FX.co ★ Technical Analysis of BTC/USD for April 25, 2023

Crypto Industry News:

On April 23, 2011, the enigmatic creator of the Bitcoin cryptocurrency, Satoshi Nakamoto, sent the last e-mails to the programmers cooperating with him. In them, he explained that he was "moving on to other projects", handing over the cryptographic key that he used to send alerts for the entire network.

The mysterious originator also confidently announced that the Bitcoin project was entrusted to the "good hands" of the programmer Gavin Andresen and "everyone else".

It is worth noting that since then - despite the passage of years - no one has been able to track down the projects to which the legendary Nakamoto allegedly moved. After handing over control of the Bitcoin source code repository to the aforementioned Andresen, he completely disappeared from the public eye.

As predicted by its founder, Bitcoin has evolved from an obscure, esoteric project to a trillion-dollar decentralized financial giant.

Now respected by governments, politicians, financial institutions and corporations, the flagship cryptocurrency is at the center of the mainstream. However, Satoshi's identity remains an unsolved mystery. His BTC holdings of over one million are still untouched. However, there are those who claim this right.
