WhoIsSatoshi - Candidate 8: Martti Malmi ✨ Martti Malmi is a Finnish computer scientist & software developer who helped develop $BTC during its first 2 years of operation, known for making the first $BTC to fiat transaction. Could he be the one?
that selling early was “regretful, but then again, with the early Bitcoiners we set in motion something greater than personal gain.” This was a view he later affirmed when he said, “you don't live forever. Pursuing something greater than yourself brings meaning in life.”
“Perhaps owing to Finnish culture, idealistic mentality and lack of life experience, I never thought much about making money. It happened accidentally as a byproduct of Satoshi asking me to keep my node running so others could connect. Thank you, Satoshi.” Malmi said that after Satoshi left, he found the project “less inspiring and exciting than in the early days, when none of the potential of Bitcoin had yet been realized.”
Since leaving Bitcoin, Malmi still hangs out in the Bitcoin forums and discusses new developments and controversies as they arise, but he no longer plays a central role in Bitcoin’s development. And he’s thankful for having had the opportunity to work on such an important project.
