Every couple of years, the crypto community enters a predictable ritual: the great Satoshi speculation. From Hal Finney in 2010 through the Jack Dorsey theories in 2020, we've watched as each year brought a fresh candidate to the "who's really Satoshi?" puzzle. Nick Szabo had his moment, Dorian Nakamoto faced the spotlight, Craig Wright made his claims, Adam Back drew attention, Elon Musk entertained the community, and more recently Peter Todd found himself in the crosshairs. It's become a self-perpetuating cycle—a yearly tradition where community anxiety and curiosity crystallize into a new conspiracy theory. By 2028, we can already predict another FUD narrative will emerge to fill the void. The cycle isn't about finding truth; it's about maintaining the mystery that keeps Bitcoin's origin story endlessly compelling.
