lets have some fun then
Most people can agree that Satoshi:
* is American
* is a skilled programmer
* knows a lot about cryptography and economics
who are these most people and where is the reference?
- who said he is American? (s)he could have been from anywhere!
- yes but also some say he was above average with all mistakes he made which describes a large population.
- yes, so does a lot of others
for all we know Satoshi was a group of people
Guess what, DPR studied economics extensively in college, and we all know DPR can code and have a keen interest in cryptography.
so does many others.
The biggest hint is the perfectly lined up timeline:
The last time Satoshi was involved in Bitcoin was around January 2011, Silkroad launched in February 2011. So if DPR was Satoshi, this would explain why Satoshi suddenly backed off from the Bitcoin development, he was too busy developing and running Silkroad!
or maybe it was because Gavin Andereson went to that 3 letter agency.
Then I digged a little more and found:
DPR
moved 1000 BTC that was mined in January 2009, which can only belong to Satoshi or Hal Finney. We know Hal Finney isn't DPR, so there's only one possibility left.
in order for this to be true, you have to prove that Satoshi and Hal were the ONLY 2 people mining bitcoin and you have no proof of that. there may have been a third person called Ross Ulbricht who found out about bitcoin, started mining it and thought about creating SilkRoad.
also i didn't see any TX ID anywhere! where is the proof? that article says "...scientists found an account..." didn't mention any bitcoin transaction!
Also this would explain why after DPR was arrested, Satoshi's Bitcoins were never sold or moved, Satoshi himself never showed up anywhere. Because DPR lost his freedom and is rotting in a prison cell.
or Satoshi is dead.
or the group decided they should not move those coins ever.
or Satoshi is already rich and satisfied with his life that doesn't need to sell bitcoin for more money.
or Satoshi is waiting for a good price and $3xxx-$4xxx looks stupid to sell.
