This is main bit I'm not buying:

An account of the story published in November 2019 says that one evening, the self-proclaimed Bitcoin inventor says he turned on the Fujitsu laptop that ostensibly contained 980K BTC, and all it would show was a blank screen. He didn’t think it was a hard drive issue so he decided to send the laptop to a repair center to get fixed, and he also left specific instructions that said: “Don’t touch the hard drive.” The repair firm explained to Khalid that the hard drive was the issue and that the hardware was “totally dead.”

1. I'm supposed to believe he had 980K Bitcoin on a harddrive and didn't make a backup? I'm sure there are enough satoshi quotes about making backups?
2. He sent the laptop to a repair shop WITH the hard drive (with 980K BTC)? If he didn't think it was the hard drive, why didn't he remove it? They wouldn't be using it to check his laptop anyyway.
3. Why didn't he use a bootable USB/disc to check the hard drive himself using another laptop? Or try his laptop with a different harddrive? This is the basics of problem solving tech problems.

I'm basically supposed to believe that Satoshi was a tech noob who didn't know how to identify whether his disc was broken, or his laptop

[...]Between $35K and $40K things could really get interesting as sellers would again be trapped under $32K which we've seen twice before in January and Summer of 2021.[...]

Thanks for your analysis. To a non-trader, could you eleborate a bit about sellers trapped under (Adam's magic) $32k?

He published his "reveal" in 2019. Even if the laptop died in 2015 or 2016, everyone who used bitcoin knew about cold storage and backups and private keys and all of that. That guy mentioned could not possibly be Satoshi. And whatever the book says, if it's another person, then, well, we won't know about it until someone mentions who that is, but it is also unlikely that anyone else would be Satoshi.

There are some very simple ways to self-identify or prove you are Satoshi, yet no one has been able to do it. Sign a message using the PGP key that was published before. Sign a message using any or at least some (maybe 3 or 4) bitcoin addresses ... or do all of them if you really want the world to believe you.

And for the traders or watchers, here's what I see:

 Allegedly, Khalid’s computer was a Fujitsu laptop that had “military-grade encryption.”

Red flag #1.

Satoshi would never say "Military grade encryption".

I am sure that's the only red flag though...

I watched this clown from day one of his appearance, and also the "interview" that was recorded shortly after.
While i could not rule out a possible Satoshi (nor an imposter) by the info on the coming-out (#nohomo) website, this "Satoshi applicant" was showing many mimic tells of lying,  throughout the interview. This is 99,9% NOT Satoshi Nakamoto. Also, he was advertising his "new platform", a network (a shitcoin) that should supersede Bitcoin, be super fair and give late adopters a second chance of getting in early. I didn't investigate this further.

EDIT: Probably he was also behind the production of this book. You never know. If he comes out as the "most likely Satoshi", i would even more think so...

EDIT2: Old McAfeee (RIP) once tweeted he identified Satoshi by mainly analyzing his writings, phoned him up, told him that he knew he is the one. His reply was like "Yeah, got me. But don't tell anyone, because you don't want to see me dead, will you?". A british man, by the way.

Still range bound between $29,000 & $32,000. Meh, still feels a lot better than $7,600 which is what we were at on 6th June in 2018. If it follows the same path we should bottom at approx $21,000 early in 2023 & then go sideways for a significant period around $25,000 before a slow climb upwards as we enter 2024 which is halvening year. Absolute moon in 2025, something like $250,000.

I still advocate that everything under $30,000 will look like a genius buy within 2 years. Keep stacking those sats, boys.

This is not financial advice.

"Military grade" ..

Made me think of that guy that said his dad explaining to him that "military grade" actually means the cheapest contractor bid winning the contract.

Quick question:  Did the latest in the long line of Satoshi imposters start by producing a digital signature from a known Satoshi key?  Or did he construct some tall tale that conveniently excludes all possibility of him ever producing such a signature?

Use digital signatures.  Love them.  They work every day.

Is Bitcoin Dot Com still owned by Roger Ver a.k.a. MemoryDealers, who has a long record of abusing the Bitcoin-Dot-Com domain for fake news to promote anti-Bitcoin scams?

(I dunno.  Haven’t been paying attention to the news.  Not paying attention to this, either, because it’s not worth my time:  Not the Bitcoin Dot Com page, not the Amazon page, certainly not the book which costs $$$.)

So?  My dog could publish a book on Amazon claiming to be Satoshi.  It would probably be more interesting than this one.  And my dog would much more deserve all the clicks and the money.  Because it would obviously be a joke:  People would just laugh and say, “LOL, you’re a dog!”

Plot twist:  Bitcoin was invented by a dog.  That’s why we don’t need Dogecoin:  Bitcoin is the real Dogecoin!  Such wow. 🐶 🚀 🐕

Allegedly, Khalid’s computer was a Fujitsu laptop that had “military-grade encryption.”

Damn straight.  Satoshi would use Spinal Tap Grade Encryption.

If you wonder why bitcoin is going up, it's because it's Swedens national day today, and bitcoin loves Sweden (and hates Russia, as do every normal person in the world).
Go Sweden!

I was going to post a Swedish flag here, but imgBB seems to be out of order so I'll just post my crest instead (one of the few pictures i could acces), so, go me I guess.
