Nakamoto Found?

[bitcoinsrus]

Could we get this thread deleted.

Why?

Didn't even click the link before posting that. Didn't need to. Having read it now, I second my motion to get rid of this thread.

It doesn't matter if that's the guy. If it isn't, someone is going to get harassed just for having the name he has. If it is, we all owe him. And as for the article itself, he should turn it into a book and sell it. It's certainly long enough and with the right Dan Brown style to make it big. Also invasion of privacy. Something at least some of us are pretty big on, yes?

I only created this thread because the wall thread moves too fast for me is too cliquey.  I only apologize to Bitcoinsrus that I didn't add a poll.

you name droppin' me brah?!
[needs a poll here ]

Aand none of it matters. Still. It still doesn't matter. Sound economies are not going to collapse because of bitcoin, and the ones that would break anyway would... ready for it? break anyway.

Typical fkn ignorant American.

I'm a dane. You typical fucking (<- that would be the word you were looking for) ignorant american.

[biodieselchris]

hahaha this poor guy. Two words: Plausible deniability.

But they are getting closer. They found the guy the real bitcoin founder(s) set up. Now you have to go back through this guy's life and find who he worked with. Good luck.

It's not a social experiment.

It's economic warfare

Yep.

And not against the USD and her allies, but against the upstart nations who are building up their economies and threatening the dollar hegemony, by looking for ways out of it. A liquid BTC market provides moderately wealthy individuals/middle classes with a 'I'm alright Jack' way of getting their funds out of a crisis hit economy, which in turn throws the economy into yet more crisis. The one day Ukraine panic showed exactly the ways in which Bitcoin would be used when the curtains seem like they might come down on a nations economy.

The USD will collapse, but not before every other currency economy has collapsed underneath that. Bitcoin is a way of helping BRICS and other small nations currencies collapse. A facilitator if you like. The instigation will come from other pressures.

Bitcoin is a tool of evil, not of liberty. Even if Satoshi is a libertarian and he believed in the altruistic ideals behind Bitcoin, it isn't really that hard for nefarious organisations to use well meaning individuals who operate under their umbrella as tools in a game they may not understand.

The level of paranoia - ULTRA PRO

I just saw a live feed of the front of this guys house with reporters and cops.. He evidently called the cops and asked them to deal with the people outside..

CNBC knocked on his door and said: Hey this CNBC can we ask a few questions?


He replied " i dont know any CNBC " !!            That was pretty funny LOL,

 seriously tho.. that journalist and newsweek just bought themselves some bad karma.. Its one thing to say i think i know who it is... but its another to post pictures of his car and address and kids and just make a target out of that family! Whether it's really him or not is not really the accent of this story. Will they show up at his relatives funeral, or go after his kids at their school?  What just happened here..

If this is the usual MSM tactic, then the guy is completely made up - probably even photoshopped.

[eldentyrell]

Could have been a lapse. The white paper was kind of academic in style and setting. Sthg a researcher wouldn't mind putting his real name on. But  then it blew up, became real, really fast. At the point when he  realized his real name was associated with a global phenomenon, he dropped out.

Once it was published he could have simply mentioned his age, dropped his real name and written all the software under a psuedonym, claiming to be a 20-year-old hacker following the instructions laid out in the whitepaper while slugging JOLT cola and pulling all-nighters.

I have done this myself.

If I could think up something like this, I'm sure Satoshi could have.

what we need is a proof. no proof, no satoshi.

While I do think that the article is terribly written and researched, I'm not going to blame someone's problems of being associated with bitcoin on the media. The guy's name is Satoshi Nakamoto - it's hardly surprising that someone would investigate and report on the matter. No one freaked out when this was published with people's names a year ago:

Either this guy isn't Satoshi and he should deny it or he is and he should have thought up a better pseudonym.
