Unless Craig has a split personality, his writing style already gives him away:

I still remember when LTC was the 1% of btc price

ie:

BTC $600    LTC $6

BTC $384    LTC $3.8

Now :

BTC $445    LTC $3.7

Well, the litecointalk forums got hacked. So ... that did a lot of damage to the coins value. It should not have. I didn't even notice until yesterday.

Last months pump had to end in one way or another. Was there any delicate information or coins stolen?

I didn't keep up with all of the drama, but did we dump from $450 to $436 on the news that Satoshi was found? Or did that happen before the "news"

A new post of Mr. Wright: http://www.drcraigwright.net/extraordinary-claims-require-extraordinary-proof/

[yefi]

Craig Wright says he will move a coin from an early block in the next few days. The BBC says "that should convince many of the doubters". I say he should sign a message with both his PGP key and a Satoshi Bitcoin, and move some early coins (to my Bitcoin address). That would convince me.

You can give my senior butt 1 shiny bitcoin if he does it, but I'm too poor to return the favour if he doesn't.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-36193006

The man who has identified himself as the creator of Bitcoin plans to provide further proof to his claim.

Craig Wright's spokesman told the BBC that he would "move a coin from an early block" belonging to the crypto-currency's inventor "in the coming days".

*snip*

This morning, I have managed to reach Jon Matonis, who is at a cryptocurrency event in Kenya. He remains absolutely convinced by Craig Wright but agrees that the blog hasn't helped his case.

"It needs to be amended because it's not conclusive for the general public. But that does not take away from what I saw in private," he explained.

As far as I can see it, if Dr Wright can move one of Satoshi's bitcoins - as promised - that should convince many of the doubters.

It would constitute proof that he is who he says he is - although one suspects that even then some will never believe his story.

Yeah, what's the likelihood that he moves some early coins not mined definitively by Satoshi? And didn't he state previously that he couldn't move any coins because he had them tied up till 2020 in his trust fund? But I guess the two previous fraudulent proofs were mere accident, and this time we'll see genuine evidence. I can also sell anyone who believes this a perpetual-motion machine.

^^Do you hate Dr. Wright more for having a doctorate, or because he's Australian and invented bitcoins?
*Or is t just jealousy? Can't stand to see another fellow win?

This is Bitcoin level serious, yo.

Dig those walls on stamp   452 moonshot incoming?

Even though you seem to be talking a kind of bear troll play book, don't you understand that frequently walls can serve as a sort of reverse indicator. 

Anyhow, whether we are going up or down is not clearly indicated by a 500 coin wall (at $452) nor the combination of a 200 coin wall at $451.42 and that already mentioned 500 coin wall (at $452).

It does show, however, that one or more people do appear to have 700 coins, and it will be interesting to see whether those currently "cheap coins" are pulled or eaten... y0m y0m y0m.

Fun quiz:
Everyone knows the inventor of bitcoins, Dr. Wright.
Do you know who invented the USD?

Fiat is only good for everything besides bitcoin. So fiat doesn't matter.

A new post of Mr. Wright: http://www.drcraigwright.net/extraordinary-claims-require-extraordinary-proof/

That post, along with his BBC interview video, shows Wright to have a very dislikeable and at the same time needy personality. 

He's seemingly self-absorbed, bitter, internally contradictory (continuously publicly proclaiming that he wants privacy). Such a disposition is no way consistent with a person who would have compiled bitcoin's first whitepaper and engaged the more than two year follow-up efforts.

In other words, it makes no sense that he seems to want to go to such efforts to show that he's Satoshi (in spite of his claims that he was supposedly forced into such a position because he is concerned about the privacy of his staff, etc etc).  If you really want privacy, just say you are not Satoshi and you made it all up, and you would be more believable...   This whole thing makes little to no sense, except for the conclusion that he is a fraud because he appears to be trying too hard.

You've obviously not been exposed to his porn collection.

Nice ask wall on Bitfinex, part of a risk reduction strategy. He should spread it though...

[JayJuanGee]

Do you guys recall a few days ago, for about an hour or so, someone on Stamp had put up a 2,000 coin buy wall at $452?

Thereafter, within hours, the price went up from $452.50 to $456 and the $452 wall was not touched, removed and thereafter, for about a day, the price floated in the $454 territory until we got the BBC/Wright/Gavin "news" that dipped us to $438-ish. 

Anyhow, it would be interesting if when we arrive at the 500 sell wall on Stamp at $452 were to be quickly bought by that same whalebuyer..... hahahahahaha   I am fairly confident that the same bullwhale holds most of that 2000 coin equivalent fiat on Stamp (and that fiat was not used up during the most recent price drop)... but yeah, who the fuck knows the thinking of these various whale holders and how they play their various price movement strategies....?  It's a bit out of my league to participate in such personal whale trading experiences at the moment (with my limited number of coins)... but I believe that there could be some very interesting fireworks if such an instant buy card were to be played by that 2,000 coin bullwhale..   There is another 300 coins at $454, but it seems like some of that may just melt away... no?   

Let's get back to upper $460s and see what happens.
