A man named Stephen Mollah claimed to be Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, at a London press conference on October 31. His announcement coincided with the 16th anniversary of the Bitcoin whitepaper but was met with skepticism due to a lack of evidence. Mollah faced technical issues during a live demonstration and failed to provide definitive proof of his identity. He referenced past claims and an unverified interview but only showed easily faked screenshots when pressed for evidence. The event, not officially endorsed by the venue, ended without the promised verification, leaving the true identity of Bitcoin's creator still unknown.
