Australian entrepreneur Craig Wright has publicly identified himself as Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto. His admission ends years of speculation about who came up with the original ideas underlying the digital cash system. Mr Wright has provided technical proof to back up his claim using coins known to be owned by Bitcoin's creator. Prominent members of the Bitcoin community and its core development team have also confirmed Mr Wright's claim.

Say WHAT??!!!! Omg Seriously?!!! And there was me picturing a 30-something year old Japanese guy in a Hawaiian shirt and shorts! Not an Aussie guy in a suit! I need to sit down and digest this news!! :-0
Hahahaha, this is the best response ever. I'm so surprised he's from Australia, especially because I live here!
We Aussies are also accepting digital currency (crypto) as real money as of 1st July 2017. So he and his companies will stop paying double taxation on BTC.
Hey Tess! I'm your newest follower now! Welcome to Steemit! I'm still a bit of a noobie myself! So Mr. Wright will probably be up there now with the likes of Crocodile Dundee, Elle Macpherson and Mel Gibson as one of the most famous Aussies ever! (And maybe you too one day with the help of Steemit!)
why only at this time he has claimed.
He is lying according to Bix Weir.
