From Scam to Billionaire….Satoshi Nakamoto Surpasses Bill Gates!

Bill Gates once called Bitcoin a scam, but today, the mysterious creator of the cryptocurrency, Satoshi Nakamoto, is wealthier than him. With a net worth of $129 billion, Satoshi has surpassed Gates, whose fortune stands at $124 billion.
