for this thing for general audiences is bloody hard."
— Satoshi Nakamoto, BitcoinTalk Forum, July 5, 2010
"Bloody hard." A distinctly British phrase. Satoshi used British spellings throughout. So does Elon Musk, who grew up in South Africa.
THE EVIDENCE
No single piece proves anything. But together, they form a pattern worth examining. All of this is speculative opinion, not established fact. Elon Musk has publicly denied being Satoshi.
In 1999, Musk founded X.com to eliminate banking intermediaries. The board fired him. Nine years later, Bitcoin did exactly what he proposed.
Satoshi wrote Bitcoin in C++, the same language Musk used at Zip2 and X.com. Early Bitcoin was Windows-first—unusual for cypherpunk projects.
Bitcoin appeared during Musk's 'quiet period' (2008-2009) when SpaceX and Tesla were struggling. The Genesis Block references bank bailouts.
Satoshi vanished in 2011, leaving 1.1M Bitcoin untouched. Why abandon a fortune? Perhaps because they already had one.
British spellings, British slang ('bloody hard'), formal yet technical writing. Consistent with South African English education.
Musk first publicly denied being Satoshi in November 2017, tweeting 'Not true' when asked. He denied it again in 2021. These denials are on record. But if you were Satoshi, you would have to deny it—the legal and regulatory implications would be catastrophic.
TIMELINE
BLOG
Satoshi Nakamoto's writings reveal a deep distrust of traditional banking. His critique of fractional reserve banking and the need for trusted third parties shaped Bitcoin's revolutionary design.
Satoshi Nakamoto's writings contain distinctive British English markers. From 'bloody hard' to 'colour' and 'favour', these linguistic patterns offer clues to the creator's background.
The Genesis Block contains a hidden message about bank bailouts. This wasn't an accident—it was a deliberate political statement that reveals Satoshi's motivation for creating Bitcoin.
