Australian entrepreneur Craig Wright on Monday identified himself as the creator of Bitcoin. Speculation has abounded for years as to who created the digital currency.
"I don't want money, I don't want fame, I don't want adoration, I just want to be left alone," Wright told the British broadcaster.
"If anyone puts me up for awards or anything like that, I will never, ever accept a cent. Ever."
He was outed by the BBC, The Economist and GQ magazine. He also posted a blog on his website.
Digital coins are created by supercomputers and then traded online or exchanged for goods and services by a peer-to-peer network of computers connected to the Internet.
