Nakamoto Sets the Record Straight
Dorian Nakamoto has fired back at the media frenzy claiming he is Bitcoin’s elusive creator. In a statement released through his attorney, Nakamoto unequivocally declared, “I did not create, invent or otherwise work on Bitcoin. I unconditionally deny the Newsweek report.” That’s right, folks—if Bitcoin were a party, Dorian would be the guy at the door saying, “Nope, not on the guest list!”
A Second Statement to Clear the Air
This latest announcement marks Nakamoto’s second public rebuttal since the Newsweek article dropped like a lead balloon. Just ten days earlier, he casually mentioned to an Associated Press reporter, “I got nothing to do with it”—although he amusingly stumbled over the name Bitcoin, referring to it as “Bitcom.” Talk about a branding fail!
Stress and Consequences
Nakamoto’s statement reveals the toll this whole debacle has taken on him and his family. “My prospects for gainful employment have been harmed because of Newsweek’s article,” he lamented. It seems that getting pegged as the creator of a multimillion-dollar currency isn’t exactly a highlight for a job interview—who would have thought?
A Final Word on the Matter
In a somber note, Dorian indicated that this would be his last public comment on the matter. “This article has been a source of great confusion and stress for myself, my 93-year-old mother, my siblings, and their families,” he explained, leaving us with a sense of sympathy for this man who’s just trying to escape the spotlight.
The Fallout from the Newsweek Article
What does this all mean for the credibility of journalism in the age of Bitcoin? Nakamoto’s strife is a cautionary tale about the potential impacts of sensationalized reporting. For the sake of every Dorian out there, let’s cross our fingers that the next ‘big story’ clarifies rather than confuses!
