at least they're not still harassing Dorian Nakamoto

@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

@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.

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.
