PANews reported on December 6 that according to U.today, Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz said in a recent interview with CNBC that he does not believe that Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto is still alive. Novogratz said when talking about Bitcoin's historic rise: "If Satoshi Nakamoto is still alive (because I think he is no longer alive), I am sure he will have a big smile on his face when he sees Bitcoin break the $100,000 price mark for the first time in history. Bitcoin is the best example of everyone working together to accomplish a feat."
 Novogratz also noted that there is a global rush to buy Bitcoin, one of the first global assets, and warned that there is a lot of leverage in the system, so he is sure there will be one or two sharp pullbacks that "test your soul" and that the leverage will eventually clear it out.
