Entrepreneur Says He Created Bitcoin

The identity of the founder of the virtual currency Bitcoin has been one of the biggest mysteries of the tech world. But in an interview with the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ, the Australian entrepreneur, Craig Wright, has publicly identified himself as Satoshi Nakamoto - the creator of the Bitcoin. He even took a 'paternity test' to prove it by using an encrypted signature used for the first Bitcoin transaction seven years ago. But there is still lots of scepticism about the claims. Jeffrey Robinson is the author of "BitCon: The Naked Truth About Bitcoin", and he told Susannah Streeter more about Bitcoin and why he's thinks Mr Wright's claims are irrelevant.
