NYT investigation revives Adam Back as Bitcoin’s mysterious creator
The New York Times released a 12,000‑word investigation by journalist John Carreyrou that argues British cryptographer Adam Back is the true Satoshi Nakamoto. The report cites linguistic patterns, libertarian connections, and Back’s Hashcash work but stops short of definitive proof. Back has publicly refuted the claim, calling the parallels coincidental.

CoinGecko’s Q3 report finds Ethereum led crypto’s recovery as investors rotated capital away from Bitcoin into altcoins, DeFi and tokenized assets, with ETH rising 68.5% to close the quarter at $4,215. The broader market added more than $500 billion in value — a second consecutive quarter of growth — even as Bitcoin’s market share fell and its price decoupled from the S&P 500. The shift signals a structural change in investor appetite toward on‑chain financial products and large‑cap tokens, boosting platforms bridging traditional and decentralized finance while fragmenting market leadership away from Bitcoin.
