From wikipedia:

"National Report is a fake news website which posts fictional articles related to world events.

Paul Horner is the lead writer for the website, using the pseudonym Darius Rubics. Horner uses his own name as a recurring character in all of his stories, including the actor behind "Fappy the Anti-Masturbation Dolphin", a character created by Horner that is used as a running gag in many of his stories."



Notice in the article, Satoshi Nakamoto's real name is claimed to be "Paul Horner", and that he was teaching an anti-masturbation seminar. Haha

Every week or so people claim to have SN identity revealed.

At least this time it was fun.

another great comedy event for the night.

i cant wait to see if national media accidentally try picking up the story and then have to re-cant their reports once they realise its a satire site..
i have seen it a few times ow when national media jump on the band wagon of fake news sites and blogs before researching.

this is so funny i dont actually mind it being soo fake

If satire websites are writing about Bitcoin, its awareness is indeed increasing.
Good news!  :)
