自稱中本聰的 Stephen Mollah 承諾提供終極證明

比特幣匿名創造者中本聰的身份終於可以揭開了嗎？至少，亞裔英國宏觀經濟學家史蒂芬莫拉 (Stephen Mollah) 於 2024 年 10 月 31 日星期四在倫敦出人意料地宣布了這一點。

The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous creator of Bitcoin, has been the subject of intense speculation for over a decade. Now, a British macroeconomist of Asian descent claims to be the real Satoshi.

比特幣的匿名創造者中本聰的身份十多年來一直是人們激烈猜測的話題。現在，一位亞裔英國宏觀經濟學家聲稱自己是真正的中本聰。

Stephen Mollah made the surprising announcement during an event at the Frontline Club in London on Thursday, promising a "live demonstration" to prove his identity.

週四，史蒂芬·莫拉在倫敦前線俱樂部的一次活動中宣布了這一令人驚訝的消息，並承諾將進行「現場示威」以證明自己的身份。

"I am Satoshi Nakamoto," Mollah boldly declared. He claimed that he had previously attempted to reveal his true identity but was “prevented” by external forces. An unpublished interview with the BBC was also supposed to provide evidence, he added.

「我是中本聰，」Mollah 大膽宣稱。他聲稱，此前他曾試圖透露自己的真實身份，但遭到外部勢力的「阻止」。他補充說，英國廣播公司未發表的訪談也應該提供證據。

However, the audience remained skeptical, especially since the information provided by Mollah lacked technical grounding. The event quickly took an unexpected turn when he presented "easy to forge" screenshots, according to Joe Tidy, a BBC journalist present at the venue.

然而，觀眾仍然持懷疑態度，特別是莫拉提供的資訊缺乏技術基礎。據在場的 BBC 記者 Joe Tidy 稱，當他展示「易於偽造」的螢幕截圖時，活動很快就發生了意想不到的轉變。

Participants, who paid nearly £500 to attend the event, grew impatient with Mollah's technical difficulties and his failure to produce concrete evidence.

支付了近 500 英鎊參加這項活動的參與者對莫拉的技術困難和未能提供具體證據越來越不耐煩。

Charles Anderson, who was identified as Mollah's "public relations officer" and organized the event, claimed to have seen evidence and supported Mollah's statements. But no compelling evidence was presented.

查爾斯·安德森被認為是莫拉的“公關官員”並組織了這次活動，他聲稱看到了證據並支持莫拉的聲明。但沒有提出令人信服的證據。

The lack of rigor in the evidence provided, such as screenshots without external verification, raised more distrust than conviction among the audience, who were ready to see irrefutable information like a Bitcoin transfer from the Genesis block.

所提供的證據缺乏嚴謹性，例如未經外部驗證的屏幕截圖，在觀眾中引起的更多的是不信任而不是信念，他們已經準備好看到無可辯駁的信息，例如來自創世區塊的比特幣轉帳。

Despite the criticism, Mollah insisted that he would soon be able to provide the ultimate proof: the transfer of Bitcoin from the famous Genesis block, a technical maneuver that only the true creator of Bitcoin could accomplish.

儘管受到批評，Mollah 堅持認為他很快就能提供最終的證據：從著名的創世區塊轉移比特幣，這是只有比特幣真正的創造者才能完成的技術操作。

"The Bitcoin from the Genesis block cannot be moved as easily as you think," he explained. He promised that an official press conference would announce this symbolic transfer "very soon."

「來自創世區塊的比特幣並不像你想像的那麼容易移動，」他解釋道。他承諾，官方新聞發布會將「很快」宣布這一象徵性的轉會。

This announcement, although promising, left observers skeptical. They recalled that several "Faketoshis" had made similar claims without ever managing to provide any tangible proof.

這項聲明雖然充滿希望，但仍讓觀察家持懷疑態度。他們回憶說，一些「Faketoshis」曾提出類似的主張，但從未設法提供任何切實的證據。

Mollah's case is also complex due to his many other unconventional claims. In addition to claiming paternity of Bitcoin, he asserts that he invented the Twitter logo, the Eurobond, and even the ChatGPT language tool.

由於莫拉提出了許多其他非傳統主張，他的案件也很複雜。除了聲稱比特幣是他的父子之外，他還聲稱自己發明了 Twitter 標誌、歐洲債券，甚至是 ChatGPT 語言工具。

These statements, which add to Mollah's previous claims on LinkedIn, where he lists the Bitcoin white paper as one of his publications and mentions blockchain patents, have only intensified doubts about the credibility of his discourse.

這些聲明與Mollah 先前在LinkedIn 上的聲明相結合，他將比特幣白皮書列為他的出版物之一，並提到了區塊鏈專利，但這些聲明只會加劇人們對其言論可信度的懷疑。

Through a promise of decisive proof but with no specific deadline, Mollah maintains suspense while fueling the myth around Satoshi’s identity once again.

透過承諾提供決定性的證據，但沒有具體的截止日期，Mollah 保持懸念，同時再次助長了圍繞中本聰身份的神話。

Although the crypto community remains divided between fascination and disbelief, the Mollah case reminds us how the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto remains a captivating mystery. If Mollah keeps his promises and provides tangible evidence at a future conference, he could redefine the history of Bitcoin. But in the absence of concrete facts, this claim only reactivates speculation about the true identity of Satoshi, an enigma that continues to resonate in the crypto world and may well remain unanswered.

儘管加密社群仍然存在著迷和懷疑之間的分歧，但 Mollah 案件提醒我們，中本聰的身份仍然是一個令人著迷的謎團。如果莫拉信守承諾並在未來的會議上提供實際的證據，他可能會重新定義比特幣的歷史。但在缺乏具體事實的情況下，這一說法只會重新激起人們對中本聰真實身份的猜測，這是一個在加密世界中繼續引起共鳴的謎團，而且很可能仍然沒有答案。
