Dear Hal,

Thank You for helping me early with the Bitcoin project. We talked ALOT during prelaunch and postlaunch to fix minor bugs with the software. I originally had no idea what we were really getting into to. But you knew, you could tell how powerful Bitcoin was even when I couldn't. You even figured out the fact that I was young even thought I lied and told everyone I was an old man. Hal I decided to hide my real identity because I felt as if the world was not ready. I knew that Bitcoin was a great idea and that if it ever caught wind and everyone started to accept Bitcoin it would become special, and it did thanks to you. The world was not ready to know that Satoshi Nakamoto does not exist in real life and his real identity is a young African American kid from Louisiana. Even now the world refuses to accept the fact that I am Satoshi. And I knew this fact 10 years ago which is the sole reason why I hide myself from the world. Over the years there have been several different people claiming to be me so I understand. I wish you were still here friend, I wish that I at least told you who I really was before I left the community. I wish you were able to see how much our little Bitcoin has grown over the years. Bitcoin is strong Hal, stronger than we could ever imagine. I am sorry that I left you, Gavin, the others and Bitcoin 10 years ago. The CIA coming after us in year 1 was really scary for me so I decided to leave and disappear from the community. Please forgive me for that it was an honest inexperienced mistake. One day, I plan on reaching out to your family and thanking them for raising a good hearted person. Hopefully this post spreads worldwide over the next few years the same way Bitcoin spread through the community.

Please continue to watch over our Bitcoin project and please continue to watch over me as well as I try to convince the world of my identity.
