An unidentified Satoshi Nakamoto is credited with what concept that has taken the financial world by storm?
"to Gavin Andresen, transferred several related domains to various prominent members of the bitcoin community, and stopped his involvement in the project. Until shortly before his absence and handover, Nakamoto made all modifications to the source code himself. On 3 January 2009, the bitcoin network came into existence with Satoshi Nakamoto mining the ""genesis block of bitcoin"" (block number 0), which had a reward of 50 bitcoins. Embedded in the coinbase transaction of this block was the text: The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks. The text refers to a headline in ""The Times"" published on"

"Craig Steven Wright Craig Steven Wright (born October 1970) is an Australian computer scientist and businessman. He has publicly identified himself as the main part of the team that created bitcoin, and has claimed he is the identity behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. This claim has been widely regarded with scepticism. Wright graduated from high school in 1987 from Padua College in Brisbane. Wright was an adjunct academic in computer science and researcher at Charles Sturt University, where he was working on his second PhD entitled ""The quantification of information systems risk"". Wright says his first PhD was in theology,"

Cryptocurrencies are digital assets that can be used as an alternative form of payment to typical fiat. In current financial systems, however, there exists many privacy concerns and threats. A large hurdle in typical data-storage systems is due to centralization. Currently, when individuals deposit money, a third party intermediary is necessary. When sending money to another user, individuals must put trust in the fact that a third party will complete this task. However, blockchain decreases the"
