Who created Bitcoin?

Bitcoin was created by an individual or group of individuals using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto remains unknown, and it is unclear whether Nakamoto is a single person or a group of people. Nakamoto published the Bitcoin whitepaper titled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" in October 2008 and released the first Bitcoin software implementation and the original Bitcoin client in January 2009. Nakamoto mined the first block of the Bitcoin blockchain, known as the "genesis block," on January 3, 2009, which included the message "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks," a reference to a headline from The Times newspaper. Satoshi Nakamoto's involvement in the early development of Bitcoin continued until 2010, after which Nakamoto ceased communication with the Bitcoin community and disappeared from public view. Since then, various individuals have claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, but none of these claims have been conclusively proven, and Nakamoto's true identity remains a mystery.
