How do we know Satoshi is a he?
- nokcha 9y agoOf course we don't know for sure whether Satoshi is really a man, a woman, or a group of people. But for ease of conversation, people use the gender and number of the pseudonym (masculine, singular).
- zapita 9y agoThat is an embarrassingly obvious answer, thank you. Someone had told me Satoshi was a made-up name without a clear gender, and I had never bothered to check that fact.

- CryptoPunk 9y agoHe put his gender as male on his p2pfoundation profile.
- pluto9 9y agoBecause it's a (typically) masculine Japanese name. If the chosen pseudonym was "Steve", would it be unreasonable to assume it's a male?
