- lolcraft 13y agoSo this is the reasoning behind Ted Nelson's claim that Mochizuki is Nakamoto: 1. Both are Japanese. Or say they are. 2. Well, that's got to count for something, right? 3. Also, they're both smart. What more do you want? LOL. Also, his impression of Sherlock Holmes and Watson is the shit. You know, for a comedic piece, it's a great achievement to have it published on Business Insider as serious. Mr. Nelson's a talented troll. Great laughs were had.
