The first person to receive a Bitcoin transaction lived two blocks from a man literally named Satoshi Nakamoto. Hal Finney received the first Bitcoin transaction from "Satoshi Nakamoto" in January 2009. He lived in Temple City, California. Population 36,000. Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto, a retired engineer, also lived in Temple City. About 1.6 miles away. Forbes confirmed it. Read that again. The first person to ever receive Bitcoin from someone calling themselves Satoshi Nakamoto lived in the same tiny town as a man whose actual birth name is Satoshi Nakamoto. In 2014, Newseek ran a cover story claiming Dorian was Bitcoin's creator. He denied everything. But then people started asking a different question tbh. Did Hal Finney create Bitcoin and just borrow his neighbor's name?
