@Satoshi resurfaces after five years
@Satoshi, the handle for a verified account under Satoshi Nakamoto, has tweeted for the first time in five years, describing Bitcoin as a “predicate machine.” The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines predicate as a term designating a property or relation. More broadly, “something which is affirmed or denied concerning an argument of a proposition." There are over 3.2 million views on the post already. The last tweet before this was on October 31, 2018.

However, whether or not the account on X @Satoshi belongs to him remains unknown, considering nobody actually knows who the real Satoshi Nakamoto is. It should be noted that this is the first time since 2018 that the account has tweeted, a move that has sparked the interest of players, individuals, and organizations alike, including Kraken Exchange as users try to determine the individual behind the account.
