NYT investigation points to Adam Back as Bitcoin’s possible creator
The New York Times released a 12,000‑word investigation naming British cryptographer Adam Back as the leading candidate for Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Back publicly rejected the claim, calling the evidence a mix of coincidence. The story follows a pattern of previous misidentifications.

Bitcoin is perched just above a critical $107,000–$110,000 support zone around the $111,700 mark, and analysts warn that failure to hold that band could trigger a sharp sell-off and volatile price swings.

The outcome will shape short-term risk sentiment, margin-call dynamics and institutional appetite for new crypto exposure.
