The Mystery of Bitcoin

Many claim to be me,

Yet no one knows my name.

Many claim that we’re a team,

And wish to solve this game.

Satoshi Nakamoto is my identity,

Make your guesses now !

A glimpse or feeling of serenity,

Before I'll take a bow.

12 magic imposters,

Collective of the dozen.

12 is the magic number,

Maybe I'm your cousin.

2009 Bitcoin was founded,

30,000 lines of code.

The company feels overcrowded ,

Then here comes shop Silk Road.

The Imposter

My name is Craig Wright ,

I am the creator of Bitcoin.

I’ll shout it for anyone to hear alright ,

But I’m a fraud, a cheat, a true purloin .

The Second

My name is Hal Finney,

I am frozen down in Scottsdale .

I hope to live again, until then,

It's time to tell my tall tale.

2010 I got the first transaction,

Many claim I’m smart enough to do the entire action.

In April 2011 I disappeared completely,

My disappearing act was done so discreetly.

A few years later they were told I was no longer a part of the human race.

Yet no one would believe it as I left behind not a single trace.

The Rich

My name is Elon Musk ,

Master of Tesla and space.

Maybe I wear a mask ,

So as not to feel out of place.

I’ve paid 1.5 billion for cryptocurrency ,

To fund a form of deep security.

The Namesake

My name is Dorian Nakomoto - sadly,

The Feds knocked down my door.

They wanted me to confess - gladly,

But what on earth for ?

They read me my rights and locked me in their car.

Then out the window bright lights, a cop lit his cigar.

In a cell they questioned me, on my illegal activity.

Are you the mind behind all this Cryptocurrency?

Copycats

My name is Nick Szoba ,

A name not from Dakota.

BitGold is solely mine ,

And stealing our technology must certainly be a crime.

The Entrepreneur

My name is Paul Le Roux ,

I created Bitcoin and Silk Road as payment between me and you.

I am a mastermind ,

Who lives a life that is a little unrefined .

Criminally in charge of cartels, drugs , gangs and more

I don’t care whether you're married, rich or poor.

The Take-over

My name is Gavin Andresen

Nakomoto’s understudy,

A man clearly not needing money.

I took the job when he put up his hat,

He was not a man to trust just that.

The Team

We are Neal King, Vladimir Oksman and Charles Bry,

A trio of geniuses captured in our minds eye ,

We are the best programmers that we have seen.

Or maybe we are just a team trying to blow off steam.

The British

My name is Adam Back.

“He’s British” McAfee stated .

As we laugh, at the lies , of a megalomaniac,

Our beings are now captivated.

The use of my name

Has brought me great fame

The names Back , Adam Back.

The Friend

I made up a story, a long time ago,

About Sakoto and I to the rest of the world .

John McAfee is my name, I reside in a cell with a long time left to go

I know not who he is or what of a life outside these walls, a world

Away.

First of Two

My name is Wei Dai.

They called me by name ,

They asked if I was a part of this game.

I was one of two, that received funds from the man himself

Maybe I am not that special, just another client on his shelf.

Am I he, or is he me ?

I am credited in Satoshi’s white paper.

Bitcoin founder,

Ready or not he has won my favour.

Couple of Coders

Our names are Sotoshi Obana and Tatsuaki Okamoto , we’re both Japanese.

Suspects, we are for blending our names Satoshi Nakamoto ,

They Exclaimed.

“ Wait there's more , a specific code type. One that you work together on every day and each night ” .

Oh interviewer please ,

We will not appease

By telling you something false

Fictitious , fake or factless.

Browser its loading ...

Maybe read a book or two ,

On coding …

Then your work will soon be through.

We must come to the end of this time you and me and I hope you’ve enjoyed this Bitcoin fantasy. I know you and you'll never know me You sleuths please just leave me to be.

If I wanted to be found You would see me on TV Whilst at your local mall on a shopping spree. I may be off the grid or up there in space , Or may I’m a lawyer about to win a case, I may be training to do a running race, Or maybe I’m just trying not to be a disgrace.
