1636, the Netherlands. The highest per capita income. The better people live, the more of the economy is focused on luxury goods. And as we know, in terms of luxury there is no limit to human imagination. And then someone, having acquired the most expensive mansion, handmade furniture, and incredibly beautiful dishes, decided to turn his attention to tulip bulbs. The fact is that some varieties of tulips are subject to mutation: they have an unusual color and shape. To possess such a flower was considered a sign of the finest taste, and, of course, wealth. And then the prices for mutated tulip bulbs skyrocketed. Some copies could be eas

Here are a few more assumptions. This time, a little more adequate. In 2014, a Japanese-American physicist, Dorian Nakamoto, was found by the media interested in finding the real Nakamoto. Journalists were interested in his name, field of activity (Mr. Nakamoto worked in both secret defense projects and large financial companies), and libertarian views.

The representative paused and mysteriously said, "What

Almost nothing. The creator of bitcoin (or a group of individuals, as some believe) went to great lengths to remain anonymous. Here we could end this article. But several interesting facts still lie on the surface, and these facts once again confirm the mystery of this figure. On the P2P Foundation website, Satoshi indicated his date and place of birth: April 5, 1975, Japan. Given the secrecy of this person, it is safe to say that this information is not true. Moreover, some publicists spotted an Easter egg on this date. On this date, in 1933, American President Franklin Roosevelt signed a decree on the confiscation of gold from citize
