<p style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">In what is being dubbed as a historic event, an identity of the creator of Bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto is <a href="https://news.bitcoin.com/another-satoshi-nakamoto-unmasking-announced-but-bitcoin-community-isnt-buying-it/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">reportedly</a> scheduled to release information about himself on 31st of October at the Frontline Club in London. Due to be published on October 31st, on the occasion of the 16th anniversary of the Bitcoin white paper, this announcement has created renewed debate within the crypto community, though couched with ample scepticism.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Another attempt at unmasking Satoshi Nakamoto’: Isn’t this what was announced yet again?” Such a label has become popular as many people try to come up with their identities as the founders of Bitcoin only to disappoint and fail several times. This latest announcement also has had its fair share of eliciting a lot of attention since the community will question the event and its undertaking.</p> 
<h2 style="font-weight: 400;" id="strong-lack-of-evidence-fuels-doubts-strong"><strong>Lack of Evidence Fuels Doubts</strong></h2> 
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The last of them guarantees the presence of “irrefutable evidence” of the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. From a press release by prlondonlive.com PR agency, there will be a live presentation to affirm that Nakamoto is the founder of Bitcoin. However, fans have not been convinced by the lack of highly specific legal measures or second-party corroboration. The alleged Satoshi Nakamoto quoted in the release says that he has been forced to reveal his identity due to ‘legal issues’.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">However, there are doubts as to the legal admissibility of these claims. According to crypto researcher Morgan Lyle, “Any verifiable proof would need to stand up under intense scrutiny. The assumption is that every previous identity revealed failed and that it is unknown what proof could back up the current attempt. The community then is justified to be sceptical, given that the history of Bitcoin has been shrouded in mystery and controversies about the creator’s identity.</p> 
<h2 style="font-weight: 400;" id="strong-crypto-community-remains-wary-of-another-faketoshi-strong"><strong>Crypto Community Remains Wary of Another ‘Faketoshi’</strong></h2> 
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The scepticism of the Bitcoin community is well justified, as in the past, various people and groups claimed to be the creators of Nakamoto, but they lacked proof. Some claimants tried to use cryptographic signatures, while others advocated for on-chain activity. However, until now, it is still impossible to override scepticism about Nakamoto’s real identity. As such, lots of people who hold high regard for Bitcoin are waiting for the common expectation of yet another disappointing show.</p> 
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In keeping with this notion, Bitcoin developer Charlie O’Donnell said, “The crypto world has seen so many Faketoshi attempts,” and with each one, the community gets even more cynical. That over-used adage, ‘Seeing is believing’ goes a long way in explaining man’s tendency to disbelieve.” This view can be attributed to a vast number of ‘paradigms’ that are visible amongst the Bitcoin believers who view these ID tries as the mere public relations gimmicks rather than something profound.</p> 
<p style="font-weight: 400;">This is because some people want to maintain the decentralisation of Bitcoin, and they believe that anonymity of Satoshi Nakamoto is an essential part of the network. As such, many remain reluctant to uphold propositions that cannot be endorsed by other means and beyond doubt.</p> 
<h2 style="font-weight: 400;" id="strong-timing-and-location-add-to-speculation-strong"><strong>Timing and Location Add to Speculation</strong></h2> 
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Conspicuously, the intended unveiling is set for October 31st, which is symbolic, as it falls on the anniversary of the date for the publication of the Bitcoin white paper. Further, this co-ordinated date of release, chosen deliberately, brings sceptical disbelief which translates into some credulity for some but marketing mileage for others.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">That’s why the choice of the Frontline Club, a famous journalism venue in London, deepens interest in the event. However, the press release might only inadequately answer as to whether this selection contributes to enhancing the credibility of the announcement or whether it serves only as an aesthetic attachment. Many commentators questioned that the fact of the date and the location is more of a headline than a policy.</p> 
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Furthermore, the PR agency’s statement also came with an invitation to have a look at the “very house that Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology were conceived and brought to life” which can be seen as the final touch of a bluff. Although this has created curiosity to what is out there, some people have doubted the seriousness of the announcement.</p> 
<h2 style="font-weight: 400;" id="strong-historical-failed-reveals-subvert-new-assertions-strong"><strong>Historical Failed ‘Reveals’ Subvert New Assertions</strong></h2> 
<p style="font-weight: 400;">It is still not the first time someone has risen to the challenge of being the creator of Bitcoin, only to stumble. Previous imposters were unable to explain the cryptography that the community required with early transactions and wallets from Satoshi Nakamoto. &nbsp;Lack of substantiation afforded prior such proclamations could be refuted readily, which in turn made many people dismiss these contributions as rather an act of crying for attention.</p> 
<p style="font-weight: 400;">There is a propensity of negative expectation by past experience and this can shape the view on this new claim. Some people in the field of cryptocurrency claim that if Satoshi Nakamoto truly wished to come out, he would just sign himself with private keys that cannot be faked.</p> 
<p style="font-weight: 400;">This consistency in failed attempts may also explain why some Bitcoin advocates get annoyed by these announcements. Instead of contributing to knowledge and progress in this field, such ‘unmaskings’ are charged with criticism and negative judgement and are considered to clutter the field.</p> 
<h2 style="font-weight: 400;" id="strong-will-satoshi-nakamoto-reveal-stand-out-community-waits-in-suspense-strong"><strong>Will Satoshi Nakamoto Reveal Stand Out? Community Waits in Suspense</strong></h2> 
<p style="font-weight: 400;">And still, doubts persist as the Bitcoin community waits for the press conference. Previous controversies do induce suspicion as well as skepticism, but there is always segment of the population eager to observe. The emerging claims of “verifiable proof” from the alleged Satoshi Nakamoto has created intrigue but without more than an enticement, people are going to take time to be convinced.</p> 
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Whether this event will achieve all these goals is yet to be seen. However, the expectation to the press conference also helps to understand that the world of Bitcoin belongs to Satoshi Nakamoto who created this cryptocurrency but chose to remain unidentified.</p> 
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The community’s patience with these identity claims may be wearing thin, but this latest reveal has effectively managed to bring the focus back to Bitcoin’s origins on the anniversary of the white paper. Due to previous failed reveals that the community remembers only too well, the users expect to find their masked saviour on October 31st but do not truly believe that this “reveal” will turn out to be the meeting with the anonymous Bitcoin creator.
