BitMEX Research has playfully identified the late British singer Amy Winehouse as Bitcoin's mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. The tongue-in-cheek claim cites her British nationality and Camden residence as aligning with perceived clues about Nakamoto's identity. The research references Bitcoin's genesis block message—a headline from The Times of London—as supporting evidence of a UK connection.
Adam Back, Hashcash inventor and early Bitcoin contributor, endorsed the humorous theory. The claim follows years of speculative attempts to unmask Nakamoto, though BitMEX's approach appears deliberately satirical rather than investigative. No substantive technical or cryptographic evidence links Winehouse to Bitcoin's creation.
