Is Satoshi "kidnapping" great minds, or is that the next step?

Yeah, on the subway, in the Starbucks line, and around the water cooler, everyone's saying "who is Satoshi?" just as casually as they used to say "but whatcha gonna do bout it."

John Galt would without a doubt be a bitcoin holder if Atlas Shrugged was updated and modernized.

No! He would be a miner, the most successful one, because he would have free unlimited energy...

"Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?" T-shirts would be a fun idea!  If someone asked what it means, I'd pretend I bought the T-shirt cuz it was only 5 bucks.

The biggest problem I've always had is that the solution Ayn Rand proposed was an impossible fantasy. And while the hardcore fans will talk about how it's all symbolic, many of the problems and government actions taken in the book have indeed happened in real life.

Bitcoin is a real way to "opt-out" and undermine the power and control of oppressive government. It's a lot more convenient than flying to a hidden valley in the mountains that uses alien force fields and Telsa power generators, too.

It's a shame she didn't see live to see it.

I was actually wondering earlier today when we might start seeing "I'm not Satoshi Nakamoto" shirts.

Sam Spade: We were talking about a lot more money than this.
Kasper Gutman: Yes, sir, we were, but this is genuine coin of the realm. With a dollar of this, you can buy ten dollars of talk.

From the topics of most Satoshi threads, I always assumed Satoshi was inspired by Spartacus.
