2025:
The founder of Bitcointalk.com is Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonym used for the creator or group of creators of Bitcoin.
The forum's history began before its current domain. Initially, Satoshi used a SourceForge forum for the first technical discussions and development of Bitcoin, a forum that is considered lost today.
On November 22, 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto founded Bitcointalk.com as the direct successor and the main public communication hub for the project, welcoming users, many of whom came from the cypherpunks mailing list. During their participation on the forum, Satoshi published nearly 570 messages, with their last known public contribution being in April 2011, before disappearing from the project.
Bitcointalk.com today is the largest and oldest message board in the world dedicated to cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. It is considered a vital historical document and a fundamental platform for the community, where new projects, Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), and key updates are often announced. Currently, the domain is owned by Sirius (Martti Malmi), one of the earliest Bitcoin developers, and the forum is administered by a user known as theymos.
Regarding the entities that preserve his legacy, the Satoshi Nakamoto Institute (SNI) is a non-profit corporation founded in November 2013 in Texas, with the mission to advance and preserve knowledge of the history, economics, and technology of Bitcoin. It functions as a resource library, publishing Satoshi's writings and other relevant works.
