A 120-page email exchange between Satoshi Nakamoto and his former partner, Martti Malmi, has shed light on the early days of Bitcoin, despite ongoing debates surrounding Nakamoto’s true identity as the pseudonymous founder of the cryptocurrency.
Recently, Chinese legislator Colin Wu shared this correspondence on Wu Blockchain, a renowned crypto social account on X. Initially presented as evidence to support Craig Wright’s claim of being the original creator of Bitcoin, these emails have now become part of the legal proceedings involving Wright.
According to Wu’s post on Wu Blockchain X, the conversation revealed a disagreement between Nakamoto and Malmi, with Nakamoto expressing his reluctance to view Bitcoin as a safe investment. This revelation has sparked controversy and further attention surrounding the origins of Bitcoin.
Initially, there were reservations about making these emails public due to the ongoing Wright trial. However, legal experts have now deemed them admissible as evidence. It is important to note that these emails do not provide concrete proof of Nakamoto’s true identity. Nevertheless, they offer valuable insights into the vision and concerns of the person behind the creation of Bitcoin.
