Satoshi Nakamoto a.k.a. Glenn M. Lilly (mathematician for the NSA)

[gentlemand]

By your statement "If I invented something as monumental as bitcoin, I would take credit for it somewhere. Wouldn’t you?"

I didn't notice this the first time around. This points to OP's fundamental lack of understanding of the whole thing, and Satoshi. You don't invent Bitcoin so a few years down the line you get invited to go and bake cakes on TV.

On the contrary, most, if not all cell phones or internet connected devices have a “hard coded” MAC/serial number that is tied to an individuals internet service provider, which is tied to someone that showed an ID to open the account, the serial/MAC of that device links the name, directly linking the identity - via multiple steps. They have already started contact tracing for COVID19 by way of an individuals cell phone, imagine the things they are doing and not telling you about.

Please explain to me how they'd know my ID by knowing my computer's serial number.
The only thing that is tied to my ISP is the IP address, but how does that reveal my identity through the blockchain?

Bitcoin is as anonymous as you make it.

I was arrested by the FBI at age 26 so it’s more than likely I know what I’m talking about when it comes to matters of privacy and DOCSIS. I was snitched on by someone who also worked in the same field.

The US agencies have no jurisdiction in my country.

Packets of info are sent from your modem/connection. This is tied to your name, address, etc. The ISP can see everything you do online. Where do you think those copyright notices come from when people download movies illegally?

I honestly didn’t come here to debate. It’s my intention to make it known, wether or not you believe it is irrelevant because now the info is there for people to decide.

As for Craig Wright he didn’t patent the hashing algorithm, the NSA did. To me what that spells out is they already have it reverse engineered for their benefit.

Case & Point: Russ Ulbricht’s wallet was hacked, and now the DOJ has custody of his 69,000 btc.

If it can happen to the mastermind behind Silk Road, it can happen to you.

Anyone can be hacked or stolen.
But you can make it very unlikely to happen.

What does this has to do with the conversation?
What is your point? If a guy was hacked , I shouldn't use btc?

Additionally,  being hacked is an amazing way to avoid taxes and the government cant confiscate (or extort you) your bitcoins. He might just made up that hack story to avoid the government, NSA etc

If you are talking about the recent events Chainalysis was helping the authorities in identifying the coins and they were able to identify the hacker that stole the bitcoins from silkroad and even Ross Ulbricht was aware of the online identity of the hacker and i wont be surprised if that hacker was active in this forum. You need to worry only if you did illegal things and if not there is no need to  .

If ANYONE can be hacked or stolen then logic tells me it’s probably not the best place to keep something of value in that particular medium. Unlikely is a dynamic term because new flaws can arise without your knowledge, at any time.

I pointed out the DOJ has custody of the seized coins. It’s relevant because the DOJ used a firm (chainalysis) to effectively spy on and confiscate coins from a user, the hacker.

My point is cryptocurrency as a currency has numerous flaws/points of attack. So if you have anything of value in it you should tread carefully, or choose to hold your wealth in something that has stood the test of time. Crypto currencies have their place and potential, however, given the direction the word is going cryptocurrencies as a whole are a gamble.

That story is all over google if you look for it. Look for Russ Ulbricht wallet and click on news.

What will you as an end user do if the government decides to stop or otherwise limit your transactions for whatever reason they deem to be illegitimate? The government isn’t the end all when it comes to buying/selling goods/services.

The reason cash/barter/gold/silver is better is because you can’t track and tax everything a person does. So if you want to be tracked and taxed then you can but I choose to avoid being taxed and traced. Because let’s face it, are our tax dollars helping communities?

Chainalysis can not confiscate people's bitcoins, they can only de-anonymize them because they do not have any private keys.

Why do you think they're called cryptocurrencies? They are secured by industry-standard cryptography also used by government agencies, so if cryptocurrency does have numerous points of attack as you say, then we have more serious things to worry about like the ability of NSA/CIA/FBI/Five Eyes/MI5 of getting compromised!

That story is all over google if you look for it. Look for Russ Ulbricht wallet and click on news.

