"He's been caught so many times, surely nobody can take him seriously anymore, it's over, time to move on..."
Ha, wouldn't it be funny if Wright actually had the last laugh and that his claim that he's Satoshi Nakamoto was meant to have holes so that he would be discredited.
The whole saga of Satoshi Nakamoto and Bitcoin is so odd and unbelievable and fraught with so many open-ended questions one has to wonder what's true and what's not. The only thing for certain is that Bitcoin is real and that someone actually invented it.
Why would Satoshi Nakamoto bother obfuscate facts and hide himself, what would be his motive and what would he achieve by so acting? Even if unlikely it's completely plausible that Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto and that his seemingly shoddy claims about being him is actually part two of some strange hoax that he's cooked up.
Unlikely for sure, but if he is Satoshi Nakamoto then his place in history will be assured for certain, he'll be remembered for a double whammy that'll never be forgotten: the genius of Bitcoin and block chain cryptocurrency, and the biggest king-sized hoax/con job of all time.
Clearly Wright is smart but he could be smarter than we give him credit for. Wright's ego may be such that he wants an assured high place in history, if so then what better way to achieve that than to act as he has done?
Eventually the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto will be revealed and someone will have that last laugh.
