I didn't realize anything. Everyone and their mother has been saying that about Satoshi since day one... Also, Adam would have infinitely more to gain from being Satoshi than from Satoshi remaining unknown. He's been trying to take credit for Bitcoin ever since he realized that Bitcoin was actually worth something (he initially dismissed it). All his actions point to someone who's largely motivated by financial gain whereas Satoshi hasn't touched a single of his 1M+ BTC.
If you're interested in serious research about Satoshi's identity, try this paper instead: https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.10257 https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.10257
- adastra22 7mo agoAnd your HN account was created right between the release of the white paper and Bitcoin 0.1. Coincidence? Are you Satoshi?!? That’s about the level of investigative journalism performed by NYT here. Thanks for being sensible.
- olalonde 7mo agoMaybe :) But seriously, Satoshi is most likely a relatively unknown dude. Why would you spend so much effort hiding your identity and then become a very public figure of the Bitcoin community?
- adastra22 7mo agoI founded a company with Adam. He is not Satoshi. Neither is Szabo. Best not to speculate publicly as no good comes from it - not least of which there are organized crime rings targeting potential suspects for violent kidnapping or home invasion.
- silisili 7mo agoNot to be a jerk, but it'd be helpful for a reader to know how and why you came to that conclusion.
- adastra22 7mo agoNot to be a jerk, but none of this is anybody's business.
- storystraight 7mo agoyou literally detailed why you think it’s not him in another comment. You can’t even get your story straight. Give actual evidence or keep your mouth shut for everyone’s sake since it doesn’t add anything to the discussion
