Ripple CTO David Schwartz Unveils ‘Proof’ Of Not Being Satoshi Nakamoto

Highlights
- Humorously, Ripple CTO said he is not Satoshi Nakamoto
- The identity behind Satoshi Nakamoto remains unsolved to date
- The long-held Craig Wright's claims came to dead end this month
Ripple Chief Technology Officer (CTO) David Schwartz has sparked discussions in the crypto market recently. Notably, David Schwartz once again tried to disprove the claims that he is the enigmatic creator of Bitcoin (BTC), Satoshi Nakamoto.
Is Ripple CTO Satoshi Nakamoto?
One of the unsolved puzzles in the industry is the unraveling of the main personality behind the Bitcoin protocol. For more than a decade since Satoshi Nakamoto faded off the public scene, crypto proponents have pointed at several brilliant personalities that might fit the profile.
David Schwartz is one of the few personalities that many believe is responsible for the coin, especially because of his early work in the encryption technology. As the brain behind most of the innovative systems behind the Ripple Labs blockchain payments firm, it becomes easy to suggest he has a hand in Bitcoin.
Over the years, the Ripple CTO has made several attempts to correct the notion that he is Satoshi Nakamoto. On his official X account today, Schwartz shared a picture of himself with a masked fellow. Ironically, the individual shaped the mask to mimic the widely circulated image of Satoshi Nakamoto.

While the post from David Schwartz came off as a light-hearted one as he is known for, the responses generated visibly showcases why many held onto the believe that he might know who the real Nakamoto is. Despite his humorous way of convincing his followers and Crypto X that he is not the inventor of Bitcoin, he succeeded in creating a new army of those who believe he is Nakamoto.
Disproving The Fake Satoshi
While the Ripple CTO has made fruitless attempts to recuse himself from the Satoshi Nakamoto title, Australian Scientist Dr. Craig Wright paraded himself as the man behind the iconic digital currency for close to a decade.
With series of lawsuits filed against those who contend with his self-acclaimed status as Nakamoto, Dr. Craig Wright suffered a serious legal blow when a Judge in the United Kingdom ruled recently that he lied to the court about his status as the inventor of Bitcoin.
This legal blow has returned some normalcy to the broader Bitcoin ecosystem. Notably, the Bitcoin Whitepaper, taken down from the Bitcoin.org website, has now been reinstated on the platform. With the ruling, the fact remains that, no one knows who Satoshi Nakamoto is.
