On a side note, I’m starting to suspect that Bitcoin, and Satoshi Nakamoto, is an internal NSA job.
And Satoshi must be the alias name for some cryptography expert, or experts, inside the NSA itself.
Hah, and even if you rearrange the words, its acronym is NSA. Like, Nakamoto SAtoshi. I just noticed that.
And maybe the architect behind it, used a Japanese origin name, to throw people off their trail. To pin it to some foreign country, instead of the United States government.
After all, who else can keep a big secret like this? And laugh all the way to the bank. While trolling the entire world, at the same time.
Some ideas:
1. The Satoshi Nakamoto guy on the message boards, wrote in perfect colloquial American English. Even his sense of humor was American. His grammar was perfect, and similar to a Millennial/Gen-X aged American. Like, he grew up chatting on AIM and ICQ back in the 90s and 00s. And probably on BBS message boards back in the 80s and 90s.
2. Satoshi mined the originating Bitcoins, and they are incredibly valuable now, and worth around $8.8 billion dollars in mid 2020. Who wouldn’t cash out on it, and realize all the gains, or even some of the gains? How about some super secret organization, that specializes in cryptography. And especially an organization that doesn’t immediately need the money.
3. Bitcoin mining is consuming a ton of electricity. Increasing carbon pollution, and depleting natural resources. There is only one other country that is generating so much electricity, that a large percentage of it, goes straight into Bitcoin mining. You can guess for yourself which country this is.
I don’t think this was intentional, but maybe a side effect is that it will bankrupt other competitor countries that the USA does not like.
4. Maybe another strategic end goal is to trick others to put their money into Bitcoin, and wait until it becomes very very valuable. Like, 100 or 1000 or 1 million times more valuable than it is today, it’s a very long and patient wait, then the US Federal government will pass a law declaring the Bitcoins to be illegal tender. And will then pass another law to forcefully seize all private Bitcoin assets, like the way cops take candy from a baby, with their Civil Asset Forfeiture policy.
Who knows. All this is just fun conjecture.
Maybe there really is a Satoshi Nakamoto out there. But, I’d probably believe Santa Claus is real, before I believe that cover story.
- rapnie 6y agoFun conjectures.. maybe Elon Musk is the elusive Nakamoto. Consider this.. The name is a reference to NASA i.e. NAkamoto SAtoshi to which he's in friendly competition to be first to colonize Mars. All those untouched Bitcoins are his fundraiser to build the colony mothership. All this perfectly aligns with his enthusiasm for crypto. And the Japanese name indicates Masayoshi's SoftBank is definitely involved. Hear Musk talking about a Vision for both Mars and Bitcoin? Think about it.. aren't all billionaires secretly dreaming about walking the fertile soils of Mars? No coincidences here. Don't just believe me.

- blackrock 6y agoI’m suspecting that the rich are going to start buying Bitcoin. The institutions have already started buying a lot of it. Something has value, because a certain group of people believes it has value. These are the people voting for it. Then over time, this value becomes worth its weight in gold. Maybe it starts to provide other useful services. This is the weighing part of it. Bitcoin can retain its minimal value threshold if a bunch of rich people and rich institutions all collectively buy into it, to establish a baseline support for it. Or a bunch of normal people collectively holding a few coins here and there. The only other institutions that can mint money, which are internationally recognized, are sovereign countries. I suspect that someone found a way to hack this process, and in turn create a new ability to store value. And in turn, created Bitcoin. It’s like the Tulip mania, but slightly more useful. The only way to make Bitcoin illegal is if all the major governments collectively ban and make illegal the usage of Bitcoin, and its mining process. This is the nuclear option. What is the end goal? Who knows. Maybe these rich people want to go off somewhere and create a new country, and Bitcoin then becomes their sovereign currency, because they hold the majority shares in it. Maybe they create a new man made island somewhere, and declare that to be their new country, and then move there to become citizens. Or they create a rotating space station, and declare that sovereign. Like an Elysium. Or they go to Mars, and declare the planet to be a new independent country, like Elon Musk. Then they build an army and a military for defense, and to enforce their Bitcoin value, and get the nuclear weapons to protect themselves from other hostile nations. Now, they have a sovereign country, with a sovereign currency, and they are the super elite rich with all their ownership of Bitcoin.
