Elon Musk, the Tesla TSLA -0.5% billionaire who has both boosted and crashed the bitcoin price this year, has become one of the most influential people in crypto.
The bitcoin price has fallen sharply this week, wiping over $100 billion in value from the combined crypto market. The ethereum price has also crashed back, with some of ethereum's biggest rivals leading the market lower and the meme-based dogecoin losing almost 10%.
Now, Musk has weighed in on the mystery of bitcoin's creator Satoshi Nakamoto, arguing the bitcoin inventor's true identity isn't as important as the evolution of ideas that led to it—and naming crypto pioneer Nick Szabo as driving that evolution.
