Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff Claim to Have Helped Satoshi Elaborate on Bitcoinâs âPredictive Codeâ
Thereâs been a long-running joke that the Bogdanoff twins have the power to manipulate crypto markets after a meme started a few years ago showing one of the twins ordering a substantial dump on the market.
The meme has been seen by the twins, according to a recent interview on LâHeure des Pros and a recent appearance on the French television show âNon Stop People.â Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff said they have seen the meme, and explained that Satoshi Nakamoto probably has something to do with its online virality.
âIt is probably Nakamoto who made [the Grichka Bogdanoff meme] circulate,â Igor Bogdanoff said. Igor further added:
[The image] was in all blockchains between 2010-2012 [and] downloaded more than 1.3 billion times.
Satoshiâs Alleged Acquaintance âSoĂŻtchiro Shimodaâ and the Two âAncient Bitcoinsâ
The Bogdanoff twins are well known for their science-based television show called âTime X.â Since the 1970s, the twins have been scientific essayists and while Igor has a doctorate in theoretical physics, his brother has a doctorate in mathematics.
During the recent interview with the Bogdanoff twins, the two explained how they had worked with the touchscreen inventor François Mizzi and an interesting Japanese scientist dubbed âSoĂŻtchiro Shimoda.â
Thereâs been a long-running conspiracy theory/meme that says the Bogdanoff twins control the cryptocurrency markets. Bogdanoff-like memes show the brothers making calls to either âpamp itâ or âdump itâ when crypto investors least expect it.
The twins claim that back in the early days, they would discuss blockchain and crypto asset ideas with Shimoda regularly. The Bogdanoffs wholeheartedly believe Shimoda was associated with the âmythical person or a group of peopleâ who invented bitcoin. In fact, the Bogdanoff brothers further claim that two âancient bitcoinsâ were bestowed upon the twins back in 2008.
âIgor and I, as mathematicians, were able to participate in the elaboration of some of the [Bitcoin] source code, especially the âpredictive codeâ,â Grichka Bogdanoff told his interviewer.
During the two interviews, the Bogdanoff twins further revealed they owned ethereum (ETH) as well. In the near future, the infamous twins who are well known in memes and conspiracies, said that they will be launching a new crypto asset called âExo Coin.â
