David Gerardthis is very fucking dumb, "who is satoshi?" is such a 2014 question, and this article is a nothingburger
at least they're not still harassing Dorian Nakamoto
gaytabase@davidgerard smh everyone knows satoshi is the set of all people who aren't craig wright.
Dr. Curiosity 💻🔬@dysfun @davidgerard I know I'm Satoshi, and so's my wife.
heptapodEnthusiast 🏳️🌈@dysfun @davidgerard We Are All Satoshi Except Fuck That Guy In Particular
Craig Wright 🐵@dysfun @davidgerard sadly, I know that better than anyone. 😭
Regalia 
@davidgerard Maybe my lens is cynical, but I'm not even sure if it has any significance anymore. Bitcoin is out there now, clearly past Satoshi (definitely for worse, not for better). What would anyone even do once Satoshi is known? Send a cryptographer a yacht?
A bad faith side of me wants to say tech bros are just searching for another god to worship

Glen T, heated, not stirred@hellbeast @davidgerard Based on the Australian Tax Office absolutely wetting its pants with glee at the thought of raking in billions in capital gains tax at the mere sniff of Craig Wright being Satoshi, the Real Satoshi should keep a very low profile.
(For the record, not Satoshi)

That sounds suspiciously like something an Australian Satoshi worried about taxes would say!
@hellbeast @davidgerard Don't even joke about this. I built some of the Australian internet, trained as a mathematician, interest in Japan, attended the right conferences. It's like my worst nightmare.
Stephen Foskett@davidgerard his evidence is hilarious. “He used C++ and was interested in distributed systems and PGP!”
Duh I could be Satoshi
ikuturso 🇪🇺@sfoskett yeah lots of filler that makes one doubt the author is familiar with what he's covering. Like bringing up libertarian beliefs, political activity, open source, comments about centralized architectures are all par for the course for anyone in the cypherpunk context. And crypto T-shirts are not some original idea like he presents it since tons of people were doing those back then...
Would be more interesting to see if Satoshi's original code has any resemblance to Back's.
@ikuturso @davidgerard Exactly. I just read the whole thing and it’s laughable. He might be right but this is not the proof he thinks it is.
Michał "rysiek" Woźniak · 🇺🇦@davidgerard on one hand, I hate those "unmask someone who wants to remain masked" things.
On the other, there are valid questions about some engineering decisions related to Bitcoin, there are anomalies in the early mined bitcoins[1], and Satoshi Nakamoto presumably still holds a lot of BTC, enough to make serious movements in the market.
So there is a "with great power there should be some transparency I guess" kind of thing here.

@rysiek on the zeroth hand, the article doesn't show anything solid, because there isn't anything solid
@davidgerard oh no doubt, 💯 right.
I was talking in general terms.
Michael WestergaardCome on, the guy kept saying he wasn't Satoshi. Seems like something Satoshi would say!
kasperd
JP@davidgerard Back sure is in the Epstein files and went to the island though so hopefully this makes that more widely known!
Why is that even still a mystery? Just look at the teeth. It's a dead giveaway: more fangs than man = Satoshi
