PANews reported on April 8th that, according to an investigative article published today by The New York Times, a comparison of language features between early Bitcoin emails and the Cypherpunks mailing list from the 1990s points to Adam Back, a 55-year-old British cryptographer, as a possible candidate for Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous founder of Bitcoin. The report states that Adam Back repeatedly expressed similar libertarian stances to Satoshi in his 1990s emails, and their comparisons of technology (Napster vs. Gnutella), energy consumption versus fiat currency costs, and self-assessment that he was "better at writing code than words" are highly consistent. The reporter further narrowed down the suspects from 562 candidates to Adam Back through multiple screening methods, including spelling habits and word combinations.
