According to Wikipedia, "Satoshi Nakamoto is a person or group of people who created the Bitcoin protocol and reference software, Bitcoin Core. In 2008, Nakamoto published a paper on The Cryptography Mailing list at metzdowd.com describing the Bitcoin digital currency. In 2009, he released the first Bitcoin software that launched the network and the first units of the Bitcoin currency, called bitcoins."

He has been quoted as saying that he had a little to do with creating bitcoin, but is not solely responsible. He does not take credit for it and appears to be a rather private person.

The art work depicts the moment when the concept of bitcoin enters his mind. It is much like the time when a gold miner finds a huge nugget in a creek and exclaims, "Eureka!!!".

Prints of this original painting are available in various sizes. The original is available for sale and the artist accepts bitcoin. Contact by email to inquire, ray@rayistre.com .
