People used to think he was Satoshi? I guess that theory was abandoned? I'm not a math guy. @south_korea_ln, do you know much about this man and his proof of the abc conjecture?

People should abandon the idea of pursuing "who is Satoshi"... Satoshi is dead. Forever.
Anybody pretending to be SN is a scammer.

I also dont understand the fascination of finding out who the founder was.
But people want to assmilk what they can.

I know. That's why I said "I guess people used to think he was Satoshi?"

I consulted Chat GPT:
Shinichi Mochizuki is a renowned Japanese mathematician known for his groundbreaking contributions to number theory. Born on March 29, 1969, he gained prominence for his work on Inter-universal Teichmüller theory (IUT), a highly complex framework he introduced in 2012. This theory claims to solve the long-standing abc conjecture, a major problem in mathematics.
Mochizuki’s work is noted for its extreme abstraction and difficulty, leading to both admiration and controversy within the mathematical community. Despite extensive efforts, many mathematicians have struggled to fully verify or understand his proofs due to their dense and unconventional presentation.
He is also known for his reclusive and enigmatic nature, rarely engaging with the public or media. This has fueled speculative theories, such as Ted Nelson’s suggestion that Mochizuki could be the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. However, Mochizuki has never commented on these claims, and there is no evidence linking him to Bitcoin or cryptocurrency development.
Mochizuki’s work continues to be influential in theoretical mathematics, and his unique approach has earned him a place as one of the most fascinating figures in modern mathematics.

Wow! He's even more interesting than I knew from searching last night.
