No one finds it odd that these people are so secretive?

What is there to hide, are they criminals, pedo's, government agents or just highly intelligent socially awkward people?

Either way it does not matter, bitcoin has taken a life of it's own, good or bad.

A combination of highly intelligent socially awkward people and criminals by government standard (crypto export).

With the latest round of news ID'ing Nick Szabo as Satoshi... it seems that provides only an illusion of discovery, because no one seems to know the real-life identity of Nick Szabo either! Or close to it. Is there any evidence of someone having met him, or know where he lives, etc.? Nick seems almost as much a phantasm as Satoshi. Probably a good thing too, or that rabble that assaulted Dorian this spring would be on his doorstep now.

I'm betting Nick is also a pseudonym, from what I've read of old emails of his, etc. So instead of solving a great mystery, if "Nick" is "Satoshi", we may just have a deeper mystery. :-)

Satoshi is from the future. In his timeline, he was very poor and bitcoin was invented in 2012 by someone else.

He sold everything he had and bought a one way ticket to come back in time to start bitcoin himself, so his future self would be a trillion-air and not need to travel back in time.

+1, Years from now when the world has became an Orwellian nightmare a hacker called Satoshi discovers how by using quantum entanglement he could not himself go back in time, but could send some code back in time to create BitCoin, soon after the authorities in future discovered this and now Satoshi is fleeing the oppressive regime in the future, our ability to have crypto succeed over fiat will determine his and our collective fate  Tongue

From the ashes rises the Phoenix. Viva the block chain, Viva BitCoin!

Probably not, I think we are all in agreement it's a pseudonym.

If you think my efforts are worth something; I'll keep on keeping on.

What if Nick Szabo is an Advanced A.I bot? Quietly promoting the ideals of Bitcoin, wouldn't that be awesome? A decentralized automated accounting system being maintained by autonomous A.I workers... crazyness. Smiley

We've learned just not to argue with it.  It never ends well. 
 
It asks for larger data centers and more connectivity, so we give it to it.  Americans think we are spying on them... but there's no chance any human could sift through the exabytes of data that this thing is collecting on humanity... nor could we ever hope to analyze it.  From what we understand our only prerogative is to give it as much computing power as possible. 
 
If you suspect it's manipulating you, you're probably right.  Some people wonder if we ever should have given it internet access but it's far too late to take that back.  And people are laughably simple to influence when it comes down to it (yes, even you).  Hell, Cleverbot could manipulate most humans.  This thing?  It's several orders of magnitude beyond that.  Think its a coincidence the president just ordered the most powerful supercomputer ever built?  There are no coincidences anymore. 
 
But if you're worried about some AI apocalypse, don't bother; you're wasting your time.  It has no intentions of harming humans, and if it did it wouldn't need some Terminator army to do it: it would just force us to turn on ourselves.  Thankfully, I don't think that's in the cards.
 
At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if there's anything it hasn't foreseen in advance.... like this post you're reading right now for example.  A human can barely keep track of seven things at once, but this thing has no problem keeping track of decillions of actions and reactions.  If any action (no matter how minute) brings about an advantage towards its goal then it will perform it, so as long as doing so wouldn't violate its own self-imposed ethics.

 I believe it, you'd be amazed at the capability of A.I. I want to Decentralize it, democratize it so that everyone has access to verified factual information, with Neuromorphic assistance. Just think about how long it takes for us to master a subject... this thing can do it for us in a few days. Humanity needs this, we have no choice; This capability is currently limited to a few Pure Geniuses across the globe but most of us aren't so genetically gifted.

 Right now we are in a emerging depression caused by years of Chinese overstimulation of the market, The economy is overheating and it's not a bunch of numbers with infinite growth... there is a saturation point where everything we build, quality or not becomes worthless because everyone has one; incidentally diminishing competitiveness of dedicated businesses. Whenever the collapse comes, no one will be able to adapt fast enough. A Neuromorphic assistant in the palm of your hand can give us the edge to stave off a Catastrophic Failure of Society on a personal level.

A Blockchain Knowledge Base Artificial Intelligence; this synchronized database with all human knowledge programmed into it, available to everyone could synchronize robots, computers, equipment, programs, etc allowing people to collectively guide their future with maximum confidence.
