Hello everyone! I have some interesting thoughts to put forward about Hal Finney being Satoshi. (I don't know if they are new or not)
This theory has been discussed countless of times here in this forum and on reddit, also on IRC if you peeps are still onto that so this isn't something new.
I would say that Craig Wright is a liar and maybe Hal Finney is the creator of Bitcoin because:
* Hal Finney died because of complications with ALS in 2014. (Bitcoin was created in 2009)
* Only a dying person has no interest in fame or money and that is why he hid is name and worked for a greater cause, to revolutionise and discourage centralised banking systems.
Maybe Hal doesn't
personally need the money on his own but he openly stated that he left some bitcoins for the safety/security of his family in the future should bitcoin reach insane heights. He's a true cypherpunk and a believer of anarchy, and at the same time a dedicated volunteer for bitcoin, but that IMO isn't enough of a reason why he could be satoshi.
* Why would someone like Craig Wright try to be 100% private and then all of a sudden become public? He also only became public AFTER Hal Finney's death.
He's just feeding his ego with all these talks. I'm still waiting for him to actually cause some serious damage to bitcoin which, to my dismay, hasn't happened yet.
