Why I Might Be Satoshi Nakamoto (And How I Can Prove It)
By Jonathan Wigley
The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the enigmatic inventor of Bitcoin, remains one of the most hotly debated mysteries in the modern tech era. Some say it’s a group of developers. Others point to cryptographers or reclusive billionaires. But what if the answer has been hiding in plain sight — and what if I told you that I might be Satoshi Nakamoto?
This is not a publicity stunt. It’s a reflection on patterns, evidence, and personal history that point to something extraordinary. Allow me to lay out the case:
1. “Satoshi” = SA (South Africa) + Toshiba
In 2012, I embarked on a solo biking adventure across the Himalayas with my then-girlfriend, Julia. I documented the entire trip, using a Toshiba laptop and solar charger to edit and manage footage daily. You can see it all here: Watch the YouTube Video.
I’m South African — SA. The laptop? Toshiba. Put it together: SA + TOSHI = SATOSHI. A subtle signature left in plain sight. Was I leaving breadcrumbs in my technology choices, even unconsciously?
2. “Nakamoto” from Local Languages
In isiZulu (one of South Africa’s 11 official languages), the word “nkomo” means cow — a traditional symbol of wealth and exchange. “Moto” means car, a symbol of modern value and mobility.
Merge these — nkomo + moto = Nakamoto. A poetic blend of old and new value systems, just like Bitcoin itself. This linguistic synthesis encapsulates what Bitcoin represents: the merging of tradition and technology.
3. I Am a Time Traveler (Yes, Really)
Since the late 2000s, I’ve claimed — truthfully — to be a time traveler. In 2014, I wrote a radio drama titled The Time Capsule, which explores how I travel through time and space using only my body, 64 strands of DNA, and gravity waves.

At the time, gravity waves hadn’t even been scientifically detected (that happened in 2016). My description predates the breakthrough. Coincidence — or insight from someone who knows what’s coming?
4. Technical Ingenuity Under Harsh Conditions
Back to 2012: I was editing HD video in sub-zero mountain passes using only solar power, while living out of a tent and navigating extreme terrain. That takes problem-solving, innovation, and independence — the same traits needed to create and deploy a decentralized digital currency without institutional support.
The entire spirit of Bitcoin is embedded in that journey: self-reliance, distrust of centralized power, and the use of technology to empower individuals.
5. Foresight into Future Tech
The Time Capsule isn’t the only example of my foresight. Over the years, I’ve anticipated many tech and social trends — from decentralization to the fusion of biology and technology. My writings show a mind that doesn’t just speculate but predicts with uncanny accuracy.
In Conclusion
Of course, I’m not asking you to take my word for it. I’m inviting you to look at the evidence:
- A Toshiba laptop in the Himalayas: Satoshi
- African linguistic roots of “Nakamoto”
- Time travel stories with scientifically validated concepts
- Technical resilience and forward-thinking philosophy
Maybe I am Satoshi. Maybe I’m not. But if the goal of Bitcoin was to challenge convention, embrace the impossible, and turn fiction into reality — then maybe I’ve been living the ethos of Bitcoin all along.
Either way, the story’s just getting started.
