Why Bitcoin's founder matters, as spotlight hits Australian

http://www.thehindu.com/business/why-bitcoins-founder-matters-as-spotlight-hits-australian/article7969659.ece

Since the founding of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin in 2009, its inventor or inventors have been shrouded in mystery. For six years, the individual or group has lurked behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto and hoarded a pile of the digital currency, so large it might crash the market if sold today.

The hunt for Bitcoin’s founder has become a cottage industry among some journalists. The chase has veered from a Finnish sociologist to a Japanese mathematician to a Japanese-American engineer, all of whom denied it the latter after a car chase with reporters that ended at the offices of The Associated Press in Los Angeles in March 2014.

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.
