We are talking about the anonymous person behind Bitcoin. I would put absolutely NOTHING past the original architect. Honestly, I would expect nothing else.

- spinchange 13y agoWould you expect him to not even be able to afford internet service or suffer financially while recovering from cancer and a stroke despite having an estimated 400MM worth of BTC?
- wmf 13y agoThen you get into the "he deleted that BTC because it was just an experiment and he wasn't in it for the money" theories. There's no end to it.
- MBCook 13y ago> We are talking about the anonymous person behind Bitcoin. If they wanted to be anonymous, wouldn't they use a pseudonym?To create a decentralized identity protecting project as an anonymous individual using your real name (because you don't want to be found) seems... poorly thought out. I doubt it's him.
- fluidcruft 13y agoHindsight is 20/20. By this I mean: the name was linked when the white paper was written. Do you think Satoshi anticipated that everyone would ignore the white paper and that he would have to spend two years building it by himself? My point is: he didn't choose his alias aided by the benefit of knowing what bitcoin would become. So it's suspect to deduce that his actions had been perfectly targeted to the facts of the present.
- jere 13y ago>Honestly, I would expect nothing else. You would expect the original architect to confess to being involved and then deny it hours later. Is there something about the original whitepaper that makes you think this person is mentally ill?
- jcliff 13y agoYou don't have to be mentally ill to act mentally ill. The charade has pretty much removed all credence to the idea that he is the creator of bitcoin. Perhaps that's what he wants.

- 345723 13y ago> You would expect the original architect to confess to being involved and then deny it hours later. Yes. Yes, I would.
- VMG 13y ago> I would put absolutely NOTHING past the original architect. An thus create a unfalsifiable, worthless hypothesis. Al Gore could be Satoshi then.
