Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto Thanks Bitcoin Community: 'I want to hug you'

On Tuesday, the California man, who last month was called the creator of Bitcoin by Newsweek and by senior Newsweek writer Leah McGrath Goodman, appeared in a YouTube video to thank his supporters, reports LaTi..

The 64-year-old appeared in the video with Andreas M. Antonopoulos, an entrepreneur and coder who last month started a fund online for people to donate money to Nakamoto. As of today, those donations -- made in bitcoins, of course -- amounted to nearly 48 bitcoins, or more than $23,000.
