It tightens the circle around Mr. Bitcoin, for six years – that is, when did criptomoneta – shrouded in mystery. Yesterday the Police Sidney led a search in the house and in the offices of a man considered the inventor of virtual currency, but states that the action is linked to tax investigations and “not to the information disseminated by the media on Bitcoin.” The fact that the house raided belongs to Craig Steven Wright, a professor and Australian entrepreneur of 44 years, which could be behind the inventor of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, considered a pseudonym. In fact, since the creation of the virtual currency the identity of the inventor is shrouded in mystery. In 2014 Newsweek announced that it had identified nell’ingegnere Californian Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto father of Bitcoin, but he denied any involvement. Now American sites Wired and Gizmondo , specialized in technologies, they are certain that the creator of Bitcoin is an Australian. Gizmondo explained that the documents in its possession show that Wright and an American computer, died in 2013, had been working for some time to the creation of a virtual currency you can trade online. The system is based on the Bitcoin transactions encrypted completely anonymous, it is not managed by any bank and the value depends on the trust of its investors. And the crypto-currency can be transferred over the web to anyone with an “address Bitcoin”, stored in a computer as a ‘portfolio’ or held at third parties that perform functions similar to a bank. For months, the virtual currency has come under the scrutiny of the American and European authorities who fear being used for scams and according to the American press a Bitcoin account would also be used by ISIS to move funds and fund its activities.
