He has an IQ of a 1000. He knew what it was created. How it will go. When the time is right, he will sell all the BTC's at the same time to get it to 0 USD.

Gavin said it was Craig Wright and he's the only with holding the early keys too. It's not strange that he doesn't want to be the official satoshi though, because his business dealings beforehand was half-legal at best and the us govt(atleast at the time) were talking about bitcoin = terrorism and jailed the silk road dude for the rest of his days.

Yeah exactly. Craig should be able to sign a message with Satoshi's private keys. But he can't.


My personal theory is that Satoshi was killed in some random accident like a car crash. He was probably not too old (say, under 50) so he never made plans to have his coins passed along if he died.

If Satoshi was a real person nobody would take Bitcoin seriously. That's part of the appeal of Bitcoin: nobody owns it. If Bill Gates came out and said that it's his coin, you would have to take into account Bill Gates and your opinion of him as well as what you think of the coin. If it was one person getting people to use his Bitcoin, it would have a cult like feel to it and it wouldn't be considered for serious adoption imo

I do not think it is the NSA. The NSA works for US economic interests. It is not in the US economic interest to have a popular world-wide decentralized digital currency. America favors Ripple and Paypal, not Bitcoin and Monero.

I do think it is a team of cryptography experts working for an intelligence agency. Now which countries would benefit from an America that is less in control of money and transactions?

Russia? China? If China the coins will be used to prop up Bitcoin Cash.

NSA already recommends SHA-384. It makes no sense for them to incentivize cracking SHA. Once quantum-resistant algo's hit the market, SHA will be deprecated and all will switch. If quantum decryption hits before the NSA can patch top secret encrypted information, it got a huge problem.

Satoshi cut contact with Gavin because he knew he was cucky and didn't like how he agreed to meet with cia or whatever 3 letter agency he met with.

He disappeared because he knew he created something big and all it had to do was catch on; there's thousands of programmers in the world who can continue and improve upon his work.

Think about the Terminator arm they found at the end of t1, it was future tech but all they had to do was study it and in the future they could recreate something so awesome, however silly it was portraying a nigger as the "lead smart guy" in t2

Despite being a good director James Cameron is a total cuck, he knows where his bread is buttered, giving that role to a nigger scored him major points with the yids controlling Hollywood.

He likely bought more coins at a low price and is still rich as fuck now. The only thing it would be worthwhile for him to come out for is if he decided to start a space exploration company and literally change the world, although if I were him I'd wait until the price is higher and more stable

Most of the old bankers are clueless when it comes to anything electronic. Maybe some rare exception yeah, maybe. It's definitely someone who is/was already "established" before though. I doubt they even need the billions, they were probably already well off.

Posthumous recognition is of course patrician, though he's likely pissed off the very people who pad the legacies of "genius" men, etc. We'll have to see in 50 years what happens...

The genius of it to me is that no matter what the US, or any country does, the price of Bitcoin will only rise. If there is a war, the price rises and therefore weakens fiat even further. Satoshi will go down in history undoubtedly, truly a pivotal figure.
