Title: [2016-01-28] theaustralian.com.au : Taking a technological punt on bitcoin toss Post by: hendra147 on January 29, 2016, 04:30:46 AM I know I’m too late but I’d like to nominate Craig Wright, claimed to be the inventor of the bitcoin, as Australian of the Year. Under his presumed pseudonym of Satoshi Nakamoto, he was the toast of last week’s World Economic Forum in the Swiss mountain town of Davos.
“Welcome to Davos, Satoshi,” proclaimed posters around the town signed by the giant Swiss banking group, Credit Suisse. If indeed Wright, an IT security consultant from Sydney, is the inventor of the bitcoin, as leading information technology journals suggest, then he joins the ranks of the great innovators of the information technology revolution. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/opinion/david-uren-economics/taking-a-technological-punt-on-bitcoin-toss/news-story/3f620043564c1473c6486458cea3ddf7?nk=dce75760cce7c5e78093e9e4e5511ec5-1454041657 |
