Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto has been named the most influential person in finance by Worth magazine, according to a Jan. 5 CCN report. On January 3, 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto dug up the first bitcoin, and the bitcoin genesis block was born. In the past 10 years, no matter how much Bitcoin enthusiasts around the world praised Satoshi Nakamoto and gave him (her) a noble title, the mysterious Bitcoin creator never seemed to care about these honors. Where is Satoshi Nakamoto? Is it life or death? No one knows the answer.

This man, Satoshi Nakamoto, was listed by Worth as the 44th most influential figure in the financial world. "Satoshi Nakamoto" is a pseudonym, ta could be a man or a woman, a person or a group of people, an earthling or an alien or anything. Bitcoin, created by Satoshi Nakamoto, is the world's first peer-to-peer electronic cash system. This system is developing into a financial market with thousands of startups and trillions of dollars.

A GAME CHANGER
Bitcoin allows people to send and receive payments directly to each other without requiring any third parties. It keeps records of these transactions on a public ledger called a blockchain, which is essentially doing what a bank is supposed to do — but at a much lower fee and much faster via blockchain technology.
Some of the world's leading companies such as IBM, Bank of America, MasterCard and JP Morgan are applying for patents for open-source solutions (blockchains) based on Bitcoin. These start-ups are cloning features of Bitcoin to create so-called "improved" solutions for their customers.
Bitcoin is also considered a favorable financial weapon against fiat currency inflation. Satoshi Nakamoto placed a supply cap of $21 million on the digital currency, a cap that makes bitcoin more scarce than gold, which is why speculators buy and sell the digital currency like any other financial instrument on the open market.
Satoshi Nakamoto allegedly controls 980,000 bitcoins, roughly 5 percent of all mineable bitcoins, and had a net worth of $19.4 billion at the time bitcoin was at its peak in November 2017. This is enough reason for Satoshi Nakamoto to decide to buy bitcoin in the market, although this is unlikely.
Dorian Prentice and Satoshi Nakamoto were accused of being the creator of Bitcoin in an interview many years ago.

Blythe Masters beat Nakamoto
Blythe Masters, former CEO of New York-based blockchain development firm Digital Asset Holdings, was ranked No. 27 by Worth magazine. Her ten years of experience on Wall Street helped Digital Asset acquire major clients in the banking industry, notably the Australian Securities Exchange and Google. In December 2018, Masters left Digital Asset for personal reasons.
Worth magazine had this to say about Bryce Masters:
If Bakkt succeeds, it will not only bolster investor trust and make bitcoin an asset, but it will also give ICE an edge over the hordes of startups trying to monopolize this nascent market.

nobel prize nomination
In 2015, UCLA professor Bhagwan Chowdhry nominated Satoshi Nakamoto for the Nobel Prize in Economics. But the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said it would only be nominated on condition of anonymity.
This award, like the RBS Prize in Economic Sciences in honor of Alfred Nobel, is never awarded to anonymous or deceased persons.
