Max Keiser, vocal Bitcoin evangelist and currently a Bitcoin advisor to El Salvador’s president Nayib Bukele, has published a tweet about Satoshi Nakamoto.
Keiser claims that he knows where the mysterious Bitcoin creator should be found. Well, at least figuratively.
Satoshi lives…here, according to Max Keiser
Keiser posted a tweet with a magician from a fantasy story, who looks like Tolkien’s Gandalf, surfing on a board among high waves with a magic wand, wearing a pointed hat.
It seems that Keiser metaphorically depicted Satoshi as Gandalf or a Santa Clause, adding that similarly to the latter living in the North Pole, the country of eternal snow, Satoshi Nakamoto should live in the “Bitcoin country” – El Salvador: “Satoshi lives in El Salvador, BITCOIN COUNTRY.”

Satoshi lost and found
Recently, it was reported that the Satoshi statue erected in Lugano, Switzerland, and unveiled last year, went missing from its podium. The life-size statue of the enigmatic IT engineer was constructed in collaboration with Tether and the PlanB initiative.
An early Bitcoin activist and Satoshi ally, Adam Back, whose invention, Hashcash, was mentioned in the Bitcoin whitepaper by Satoshi, commented ironically that Satoshi had again disappeared. However, the missing statue was later found not far from where it had gone missing, in the river.
