Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto residing just two blocks from Hal Finney meets highly unlikely odds. Yet his name (Satoshi Nakamoto) was pre-picked.
In 2008 and still today, Japanese engineering in the popular mind has great respect. Perhaps in coding, not as much so, but even if that
circumstance holds, it is not in the popular mind. So the coder snatched Finney's neighbor's name. Clever, with the mysterious Orient element.
Nick Szabo had conceived many or most elements of it, without solving the doublespend issue...nad maybe some other vital 'unsolves'.
He advertised for a coder to come forward, and one did. Szabo, from accounts, either doesn't code C++ particularly well or at all.
Szabo's initials-- 'NS' would be how a Japanese would write his name...this has been oft mentioned, i.e. 'Nakamoto Satoshi', 'NS'-- another cute
wrinkle..
Then Satoshi glaringly leaves Nick's seminal work out in his treatise crediting bibliography.
Is the 'real' Satoshi Nick Szabo or his coder? (Wozniak to Jobs?). After all, the coder made it happen and perfected it. Neither one seems to have
done it for much money-- not billions, anyway. A lot, but not billions maybe. Unless their coins and the private key is extant.
If it is true, as someone claiming to be Satoshi emailed to Martti Malmi, that he (Satoshi) no longer had the private key-- if Satoshi has destroyed
it and all copies in a fit of dyspeptic passion, as it were, from reasonable loathing of persecution by govt or abject fear from kidnapping, theft,
harm to himself or even temptation to flood the market, and maybe inadvertently outing himself-- well, Satoshi would have retained plausible
deniability, at least in his own private considerations of what possibilities might
happen in future.
Under the historic circumstances, that is thin veneer. Could Gutenberg have remained anonymous?
During the time Hal Finney was expiring from Lou Gehrig's Disease, his family requested donations of Bitcoin to help pay his medical
expenses. One could claim that as a ruse so that his family would not be hassled or in danger after his passing, but it seems a stretch to me.
Szabo surely has very many coins, as would anyone who mined them at 50 per ten minutes (for the blocks they won) in 2009. I think Szabo and
JAB likely snagged Nakamoto's name and address from public records. Finney might have helped in that regard, but not so majorly otherwise.
As the very definition of Bitcoin is early peer to peer privacy (quite faulty but a portentous start) Szabo and his coder won't be fessin' up. Why
would they? They, as most of us, are true believers. They want to upheave the system and have succeeded.
When the total market was $800 billion and BTC was around 55% of it, they'd created almost three times the wealth of Bezos' $155 billion, while
retaining, in Szabo's case, relative anonymity and in JAB the coder's case (if indeed he be) near total anonymity except from maybe a very few
who knew him and might put it together. But who would believe anyone without hard proof in the Fake News Idiocracy? Almost no one at best.
By spending frugally they allay suspicions.

The proof of work required for bitcoin is amenable to mass production of specialized “mining” hardware. This is the kind of thing that governments and other large institutions can manufacture as a military armament.
A better proof of work would require CPU computation and substantial RAM — which means people can use their personal computers to compete with the bureaucracies.

i think you need to check the figures the current banking systems consumes about thousands of times more power than bitcoin does right now the usa uses more on christmas lights

A very interesting set of transactions happened just a couple of days ago. Someone has moved chunks of 25,000 coins into bech32 addresses. What's really weird is that he has moved it into an huge list of different addresses:

Anyhow, it could be said that whales trust segwit, or at least some whales do.
Re the last links, I'd say that them coins belong to Bitfinex cuz I can easily connect them addys to
as Burt comments about below (see OP of thread quoted) ... (took me less than two minutes, then found said thread)
