My phone was blasted by 10 friends on Feb 25, 2021 :
“Victor did you see that bitcoin address in Coinbase IPO SEC S1 filing !? Is it really Satoshi Nakamoto?”
I checked out the Coinbase official SEC filing, and I was amused by the great sense of humor of Brian Armstrong (address not applicable)! 😂
Due to Covid-19, Satoshi Nakamoto is probably working as decentralized as Coinbase and AnChain.AI, so 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa Is definitely an appropriate receiving address for SEC filing. 😎
Now, grab a beer 🍺 or coffee☕️, and let Dr. Fang walk you through everything you need to know about 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa
1, WTF is 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa ?!
1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa is the miner reward receiving address of the Bitcoin genesis block, which occurred on 2009-01-03 10:15:05 UTC.
Here is the Bitcoin Genesis block transaction .
2, Does Satoshi Nakamoto really own this Bitcoin address 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa?
Yes. The AnChain.ai blockchain forensics team has confirmed, with 100% confidence, this bitcoin address 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNais owned by Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin.
Simply because this is the first ever bitcoin miner in the world created back in 2011.
3,Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?
The real character behind this Japanese name Satoshi Nakamoto still remains unknown.
The closest one was Dorian Nakamoto, but he later denied the quote and claimed that he had misunderstood the question. He told the Associated Press, "I got nothing to do with it." here.
I believe Dorian, since I occasionally have trouble communicating with my Japanese friends in English. 😅 I’m the one to be blamed.
While there have been various attempts and claims by others, many of which are entirely in jest, my San Francisco and UC Berkeley crypto friends and I are now more inclined to believe that SATOSHI IS BLACK.
"SATOSHI IS BLACK" is certainly more likely than other claims! 💪🏽
4, How would the SEC send the copy of Coinbase filing to Satoshi’s Bitcoin wallet?
Put your thinking hat on🕵️♀️. Let’s get technical.
The Bitcoin blockchain allows for the sending encoded messages in payment transactions. Technically, the SEC officials can encode the message using Hexical to ASCII, and deliver it to Satoshi.
Here, Dr. Fang will show you a real example.
In the Bitcoin Genesis block , there is a gibberish message says:
04ffff001d0104455468652054696d65732030332f4a616e2f32303039204368616e63656c6c6f72206f6e206272696e6b206f66207365636f6e64206261696c6f757420666f722062616e6b73
(Apparently) it’s HEX encoded, and can be decoded into ASCII human readable.
Python one-liner code would do the magic! 🧙🏻♀️

5,Tell me something that I’m not aware of. Blow my mind. Now!
In the past 11 years, Coinbase (and SEC 😄) are among the many that have transacted with Satoshi’s bitcoin address.
Check them out: https://ciso.anchainai.com/s/2I9OU1KUO7a
Among them, AnChain.AI CISOTMblockchain investigation platform identified a high risk sender that you may want to stay away from, for Anti Money Laundering regulation reasons.
In one transaction,1LNWw6yCxkUmkhArb2Nf2MPw6vG7u5WG7q sent 39 Bitcoins to Satoshi , in 2012. It was worth nothing in 2012, but it’s $1.8 Million in 2021.
1LNWw6yCxkUmkhArb2Nf2MPw6vG7u5WG7q is identified by AnChain.AI machine learning model as a high risk address, for :
- 1733 transactions with Silk road darknet ,
- Suspicious transaction volume: 5.7 Million bitcoins with today’s worth of $285 Billion!!!
- Affiliated with MtGox hacking.
