As it turns out, Craig Wright actually is Satoshi!

[Daedra]

I'm pretty sorry rawdog  , but everybody who thinks Craig is Satoshi is retard.

[deadsilent]

And im not believing this shit anymore. Wheres the evidence that Craig Wright is the real Satoshi Nakamoto? Anyone can claim he is Satoshi Nakamoto. Satoshi Nakamoto will not reveal himself. I've read many of this kind of news. And all of it is just rumors. Also i never agree bitcoin is just created by a single person only. They should be a group.

[Daedra]

In this thread, large block maniacs show that their judgement is equally poor in other domains.

yep rational people want dynamic blocks of lean tx's starting at 2mb block buffer limit..

large block maniacs want 4mb weight.

you can spot a maniac when they cant even tell you that 4 is bigger than 2..so will refuse to admit they are the large block maniacs,

if you cant admit that 4 is bigger then 2 and always try to make it sound like 2 is bigger than 4.. then no one should take any notice of other word twisting crap thats said

Stop that whining. Gmaxwell hit the point

I doubt it was group, how could group maintain long term conspiracy and refrain from spending  bitcoins

May be craig have paid some bucks to coindesk for this rumor. No any source is mentioned on the article, so i will consider this as another attempt to create fud and panic in the market. Nobody gonna believe him as satoshi

I believed that I could do this. I believed that I could put the years of anonymity and hiding behind me. But, as the events of this week unfolded and I prepared to publish the proof of access to the earliest keys, I broke. I do not have the courage. I cannot

He cannot because he don't have access to those earliest key.

not whining. he did hit the point. he just didnt realise he was slapping his own face.
2 vs 4
gmaxwll is 4 lover and a 2 hater

[ASHLIUSZ]

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

All right, bring it on. Until then, nice attempt from Coindesk to have a few more clicks on their website.

Due to several issues coindesk lost its hard gained reputation. Now it could have made plans to regain the same traffic to the website through such statements. This might grab the attention of most users as it is a sensitive information.

[gmaxwell]

franky1 is now also an enemy of fungiblity and not just decentralization? color me surprised.

FWIW, rumor I'm hearing is that Wright is going to be the marketing face for some a new altcoin.   If anyone is selling futures on it, I'm interested in shorting it.

How are your attempts at destroying BTC using LN going?    

LOL, you do know that BTC is Centralized to the Chinese Mining Pools, they are the ones blocking segwit.  
So the battle to be Decentralized has been lost for over a year.


 

FYI:
By the Way , Franky1 is Correct and Gmaxwell is incorrect.
4 is more than 2.  

[maxxdxx]

I don't care who the Sathoshi actually is. I only care about his amazing work. We should really thankful to him about the work. If he needs to be anonymous, let him be. It is his right.

[pooya87]

Craig Wright makes me real mad. he is a filthy liar. and the worst part of it is that proving your identity in bitcoin is very easy. it is in fact too easy it makes me laugh when he is refusing to provide any proof, and the only reason for that is because he can not provide any proof.

he tried different manipulation techniques, asked many bitcoin developers to confirm him and they all denied except one!

and this is celebration day for all this shitty news sites to use this click bait to generate more traffic they could imagine.

[Kakmakr]

The challenge from the community to Craig Wright is still out there. Move 1 bitcoin from the known Satoshi stash and we will accept you with open arms. He has not done this, so in my opinion he is still a fraudster. ^smile^
I should have thought people would have left this alone now, but it seems as though this fight is far from being over.

Gavin really whacked his reputation with a fish with this guy. ^LoL^

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.

well you are either an enemy of scaling or decentralization, if no solution will ever come bitcoin will lose one of those aspect

while decentralization is the point of bitcoin, without scaling bitcoin will remain a niche market and thus centralized...oh the irony...

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

So did rawdog and everyone who supports that bunch of swindlers with BU

[AGD]

Craig is NOT Satoshi, because he failed to present even the easiest kind of proof, that he controls any of Satoshis known Bitcoins PLUS he wasn't able to sign with Satoshis GPG key either.

Edit: I don't believe this "Gavin has been bamboozled" story AT ALL.

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.

Care to elaborate? Or just confused about what decentralization is about?

I would say he was close enough to Satoshi to be able to say certain stories. But he doesn't have the private key of the wallets.
Last time I've read that he was in quite a debt, so becoming Satoshi will bring him media coverage, attention, money...
