this 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

@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.

Come on, the guy kept saying he wasn't Satoshi. Seems like something Satoshi would say!
I know another British guy who has also said he isn’t Satoshi.
