Kurt Wuckert Jr Author

Kurt Wuckert Jr. is CoinGeek’s Chief Bitcoin Historian, a role he has held since 2020, covering Bitcoin history, Bitcoin mining, the BSV blockchain, blockchain infrastructure, and the ongoing story of Satoshi Nakamoto. His personal site, kurtwuckertjr.com, describes him as “the world’s foremost Bitcoin Historian and blockchain strategy expert focused on reclaiming Satoshi Nakamoto’s original design for global scaling.”

Wuckert’s path to CoinGeek began in October 2019, when an on-air Bitcoin debate against Peter McCormack and Shinobi on the Hotep Jesus Podcast caught the attention of CoinGeek’s Editor-in-Chief, who offered him the role that followed. He has been in Bitcoin since 2012, and he has published more than 260 articles at coingeek.com since taking the position. From February 2021 until December 2025 he hosted the CoinGeek Weekly Livestream, conducting weekly on-air interviews with guests from across the Bitcoin and finance industries. His streams continue as “Kurt’s Podcast” at @kurtwuckertjr on YouTube.

Wuckert also builds Bitcoin infrastructure outside the newsroom. He co-founded GorillaPool, a BSV-exclusive mining pool and infrastructure provider, in 2021. GorillaPool mined the first, public, Teranode-built block in December 2025 through its GorillaNode implementation. In 2023 he founded Open Protocol Labs, a company focused on protocol research and tooling for BSV applications. Open Protocol Labs is the parent of bOpen, whose bopen.ai platform offers open source tools for agentic AI development and business operations.
