Members of the crypto community have rallied behind a post on X (formerly Twitter) calling for owner Elon Musk to remove a profile claiming to be the fabled creator of Bitcoin,\u00a0Satoshi Nakamoto.<\/p>\n
On Oct. 3, user Pledditor posted on X, saying both the account claiming to be Nakamoto and the account with the handle \u201cBitcoin\u201d should be removed because they breach the platform\u2019s terms of service, which doesn\u2019t allow \u201cmisleading and deceptive\u201d identities.<\/p>\n
Pledditor highlighted\u00a0the areas of the terms and conditions they believe the accounts are violating:<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t misappropriate someone else\u2019s identity without disclosing you are a parody account. It\u2019s no different than making a fake \u2018Tesla\u2019 or \u2018Elon Musk\u2019 account.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
X\u2019s terms and conditions say that users \u201cmay not misappropriate the identity of individuals, groups, or organizations or use a fake identity to deceive others.\u201d<\/p>\n
It defines this as impersonating someone who already exists, while a deceptive identity is defined as misleading the public with an identity that isn\u2019t real. <\/p>\n

The true identity of Nakamoto has been a subject of discussion in the Bitcoin (BTC) and crypto community for years, but the Satoshi X account is reportedly run by a user named Andy Rowe, who claimed to be posting from the profile back in 2018. <\/p>\n
On July 2, 2018, Rowe said he curates \u201cquotes\u201d for the Satoshi account.<\/p>\n
The account had been quiet since Oct. 31, 2018. However, on Oct. 2, 2023, the account made a new post, saying, \u201cBitcoin is a predicate machine.\u201d It went on to explain that it would \u201cexplore different aspects\u201d of the Bitcoin white paper over the coming months.<\/p>\n
Members of the crypto community rallied behind Pledditor\u2019s post, calling the account \u201cembarrassing\u201d and that the change \u201cneeds to happen now.\u201d One user said they previously tried to reach out to administrators about those accounts but were ignored. <\/p>\n
Another user called for the accounts to be disabled, likening them to how X responded to the account with the handle \u201c@internet.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Bitcoin creator\u2019s true identity remains a mystery, with\u00a0many people over the years\u00a0claiming to be the true Satoshi,\u00a0the most prominent of which has been Craig Wright.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On July 21, a court in the United Kingdom granted Wright an appeal in his Bitcoin rights lawsuit, in which he claimed copyright to the Bitcoin white paper and database.<\/p>\n
