U.Today - Today, April 5, the crypto community pauses to celebrate Bitcoin’s mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. According to his P2P Foundation profile, Satoshi listed his birthday as April 5, 1975, which means he would be turning 50 today.
Binance, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges, joined the celebration, writing, "Happy Birthday, Satoshi Nakamoto. The mind that changed the world with Bitcoin."
Satoshi Nakamoto registered his birthday as April 5, 1975, on his P2P Foundation profile, and this seems to be the only thing known about the Bitcoin founder. Given his privacy preference, it is hard to be sure if this is his actual birthday or one he made up.
Little is known about the enigmatic Satoshi figure, including his real name and whereabouts, whether he’s still alive, or if it is an individual or even a group. Satoshi’s birthday, like his identity, remains part of the myth. But whether it’s symbolic or real, April 5 has become a day to remember the one who started it all.
