dear OP;
i find your chain of reasoning has at least as much validity as your command of fact.
i also note that John Hancock did not sign the U.S. Constitution.

We should have a poll! Gavin would probably win and now that I think of it, the Gavin-is-Satoshi-theory was never conclusively disproved...  Below, copied and pasted from a previous post of mine: I believe it would be relatively simple for any one here to figure out who Satoshi Nakamoto if they took a little time to do this: http://www.lexifab.com/2010/07/stylometry/Excerpt from site above: Stylometry is a set of techniques used to identify the author of a work. It can be applied to fine arts and music, but in linguistics, stylometry is utilized to identify anonymous authors and determine forgeries. I think there's a enough written by Satoshi Nakamoto to compare his/hers writing style to the writing style of any other person's style you care to compare. Maybe someone would like to start a tread on Stylometry to get the ball rolling. I believe that within 24 hours we'll have a match with over 95% certainty. |

I was actually on that link the other day, and was already on top of this with some other theories I had. Turns out, and I am 88% certain, that theymos has a second user name on this board. I don't want to give up whose name it is though, but it rhymes with Batman. If you change Batman's name to Batlas that is.  |

I believe that within 24 hours we'll have a match with over 95% certainty. i'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that whoever satoshi might be he is certainly aware of such software as Signature, and would probably alter his writing to avoid a match. assuming he is still here in any capacity other than that of an interested lurker - which i find doubtful. in any case, a project like that is not one i would pursue or participate in. he clearly does not want any involvement right now - and clearly has always wished to remain anonymous. i do need to look at myself in the mirror every morning... |

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

Did anyone already invent a theory that Satoshi is a timetraveller from future, who decided to bring us a future technology? So that mankind on earth progresses better and gets to a new level of development.  |

We're all Satoshi. Satoshi lives in every one of us, he's in each of our BTC, and our transactions... Sorry, I got a bit emotional there.  |

This is pretty much what I was going to say. Satoshi is in all of us. He is inside me. He is inside you. As soon as you first saw bitcoin, you had a little piece of satoshi thrust inside you. "There's no use disbelieving. There's no use struggling. This is a good thing.", satoshi whispers in your ear. |
GOOOOOOOOOOO BITCOINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Edit: Oops. Just fixed a typo. It should be GO (like GO TEAM!) and not GOOB
Edit2: Just checked the dictionary and goob is not a word

Please don't take it the wrong way. Bitcoin has always just been an experiment and I am currently working on perfecting the idea for another similar project. I can't release any details about this because of the amount of money people have already invested in the current Bitcoin network.
cool story bro |

So what is the Bitcoin equivalent to the gaming blog Kotaku? I believe a Bitcoin tabloid should be up with the top story that Satoshi returned and posted |

Reminded me of the following quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuttle_(M*A*S*H) Hawkeye: We can all be comforted by the fact that he's not really gone, that there's a little Tuttle left in all of us. In fact, you might say that all of us together made up Tuttle. |

What if gavin is satoshi?
What if atlas is satoshi?
What if jessy is satoshi?
What if dsp is satoshi?
I think satoshi is *all* of these, and kiba, theymos, grondilu, and loads of others. He's good at having multiple online personalities but he's good at it IRL too. Ha ha ha, you fools all think there are lots of people working for bitcoin, but really it's only one. I'm just waiting for that little slip-up, when he signs a post the wrong way, or one persona contradicts its own argument... waiting... and watching... and listening... then I'll do something cunning and sneaky, and profit |

How do you get all of your text to move backwords so your username ihsotaS looks like Satoshi?
Not sure, but you can do this with unicode: ıɥsoʇɐS |

If you see my post then this isn't true. I just logged in directly through Tor and I'm about to hit Post. |
