Or Israel?
The genesis block contains a huge front page news storey of Israeli tanks rolling into Gaza, images and all, put there by Satoshi themself.
- brokensegue 5y agoThe Genesis block very clearly referenced a bank bailout.
- champagnois 5y agoYes, but on the subject of plausible state actors -- Israel is among them. They also have a very advanced cohort of computer scientists and a booming crypto industry. There were even early cryptominers produced there, iirc. It would not surprise me in the least if their state was behind the SN pseudonym. Also... SN could have used any news article from any publication discussing the bailouts -- they made a choice to use a page with a massive graphic of Israeli tanks rolling into territory, rather than, say, any page from a more financially focused paper like WSJ... This could be just noise or it could be there as some form of nationalism or affinity for the image and storey.
