I reread the Bitcoin white paper again today After reading, there is a question: Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? Why does the 9-page paper published 15 years ago seem to have all final rights concentrated towards the United States? In the 2008 financial crisis, Lehman Brothers collapsed, and the total size of the Federal Reserve's QE exceeded $8 trillion. The US Treasury bond market rose from $10 trillion to $35.3 trillion today (Real time) http://Treasury.gov 2025.12.2). The first sentence of the white paper directly points out that "the core problem with traditional currencies is the need for too much trust," which is clearly a public questioning of the central bank's credit system. So on October 31, 2008, a person using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto released "Bitcoin: A Peer to Peer Electronic Cash System". Fixed supply of 21 million pieces, decentralized accounting, and proof of work all seem to be the ultimate challenge to the dominance of fiat currency. However, 15 years later, the actual data is: 1. The total market value of Bitcoin is $1.28 trillion (CoinMarketCap 2025.12.2) 2. More than 52% of the circulation is held by US institutions and government (Glassnode+Arkham) 11 US spot ETFs hold 210700 BTC, with a net inflow of over $105 billion in the past 12 months (Farside Investors) 4. In March 2025, the United States officially established a "strategic Bitcoin reserve", holding 198700 (disclosed by the White House) 5. The proportion of computing power in the United States is 38% (Cambridge CBECI 2025.11), which skyrocketed from 17% after China banned mining 6. The adult cryptocurrency ownership rate in the United States is 17%, far higher than the global average (Pew Research 2025) These are just public data, without any emotions. Satoshi Nakamoto himself: -Having approximately 1.1 million BTC (about $118 billion), completely disappeared since December 2010 -I have never used this batch of coins before -There is currently no official conclusion regarding the identity Current mainstream speculation (ranked by evidence strength, for reference only): 1. NSA/CIA Background Research Group The SHA-256 algorithm was designed by NSA; In 1996, NSA published a paper on anonymous electronic cash; Tucker Carlson's 2025 program claims reliable sources point to intelligence agencies 2. Hal Finney (first recipient, deceased) Send him the first 10 BTC transaction; The text style has the highest similarity; Handing over the private key to an unknown person before passing away in 2014 3. Nick Szabo In 1998, Bit Gold was almost the complete prototype of Bitcoin; Multiple linguists analyze writing style similarity exceeding 95% 4. Jack Dorsey The timeline matches; Block Corporation has publicly stated multiple times that it will 'execute the Satoshi blueprint' 5. Others (Adam Back, Wei Dai, Elon Musk, etc.) have some coincidences but the evidence chain is weak Regardless of which of the above is true, there is a phenomenon that all investors should calmly consider: Is it in line with the spirit of the initial white paper for an asset designed as "decentralized, borderless, and censorship resistant" to ultimately concentrate its main liquidity, pricing power, regulatory framework, and reserve size in the same country? The 'Currency Wars' series only provides a historical perspective: whoever holds the power of currency issuance holds the power of pricing. Is Bitcoin going through the same logic today, just switching to digital form? I am 73 years old and have invested in technology and cryptocurrency assets for over 30 years. I do not take sides, only look at data and ask questions. This may be the most difficult secret of this century to decipher Perhaps WikiLeaks, which has been going on for many years, will provide everyone with the answer. Finally, let me ask you a question: Is this still the decentralized Bitcoin you used when you were All in? What do you think?
