Could Satoshi Nakamoto be Steve Jobs?
There can never be too many reasons to admire Steve Jobs, even those that are not true. Being the visionary leader and creator of the most iconic products of the most famous and valuable company in the world is not enough for many. And it is that according to a recent theory, there are those who They started attributing the creation of Bitcoin to Jobs.
In the world of cryptocurrencies, an anonymous person whose pseudonym responds to Satoshi Nakamoto is the creator of Bitcoin. For years, this figure was attributed to another figure in the world of finance, but thanks to an easter eggrecently discovered on an Apple device, Jobs entered the equation.
¿Wright or Jobs?
The rumor that Jobs created Bitcoin began with the discovery of a copy of the book Bitcoin on tech writer Andy Baio’s Mac. Baio wrote that Bitcoin’s founding document has appeared on every Mac since Mojave in 2018.
It didn’t take long for this theory to reach Twitter where several users shared Baio’s discovery and also conducted surveys asking if Steve Jobs was really Satoshi Nakamoto. While most said it didn’t or didn’t matter, a considerable number of people did.

However, and despite Apple has not given an explanation on the subject.several tests confirm that Jobs is far from even one of the candidates to whom this invention can be attributed.
In 2015, an investigation by Gizmodo and Wired publications has shown enough evidence that Dr. Craig Wright is the inventor of Bitcoin and in fact, much of the evidence led Wright to have said so under oath in court. And even if he wanted to take credit for himself, in case he did lie, and if the “real Satoshi” exposed him at any time, he would face a crime with serious consequences.
Therefore, and although many followers of versatile Jobs would like to believe in the idea, this time it is a theory of the Internet. But certainly, Steve Jobs is not the creator of Bitcoin. Even at the best time of cryptocurrency a few years ago, beyond some rumors, Apple showed great interest in this product.
