April

when

Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>), decided to move on to other things 13 years ago, when they sent the last communication to Bitcoin’s first developers on April 23, 2011.
Bitcoin core developer Mike Hearn previously&nbsp;<a href="https://pastebin.com/syrmi3ET" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">revealed</a> the final instructions as part of an email exchange with Nakamoto about the challenges and technical aspects of implementing Bitcoin functionalities to control spam using BTC as collateral:
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “I do hope your BitcoinJ continues to be developed into an alternative client. It gives Java devs something to work on, and it’s easier with a simpler foundation that doesn’t have to do everything.”
</blockquote>
Satoshi’s final message also adds a sense of passage: 
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “I had a few other things on my mind (as always). [...] I’ve moved on to other things. It’s in good hands with Gavin and everyone.”
</blockquote>

Nakamoto’s identity remains one of the tech world’s biggest mysteries since no conclusive evidence has been found, which makes the<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/newly-released-satoshi-nakamoto-emails-treasure-trove-early-bitcoin-lore"> communication with Bitcoin's first adopters</a> a rich source of information about the early days of the cryptocurrency.

Various individuals have been speculated to be the original crypto inventor. One of the most controversial cases&nbsp;<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/learn/who-is-satoshi-nakamoto-the-creator-of-bitcoin">involved Craig Wright</a>, an Australian computer scientist who claimed to be Nakamoto in 2016. Wright faced a lawsuit by the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), with United Kingdom Judge James Mellor ruling that he did not create Bitcoin last March. 
Satoshi first introduced&nbsp;the world to Bitcoin with <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-btc-whitepaper-turns-15-satoshi-nakamoto">the publication of the Bitcoin white paper</a> on Oct. 31, 2008, which was circulated among a mailing list of cryptographers. The paper outlined a method for using a peer-to-peer network to create a system of digital transactions without relying on trust or third-party involvement. Satoshi continued to work on Bitcoin software until 2010, when they handed over control to other developers. Since then, Bitcoin has grown to become a $1.3 trillion asset.
