and this title: Satoshi Nakamoto Apparent Author of Two Upcoming Books on Amazon

Two different books published under Satoshi Nakamoto’s name have recently appeared on Amazon.

According to Amazon, both of the books — Wave and Ripple Design Book and The Official Bitcoin Coloring Book — are scheduled for release on June 28. The profile of the author makes it clear that he indeed claims to be the same Satoshi Nakamoto who created bitcoin (BTC):

“Satoshi Nakamoto is the renowned inventor of Bitcoin.”

with so many fake satoshi that appeared this year...

it looks like 2019 will be the year where Satoshi Nakamoto finally leaves the hole where it's hidden

[Jgod]

no way thats the real satoshi right ?

[AB de Royse777]

I can write a book (I am a shit writer by the way) and publish it using the name Satoshi Nakamoto instead of Royse777 :-P
You guys will then start reading my book thinking it came from the Bitcoin inventor. :-D

No one can be Satoshi just because they name something using this name. The real Satoshi will use cryptographic evidence to prove his authenticity.

[creeps]

Satoshi Nakamoto are looking for another business, he might become the best financial author of all time.  

I'm curious why Bitcoin coloring book, it looks like Sathosi Nakamoto are getting younger everyday.
Well, this is just another self-proclaimed Satoshi, the publisher of that book must know who's the guy behind that hyped book or they don't know after all? 

[dothebeats]

Seems like everyone wants to take a bite of the Satoshi craze and milk some penny off of it. I won't find it surprising if a lot of claims to be Satoshi spring out of nowhere in the latter part of 2019 when bitcoin's price has gone full blown for people to use it to ruse people off of their money. Well one guy is an outstanding fail in impersonating the true Satoshi and even made it to headlines and hopefully, in courts for his legal misadventures and whatnot (hi CSW). I just hope most of them end up there.

Nah, these are an opportunist who wants to exploit and gain media mileage, anyone can launch book presentation and tell that the world that this is Satoshi books, or in the future we will see people auctioning cards handwritten or anything related to supposed to be Nakamoto, this is because of  Cryptocurrency's sudden popularity.

[Kakmakr]

This is just going to be a tongue in the cheek poking at the joke that everyone is trying to be Satoshi Nakamoto. A lot of writers are writing books under different Pen names, like Stephen King / Dean Koontz etc. <Also called a Pseudonym or Alias>  

It is just fun using different names to take on different personas and also to cross different genres. So, if you are known for your horrors and you want to write a love story, then you write under another name.  

[CryptoBry]

This is going to be funny but I think someone beat us in monetizing the Satoshi Nakamoto craze. I am wondering is the name Satoshi Nakamoto already copyrighted? If not, then that explains why the real author of those two books used the famous name. This can be another minor marketing coup for the guy...so let's all just pretend that we are approving of him appropriating the name of the bitcoin founder. Anyway, I think those are two good books actually judging on the covers, the presentation and the description.

The author obviously just wanted the clout from the media attention his/her book is going to get simply by him/her using the Satoshi Nakamoto pseudonym. It was actually a good strategy for the author. He/she gets free marketing from the articles being made like the one you linked.

[blueteam09]

I still think the real author of the two books that are about to be published on the Amazon is not Satoshi. Is someone taking advantage of his reputation to sell his works and try to become famous? We need a statement or confirmation of his true identity before believing it is Satoshi.

[satoquotes]

As a special bonus, the book also includes intriguing clues about a cache of priceless Bitcoin treasure which Nakamoto is rumored to have "buried" online.

Maybe Satoshi created the greatest prize competition

We need a statement or confirmation of his true identity before believing it is Satoshi.

You don't even need a statement to know if the author is really Satoshi or not. Satoshi is anonymous, and I'm pretty sure submitting a book for publishing can easily break the anonymity.

If the real legitimate Satoshi would want to publish something, I guarantee that it wouldn't be through Amazon.

[wumBowo]

wow claiming as a satoshi nakamoto now is become a thing on 2019 , do the trends will continue .

[jhongzjhong]

no way thats the real satoshi right ?

Well, I guess the 2 books has the same author. It is really easy to earn money because of the people who are interested with these kind of things. People let opportunists earn easy money. Please do not try to get the fact who Satoshi is. Because if you do, you just let the writer earn money from something. I could even write a book saying that the author is Satoshi. That is a basic one.

[hatshepsut93]

Honestly, I think it should be illegal to clearly impersonate someone, even if it's an anonymous person - people who make such claims should be legally required to present proofs, or be prosecuted for a fraud and identity theft. This is a serious issue because they are using false identity to promote their products or damage other products, just like Craig Wright does with his shitcoin.

[Eraldo Coil]

I still doubt that it is Satoshi Nakamoto. It's obvious that he does not want to e known in public so writing the book like this and taking the risk is too high. And there is no need to know who he is to be honest.

[Janation]

And another one.

I don't even want to know who is the real deal now, all I want is for Bitcoin to make another ATH. Whoever wrote these books has the guts to write his name under that pseudonym, he must be insane. With a lot of people finding his real identity, his real name, it will lead to another misunderstanding and might be another choice for who really Satoshi Nakamoto is.
