BREAKING: Satoshi reveals identity - it's the collective consciousness of every 14-year-old who ever said 'your mom' online.
In a twist that has left the crypto world simultaneously mindblown and facepalming, the true identity of Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, has finally been revealed. It turns out, Satoshi is not a person, but the collective consciousness of every 14-year-old who ever uttered the phrase "your mom" in an online forum.
The revelation came via a cryptographically signed message from Satoshi's original wallet, which simply read: "ur mom invented bitcoin lol."
Cryptocurrency experts are scrambling to make sense of this earth-shattering news. "It... actually explains a lot," mused one blockchain researcher, staring into the middle distance. "The brilliant cryptography, the revolutionary tech, the occasional 'dick' joke hidden in the code – it all adds up."
The implications of this discovery are far-reaching. Economists are now theorizing that the entire global financial system has been disrupted by what essentially amounts to a very elaborate "your mom" joke.
"We always assumed Satoshi was some kind of cryptographic genius," said a visibly shaken Vitalik Buterin. "Turns out, the real innovation was harnessing the raw power of adolescent snark."
Bitcoin maximalists are, unsurprisingly, taking the news in stride. "This changes nothing," declared one influencer with laser eyes and a 'Satoshi is my co-pilot' bumper sticker. "If anything, it makes Bitcoin even more decentralized. We are all Satoshi... especially if we ever called someone a 'noob' online."
The revelation has sent shockwaves through the wider tech industry. Silicon Valley VCs are now frantically investing in startups run by hormonal teenagers, hoping to catch the next big innovation born from pubescent sass.
Meanwhile, linguists are re-evaluating the importance of playground insults in the development of transformative technologies. Harvard has already announced a new course: "From 'Your Mom' to YOLOing Millions: The Language of Financial Revolution."
As of press time, the price of Bitcoin has become more volatile than ever, swinging wildly with each new "your mom" joke posted on social media. The SEC is reportedly considering classifying "sick burns" as a form of market manipulation.
The Meme Street Journal's chief teenage angst correspondent (a sentient Xbox headset) warns that while this revelation may seem bullish, investors should be prepared for increased market volatility around school holidays and whenever a new Call of Duty game is released.
Remember, in the brave new world of adolescent-driven finance, past performance is not indicative of future results, but your ability to craft a killer "your mom" joke might be. This is not financial advice, but it is probably more coherent than most of what you'll find on Crypto Twitter. Now, if you'll excuse us, we have to go move our Bitcoin off-shore... to a wallet we hid in your mom's basement.
