Nah, he was speaking in very general terms about some way to send money, quickly, easily and anonymously to content creators. That's not far off from what he's been evangelizing for decades, so I see no significance in his mentioning it at any particular time in 2009.

Im watching the video. I'm intrigued. You could be correct. He fits the profile in many ways. I wonder what he knows about cryptography. "As the hacker culture at the MIT laboratory declined with the instatement of password restrictions, Stallman decided to quit his full time job in 1984 to pursue his side project, Project GNU. In 1985, he published the GNU Manifesto, which articulated his motivations for creating a free operating system compatible with UNIX. Soon after, he founded the Free Software Foundation and popularized the concept of copyleft. In 1989, Stallman also released the first program-independent license called the GNU General Public License. By this time, most elements of the GNU undertaking were complete. However, the project was stuck on the advancement of the operating kernel. Simultaneously, a Finnish developer, Linus Torvalds, created a kernel called Linux based off of GNU development tools. With the integration of Linux into the project, the GNU/Linux operating system was born. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/1114568" Wiki Stallman pioneered the concept of copyleft, and he is the main author of several copyleft licenses including the GNU General Public License, the most widely used free software license.[5] Since the mid-1990s, Stallman has spent most of his time advocating for free software, as well as campaigning against software patents, digital rights management, and what he sees as excessive extension of copyright laws. Stallman has also developed a number of pieces of widely used software, including the original Emacs,[6] the GNU Compiler Collection,[7] the GNU Debugger,[8] and various tools in the GNU coreutils.[9] He co-founded the League for Programming Freedom in 1989. |

Stallman is the last person who'd hide behind a pseudonym. If he believed in it, he'd gladly put his name on it, and deal with the courts if necessary.

Actually, one of the SolidCoin people has apparently been claiming that Satoshi has dumped his bitcoins and invested in SolidCoins instead. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=42069.msg512976#msg512976 |

Not only that, but he almost certainly would have put it under the GPL license (bitcoin is under the MIT license). |

"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."

Has RMS made any public comments about Bitcoin? In light of his past commentaries, he should have something notable to say about Bitcoin. If his public mentions of such cryptocurrency ideas cease after Bitcoin's metoric rise around October 2010, about the same time that Satoshi disappeared, this might be a significant link. |
