The revolution behind the project of the bitcoin is to ensure transparency in a decentralized financial system (Bank), which has help many people’s life, since the centralized financial system (Bank) has failed, which Satoshi Nakamoto has successfully achieved. Satoshi Nakamoto is claimed to be a Japanese but there are some speculation that He, She or They used highly English language in publishing the Bitcoin. The Bitcoin is not control by any central body, it is owned by the participants and when Satoshi Nakamoto realized that the Bitcoin could go on it own, He, She or They disappeared without a trace and since Satoshi Nakamoto true identity has not been reveal. ![Better Vision Divider I.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZRgo3Y5m283hUHeuhMArkBvqcHF2hKbvmULEKco6w5p3/Better%20Vision%20Divider%20I.png) **CLAIMS/THEORIES OF SATOSHI NAKAMOTO'S IDENTITY** Since Satoshi Nakamoto disappearance without a trace, there have been many claims or theories of Satoshi Nakamoto and below shows two of them; **VINCENT VAN VOLKMER** ![600px-Vincent_van_Volkmer_said_to_be_the_same_person_as_Satoshi_Nakamoto_Inventor_of_bitcoin,_during_his_bee_art_performance.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWNaPLkzjDAhHap66vGmhkFNUUG5thHXCPShv5XyPnZG5/600px-Vincent_van_Volkmer_said_to_be_the_same_person_as_Satoshi_Nakamoto_Inventor_of_bitcoin,_during_his_bee_art_performance.jpg) [Source]( https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Vincent_van_Volkmer_said_to_be_the_same_person_as_Satoshi_Nakamoto_Inventor_of_bitcoin,_during_his_bee_art_performance.jpg ) Vincent van Volkmer is a bee activist, artist, mathematician and also cryptologist, who spent long years in Japan due the love he has for the Japanese culture and has decided to named himself pseudonym. Vincent Van Volkmer has contributed to the development of the blockchain with some experts group of people, which finally led to Bitcoin creation. Vincent Van Volkmer has made some sales of Bitcoin(20.000.000,00€ in 1st January, 20.000.000,00€ in 25th January and 20.000.000,00€ in 13th November) in the year 2018 which eventually led Bitcoin down. All this speculation claims Vincent Van Volkmer to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin, but He claimed himself not to be the inventor of Bitcoin SATOSHI NAKAMOTO. **DORIAN SATOSHI NAKAMOTO** ![quSgI5xs-dorian-nakamoto.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfKEzjafD19LHAgc1UQAQ9XiabcejyKve7X1FubNw5n9G/quSgI5xs-dorian-nakamoto.jpg) [Source]( https://news.bitcoin.com/many-facts-dorian-nakamoto-satoshi/ ) Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto is an engineer by profession, who's name is similar to the Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto. Hal Finney is close to Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto, who was involved in the Bitcoin project and was the first person to receive bitcoin transaction. Leah McGrath Goodman has interviewed Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto in March 2014, and in answering a question related to a puzzle, He stated that “he was no longer involved in that” and that “ he cannot discuss it”. Which McGrath assumed the word “it” to be Bitcoin. All this speculation claims Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto been Satoshi Nakamoto the Bitcoin inventor, but He finally denied been part of Bitcoin creation. ![Better Vision Divider I.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZRgo3Y5m283hUHeuhMArkBvqcHF2hKbvmULEKco6w5p3/Better%20Vision%20Divider%20I.png) **WHO IS WEI DAI** **Wei Dai** is a computer engineer by profession and a Japanese native, who is well known for his contributions to Cryptocurrencies and cryptography, through the development of the crypto++ (a library of cryptographic functions), b-money cryptocurrency system, which is most considered as the first cryptocurrency, and also proposed the VMAC authentication algorithm. He is also known to a member of the cypherpunk. The B-money paper is more or less like the Bitcoin whitepaper, which one could say, Wei Dai has just made some adjustments to the B-money to get the Bitcoin or probably change the name of the currency. Though Wei Dai has not been proved to be Satoshi Nakamoto. ![Better Vision Divider I.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZRgo3Y5m283hUHeuhMArkBvqcHF2hKbvmULEKco6w5p3/Better%20Vision%20Divider%20I.png) **CURRENT VALUE OF BITCOIN AND ITS CALCULATION IN USD** The current value of the bitcoin from https://coinmarketcap.com/ is shown below; ![Photo_1628012052151.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXxXndNYTTbzUZDdG5nn3KJyqS7gXGGx2BkXSpC2BLWCq/Photo_1628012052151.jpg) **CALCULATION OF BITCOIN** *1 satoshi = 1/100000000 x 1 BTC 1 BTC = $38,382.81 ∴ 1 satoshi = 1/100000000 x $38,382.81 1 satoshi = $0.0003838281 1 satoshi = $0.000384(to 3 s.f)* **CURRENT VALUE OF ETHEREUM AND ITS CALCULATION IN** The current value of the Ethereum from https://coinmarketcap.com/ is shown below; ![Photo_1628012052708.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmV7FY1VE42JgWaBny2vHUkpFarp7bnCmLvdHbPFVuyHgY/Photo_1628012052708.jpg) **CALCULATION OF ETHEREUM** *1 Gwei = 1/1000000000 x 1 Ether 1 Ether = $2,502.86 ∴ 1 Gwei = 1/1000000000 x $2,502.86 1 Gwei = $0.0000052029 1 Gwei = $0.00000520 (to 3 s.f)* ![Better Vision Divider I.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZRgo3Y5m283hUHeuhMArkBvqcHF2hKbvmULEKco6w5p3/Better%20Vision%20Divider%20I.png) **TRANSFERRING 0.001 STEEM TO AN ACCOUNT** The smallest amount of steem that can be transferred to another account is **0.001 steem**, which has not gotten a term yet. Trying to send **0.001 steem** to my friend @asabekblessing ![20210803_181610.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYVFHMdE6ZTAWBDEzkBXWzDVDEiGYLv4vaY3YX5WMW1up/20210803_181610.jpg) ![20210803_182020.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYjxxkrbUEKNAYoPuCw5KHK8CKBzfciG3MeJderi4WndT/20210803_182020.jpg) Validate the transaction by using your active key and clicking on **OK** and is successful **TRANSFERRING 0.0001 STEEM TO AN ACCOUNT** Again trying to send 0.0001 steem my friend @asabekblessing ![Photo_1628014124049.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZJYM63LVdEDLygH3ELFX8T1rdPeHmZPBBkR4L6ZAwpZx/Photo_1628014124049.jpg) It is clearly indicated on the above image that, **"use only 3 digits of precison"**, and this means that steem only accept maximum of 3 decimal places on the blockchain. As shown by my **steem dollar**, **steem** and **steem power** all in 3 decimal places. ![Photo_1628020836659.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNsWNSatz8uzYgE6AC8FBXZUbYxt1prRCacH1Hshx9Lu3/Photo_1628020836659.jpg) ![Better Vision Divider I.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZRgo3Y5m283hUHeuhMArkBvqcHF2hKbvmULEKco6w5p3/Better%20Vision%20Divider%20I.png) **CONCLUSION** In conclusion, i will like to say i had a wonderful lecture, because i now know how to calculate for Bitcoin and Ethereum, which has been dream. Thank you professor @awesononso.
