To celebrate yet another article speculating on the identity of satoshi nakamoto, I've decided to make up the strangest thing I can think of and just declare that canon instead. By fiat, if you'll excuse the irony.

So, it's official: Satoshi Nakamoto was in fact Margaret Thatcher. The timeline fits, she needed a hobby in retirement and Satoshi vanished right as Thatcher's health declined.

Satoshi did re-emerge briefly in 2015, well after Thatcher's death, but there's a simple explanation: that was a possessed Jacob Rees-Mogg during a seance at conservative party conference. The 1922 committee wanted a gut check from the Iron Lady on this whole EU referendum thing, but upon awakening Rees-Mogg screamed that someone was talking shit online about the bitcoin block size, demanded a burner laptop, and they never did manage to get feedback on their trade reform drafts.

The evidence is there for people willing to look.
