Ironic:  Your signature line says:  "the gospel according to Satoshi," but then you show your faithlessness by demanding extraordinary proof.  I think you guys are gonna get more proof than you can bear soon.  Don't forget how badly you begged for it.  

OP should add this thread cause it may answer your question in the next few weeks.

According to Wright, all those Bitcoins were put in a trust and he couldn't get to them for some time - which was part of some agreement.  It's been a while but I believe he was trying to find a way to get them back early.  My gut feeling is that he's gonna need them if he has any big plans for an alt-coin which means he probably found a way.  With enough money and connections any contract can be broken.  

It's best to be prepared by assuming a worst case scenario.

Oh, if Wright is Satoshi and he moves to an alt then the sleeping masses are gonna catch on in the next few weeks. 

Proving Wright is Satoshi wouldn't end by rift as both sides of the civil war are entrenched, well backed and determined.  What it would give them is leverage and a justifiable reason to successfully split Bitcoin which will only lead to a bigger war.

You have to ask if committing career suicide is worth that cause without a doubt if they knew Wright didn't have proof they would be found out.

As for how smart Gavin and Matonis are - all the real world evidence, before this ordeal, supports high intelligence and a well developed sense of discernment. 

Everyone here is assuming the improbable to be true which is senseless and financially dangerous if you hold Bitcoin.

You guys are all going around in circles refusing to think for yourselves.  

Look at the big picture of what's happening with Bitcoin and Wright.  Assume Wright will get his 400 patents.  With that in mind the intelligent move is to assume he is Satoshi which will only add to his influence over Bitcoin and the blockchain.

Once you use that premise then you can try to figure out which side of the big block civil war Wright is gonna fall on.

Cause if he is Satoshi and he holds 1+ million BTC and he decides to move to an alt then all you guys will wake up to a 90%+ drop in Bitcoin's price and then you're gonna act all surprised and broken hearted.

Aren't you all tired of being behind the curve?  Then stop following each other and try to think about what's coming next instead of gossiping about the past and letting your personal feelings get in the way.

But that doesn't explain how he fooled Matonis and Gavin.  Do you really think it would be so simple to do given their reputations and the gravity of the matter?  Again, it's highly improbable.

And there were other very reputable individuals who came out and said they met Wright as Satoshi years earlier.

Simply too much to dismiss. 

Yeah, Gavin and Matonis, and other incredibly smart people all got fooled by Wright.

And that's why Wright repeatedly keeps coming back into mainstrea media after so long.

Forget logic and deductive reasoning, instinct alone should tell you there's something more to this than meets the eye.

I hope Trump is as resilient as Jackson.

In addition to injuries sustained in duels and the bullet lodged in his lungs, by the time Jackson became president he had already gotten smallpox, osteomyelitis, malaria, dysentery, rheumatism, dropsy, "cholera morbus" (widespread intestinal inflammation), amyloidosis (a waxy degeneration of body tissues) and bronchiectasis (inflamed and dilated bronchial tubes), among other diseases. As a historian told TIME in 1949, “No structure ever endured under greater handicaps than the frame that supported the brain of the astonishing, the determined, the invincible gentleman from Tennessee."

Not to mention he also survived assasination attempts - albeit, by fate.

This might be just a coincidence but president Trump just hung a portrait of Andrew Jackson in the Oval Office.  Out of all the presidents he chose the one that went to war with the banks and won.  This supports my theory that Trump is gonna bypass the Fed and go crypto. 

A settlement layer - slash - a store of value with an ETF license for tens of trillions of dollars is quite the niche market.

G to the Max, are you serious about this?  I don't care what anyone says about Wright, I'd take a risk on any coin he backs.  Seeing how Ver is about to split BTC wouldn't surprise me if Wright and Gavin move to the new alt called Bitcoin Unlimted.  The sky should be falling that fine day in Cryptoworld.

Dude, you just vomited all over my favorite fun thread. 

That is a weak argument given the intellectual caliber of the people he "conned".

The probability is quite high that he is Satoshi but the surprise unknown coder may shock people even more.  I hope so.  

Where in that video do you Szabo introducing Wright or having any relation to Wright?

And in your second video if you pay attention Wright talks about how one will be able to use things like apps to enhance privacy.  That's as good as you're gonna get in the world of blockchains - sorry if you actually drank the Roger Ver happy juice.

[Coindesk] - Bitcoin is Abuzz With New Satoshi Nakamoto Rumors
Pete Rizzo (@pete_rizzo_) | Published on January 26, 2017 at 15:40 GMT NEWS

If the gossip at a recent invite-only bitcoin conference is any indication, news may be forthcoming in the long-simmering Satoshi Nakamoto saga.

On the sidelines of the two-day Satoshi Roundtable conference in Cancun, rumors were swirling that new developments in the 'Who is Satoshi?' story once again relate to the controversial Australian academic and entrepreneur Craig Wright, who last May claimed that he – and as many as four others – contributed to the white paper credited to bitcoin's pseudonymous inventor.

This time, however, there is said to be a potential twist to the story relating to an unknown entity that may have a claim to the intellectual property created by that group.

Major news outlets are once again said to be conducting an investigation into the story, with releases coming out as early as next month.

I told you muppets last year that Wright was the guy.  You sad mortal worshippers nearly killed your own messiah.  How predictable.  Hope you guys are ready for an all out war cause I've always felt he was getting prepared to bring it. 

Bring it to me, Satoshi!!!

So you work at a Sandwich shop?  haha, I've had worse, much worse jobs but I'm laughing cause I can see you like that soup Nazi guy, angry while making a meatball sandwich and cursing at scammers on the internets.  I'd like a short video of that.  lol

As for the Fodor guy, I can't keep up with all these scammers.  I'd like to know if Vern dumped all the IXC he stole. 

I'm always in need of a good laugh.  Had no idea you were terrorizing that Fedor guy for that long, or that you put your account on the line for it.  That's resolve. 

What is Qtum?  I didn't know Xi also meant joy. 

And why did the Chinese get to make up whatever names they wanted?  Star Xu?  Samson.  Another guy I saw was named Han Solo or something.  How is that fair for the rest of us?  I'm stuck with the name of a serial killer with an affinity for impaling Muslims en masse.  lol

But for real, China pretty much owns Bitcoin.  Besides the coders they can do whatever they please with Bitcoin including 51-ing it. 

The rest of us need to build out some 200+MW hyper farms to even things out.  Throw a billion my way and I'll make it happen, and I'll even 51 the entire place just to make a statement.   

Thanks, should be an interesting week for Bitcoin.
