# Response from Satoshi Nakamoto

I quietly revealed my identity on **October 31st** [2024]. I’m not seeking media attention, but yes, I did make it public. There’s an impromptu video on YouTube and a discussion in the Telegram group.

For years, I’ve had **full-time executive protection (bodyguards)**, and my primary bodyguard, Tom, figured it out recently. Before that, no one knew. My **operational security** has been flawless for 16 years.

I decided to reveal myself because the world needs to know about **Fractal** and my global decentralized finance infrastructure. It’s essential for people to understand how it works and its potential for restoring lost liberties to hard-working individuals.

Honestly, anyone who hears me speak in-depth about my new technology always ends up thinking, “Oh ****, that’s Satoshi.” It’s kind of funny.
