The creator is probably a member of this forum.
1. He is known to use forums
2. This is one of the largest bitcoin forums
If so, he would probably look at all of the threads posted about his identity.
He would probably do the following: 1. Use a new identity frequently 2. State the obvious to throw folks off the scent  |

I'm inclined to lean toward the following reason: http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/11/mf_bitcoin/When they weren’t busy mining, the faithful tried to solve the mystery of the man they called simply Satoshi. On a bitcoin IRC channel, someone noted portentously that in Japanese Satoshi means “wise.” Someone else wondered whether the name might be a sly portmanteau of four tech companies: SAmsung, TOSHIba, NAKAmichi, and MOTOrola. It seemed doubtful that Nakamoto was even Japanese. His English had the flawless, idiomatic ring of a native speaker. And here I thought it was Nakatomi https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=58770.msg748272#msg748272 |

That's twice you referred to Satoshi Nakamoto as SM[sic]. Do yo know something we don't? And don't cop out with, "Oops! I hit the wrong key because M is next to N." either unless, of course, it's the truth.
IDK, it could be because I often send money to be picked up at SM malls in the Philippines, it could be because it is a type, or it could mean I need to get laid. |

I wonder what America will have first, the metric system, high speed trains, a manned rocket space program, a tall skyscraper, or an economy that is built on industry rather than gambling? Because I know for sure we'll never have a NHS.

Go Obama. A single payer system will be best in my book. You do realize you are posting in a bitcoin forum where if the currency promoted here becomes dominate, taxes will be voluntary. I certainly won't be paying for other people's healthcare. Don't be surprised when there's no one left to pay the bill. I almost agree, you shouldn't have to pay for my healthcare and I shoud not have to pay for the police to protect you from the guys that visit you in the night to steal your wife for ransom. You obviously have no idea how insurance works, which we will use as an analogy to discuss the statement you just made. Insurance (we're not talking about taxes here) is not designed such that the premiums you pay over time will even out and roughly cover the claims you have. That's not how insurance was designed, and that's now how insurance works. Here's how it works: insurance is designed such that the total premiums collected allow the insurance company to cover all claims and still turn a profit. The key point here, and the one you're missing, is from the perspective of the customer, insurance allows a premium to be paid so that if you have bad luck, you'll be covered for expenses which far exceed the premiums you pay in. Those expenses will ultimately be derived from the premiums paid by those who end up having good luck over the course of their lives. Do you see how this contradicts your ideas on police? My suggestion: understand such things before you make claims about how healthcare and police expenses are dealt with whether it is in the form of a tax or an insurance premium. Because your post indicates a general lack of understanding on these things. No. A for profit insurance corporation (as any such corporation) sole duty is to make profit for the shareholders and nothing else. Period. Covering claims is something they try to avoid as much as possible or they are in violation of their shareholders trust. Try to learn something about corporations before posting this nonsense. |

I don't think markets singularly add value to BTC. It is the overall acceptance of its usefulness that will drive Bitcoin price. Primarily, it will be as a savings vehicle that will cause people to hoard it and drive up the value. Markets will open to BTC as the only way for people to get their greedy little hands on them.

I think Bitcoin is almost big enough that SM can soon come out in the open and not fear reprisal. Any publicity gained from attacking [him] as they did Assange would gain more publicity for Bitcoin and would help legitimize it. There is nothing illegal about Bitcoin and any fear shown toward SM would show the strength of Bitcoin. It probably won't be long before we know the face behind Bitcoin.

No. Doctors make their medical decisions based on how much money they can squeeze out of the insurance, not the health of the human. Which won't change under Obamacare. That's right. But it will force insurance companies to be more competitive. Forcing people to buy car insurance, health insurance, or anything for that matter is unethical unless it is all run as non-profit. |

Go Obama. A single payer system will be best in my book. Less doctors on yachts, more doctors that want to help people. The rich doctors can go be bankers if they want to get rich.
Less doctors on yachts, yes. Less competent doctors, overall. There is a reason that one quarter of the general practicioners that I've seen in my adult life have accents, and it's not because their nation of origin was big on paying for their education. The reason is that we pay more than hospitals in Kenya and India. An interesting thing is that they get their medical qualifications for roughly £40 per year. Yes - that's about fifty dollars per year. Then they came come to the UK where they would not get out of bed for less than £100,000 per year. http://www.globalmedicine.nl/index.php/studying-medicine-in/124-indiaThe miracle is that any doctors remain in the poor paying countries. Its also a miracle that we pay so much more for medical education in the West. No. Doctors make their medical decisions based on how much money they can squeeze out of the insurance, not the health of the human. |

Are you launching Bitcoin.com like TradeHill was going to?
"was going to", sad  No, and i'm now going to follow a policy of neither confirming or denying while everyone theorises Sad indeed. I don't really get all the secrecy. Some people will announce things months ahead and hype continuously. Throw us a bone or at least let us play twenty questions. |

The key to understand here is that fractional reserve banking can also be used for Bitcoin. I agree with the M1 analysis because Bitcoins themselves will likely replace cash or a chequing account but derivatives no way. We would have derivatives based on Bitcoin and the resulting Bitcoin money supply (M2, M3 etc) would be be much greater than 21,000,000 BTC.
I believe that derivatives based on bitcoin will draw more money into bitcoin than even if all the checking accounts and cash in the world moved into bitcoin. It can't be proven though until someone tries it  If you are able to leverage a multi-sig escrow against an Open Transaction, you should have very secure and transparent assets. I'm not sure how to make them fungible unless they use timed transactions that are then re-scripted at maturity and possibly sold. |
