I didn't know that the origin of the bitcoin was in so much doubt. But after seeing this story, the reddit stuff, and other comments around the web, this just seems like a lot of complicated drama. I don't see how serious people will take Bitcoin seriously let alone have it bring about a libertarian revolution.

Well it's not the origin of Bitcoin itself, it's about which human individual or group wrote the initial paper and the initial version of the software. It's a side-issue that is mostly pursued out of curiosity. Note that this doesn't mean that I agree that curiosity justifies the current witch hunt, but that's another matter.
