2009, a pseudonym "in the Cong" people designed a digital currency, that is, Bitcoin. Bitcoin enables users to pay in a centralized, point-to-point network, which is unique in that it does not require a central clearing house or financial institution to liquidate transactions. Users only need to use the Internet connection and bitcoin software, can be to another public account or address for payment operations.

Ching personal data left on the Internet is very few, especially in recent years almost completely disappeared, so his life has become a mystery. But Goodman said today on Newsweek's website that she had found Ben Cong and interviewed him.

"I tried to find out more about the Ben Cong, including its low-key life," said Goodman. It is a bit absurd that the inventor of the bitcoin, the world's most successful digital currency, with a maximum of $500 million trillion, is far from his $400 million worth of Bitcoin wealth, hiding in a house at the foot of San Bernardino, Los Angeles. ”

"Equally unbelievable, when I knocked on his door, his first reaction was to call the police." As a result, under the witness of two policemen, I had a face-to-face meeting with Ching. He answered carefully about the bitcoin question I asked, but there was also a burst of material. ”

Ching said: "I am no longer involved in the matter and can no longer discuss the issue." I have given it to others, and now they are in charge, and I have no longer any relationship. ”

The 64-year-old Ben Cong, a Japanese-American, graduated from California State Polytechnic University with a bachelor's degree in physics, Goodman said. Moreover, Ben Cong is not a pseudonym, his real name is "in the Cong" (Satoshi Nakamoto).
