Ripple CTO David Schwartz's comment about Satoshi Nakamoto possibly holding XRP in 2017 has sparked new speculation about Bitcoin's creator.
Tiffany Hayden's comment jokingly linking Schwartz to being Nakamoto was left unanswered.
Schwartz, along with Britto and McCaleb, developed the XRP Ledger shortly after Nakamoto's departure from the Bitcoin project in 2011.
While Schwartz's statement and timeline suggest a connection to Nakamoto, there is no concrete evidence to confirm his or any Ripple member's involvement.
