Elon Musk does not find his Bitcoin

An ex-intern of a company by serial founder Elon Musk claims that Musk invented the crypto currency Bitcoin. The denied the rumor immediately - and complains to have misplaced a bitcoin fraction.

The inventor of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin hides behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto and its identity is still unclear. In a blog post Tesla founder Elon Musk is named by the founder of the company MicroChange, Sahil Gupta, as a possible person behind the pseudonym.

Gupta once worked as a software trainee on Muscle's SpaceX rocket project, as online profiles of him show. But he can not substantiate his thesis with hard facts. But at least: Gupta provoked a reaction from Elon Musk.

The American start-up guru tweeted that the rumor ran out of nothing. A few years ago, however, a fraction of a bitcoin had been sent to him by a friend. "I do not know where he is," musk tweeted.

Satoshi Nakamoto is the name of the original concept paper on the digital currency published in 2008, which has enjoyed extreme success in recent years.
