In an ironic twist, where names are often shrouded in mystery and speculation, a small XRP wallet label begat an outlandish dance around the Satoshi Wilde dancefloor-a narrative that lasted about as long as a soap bubble in a Siberian winter wind, thanks to the quick denial from its unintended instigator.
As the rumor mill churned, fueled by mere screenshots on Bithomp showcasing an XRP Ledger account emblazoned with “NotSatoshi”, enterprising members of the XRP community leapt at the prospect, treating it as if a letter had been found in an old coat pocket, spelling clues in the eternal guessing game unfolding whenever Satoshi’s ghost haunts the Bitcoin corridors.
The explorer page, almost it seems mocking in its simplicity, displayed an account with the infamous “NotSatoshi” moniker, boasting a relatively modest 5,847 XRP-or about $10,800 in the fluctuating realm of cryptocurrencies. It also listed a total balance of 5,854.3203 XRP, with a paltry reserve of 7 XRP, a handful of 19 tokens, two LP positions, 222 NFTs, and a verified domain-idle since a time past, three months ago, as if pausing for comedic effect.
“I set that as a joke many years ago.”

Lo and behold, the mystery unraveled like a poorly tied shoelace; the wallet labeled “NotSatoshi” belonged to Ripple’s CTO, David Schwartz-a twist with more irony than a punchline from a stand-up comedian on a board meeting day. This XRP wallet, laughably the star of the show for a brief moment, belonged to him and him alone, leading to an abrupt curtain call on the Satoshi speculation farce.
Even in jest, truth sneaks in unnoticed
Swift and ruthless, Schwartz delivered a one-sentence verdict: the label a joke from years ago. No grand closure, no Shakespearean soliloquy. Just a swift return to ordinary reality, as if saying, “Even in jest, truth often beats the fool.”
This flare-up, igniting yet another time, is but a flicker in the eternal gloom surrounding the Satoshi enigma. Schwartz, who professed no dealings with Bitcoin until 2011 when its value was as humble as 2.50 USD, is an ivory tower in the land of XRP. And thus, every uttered whisper about him reaches the echelons of viral gossip in moments sparse as hens’ teeth.
