Why does it matter who came up with the idea for bitcoin? The protocol and the code are freely available for anyone to review.
I don't understand why people are pursuing a guy who didn't do anything wrong and doesn't want to be found.

- gojomo 15y agoIsn't curiousity enough? When people like a creation, people also want to know about its creator(s). See also: Steve Jobs.
