Australian entrepreneur Dr. Craig Wright has publicly identified himself as Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto.
Dr Wright has revealed his identity to three media organisations - the BBC, the Economist and GQ.
In a blog post published today Dr. Wright offered cryptographic proof, backed up by other information, to make his case.
Dr Wright said: "I firmly believe that Bitcoin and the blockchain can change the world for the better. I didn't take the decision lightly to make my identity public and I want to be clear that I'm doing this because I care so passionately about my work and also to dispel any negative myths and fears about bitcoin and the Blockchain."