First of all Ross Ulbritcht's wallet was not hacked of 69000 BTC. It was in another guy's wallet, and the DoJ legally forced him to surrender the bitcoins to them.

All of the above are taxed and tracked too by the IRS assuming you're in the US, and it's easier for them to find out you're hiding those assets and arrest you, than it is to find bitcoin in an address that they don't know belongs to you.

Quibbles... the DOJ was assisted which led to the identity of the person in possession of the coins, which ultimately led to them being seized. It doesn’t matter how it happened, it should matter that it happened at all.

And his wallet was hacked as outlined by numerous news articles. The DOJ was watching the wallet when it happened which confirms you are being spied on when using crypto’s.

So it’s easier for them to track gold and silver? Please I need to hear this.

[bitmover]

If ANYONE can be hacked or stolen then logic tells me it’s probably not the best place to keep something of value in that particular medium.

ANYONE can be hacked/stolen in ANY medium. The problem is not the medium.
Who would have 69,000 bitcoin in the same address?? Just spread it in 10 different wallets at least if you want to have some safety.

Your bank account can be stolen as well. Your cash. Especially if you don't follow basic security procedures and recomendations.

Bulshit. That is no reason to stop using bitcoin. That is what NSA want you to believe.

Bitcoin doesn't want to replace fiat. It will do something much bigger. People are putting their partial life savings in it. Just like gold, stocks, bonds. And it is working out very well for almsot everyone who is doing it.

Hold  USD or EUR. Buy government bonds at negative interest rates (-0.5% per year). See your savings slowing being eaten by negative rates and inflation.
Or buy BTC and look at the moon.

So it’s easier for them to track gold and silver? Please I need to hear this.

Much easier.
Most of the gold and silver and called "paper gold" and "paper silver" for a reason: They are Gold backed ETF and Silver backed ETF.
They don't need to be tracked, they just need to be searched in a database to know how much someone owns.

Who the hell is going to store millions of dollars of gold in their wardrobe?  That can be "hacked" much easier than any bitcoin.

You are just contradiction yourself

You do what you want but assuming bitcoin isn’t capable of going to 0 and has been around through every kind of collapse known to man like gold has I’d say you have a lot of catching up to do.

The dollar is going to collapse soon and you assume people will still have electricity or internet to transact? Gold works regardless.

But it’s your money, if you lose it the only person responsible is you. And you would need to rewrite the constitution. Article 1 Section 10.

Quibbles... the DOJ was assisted which led to the identity of the person in possession of the coins, which ultimately led to them being seized. It doesn’t matter how it happened, it should matter that it happened at all.

It matters big time, the coins that were confiscated were Pursuit of Crime and not some investor holding the coins. The situation is clear, if you did any illegal activities with BTCitcoin it will catch up how many years it took to reach the culprit.

And his wallet was hacked as outlined by numerous news articles. The DOJ was watching the wallet when it happened which confirms you are being spied on when using crypto’s.

There is no clear evidence of this claim that his wallet was hacked, he was a hacker who skimmed off the coins from silk road and he made some deposits in exchanges and that is the reason the authorities were able to pin point him.

So it’s easier for them to track gold and silver? Please I need to hear this.

So how you are getting those gold and silver, unless you are finding a treasure there will be receipts and transactions that can be tracked if it is a big amount.

Just because something is deemed a “crime” doesn’t mean it’s morally correct. The Nazi’s considered it unlawful to house or assist Jews. The punishment was death. So crime or not, individuals should be able to move their money SECURELY without interference from government or prying eyes.

According to the Wall Street journal they say his wallet was hacked so you can argue with them.

How much gold and silver do I have? It could have been passed down from one generation to the next without any trace of who owned it before. It’s clear you don’t understand how precious metals work.

Why do you think people call them “precious”, cause it sounds cute?

[gmaxwell]

SHA2 was the standard recommended 256-bit hash function at the time Bitcoin was created (and still pretty much is). There was essentially no realistic alternative at the time.

There isn't a connection here.

You can also see this theory speculated on this forum years ago and roundly and promptly debunked.

He's just talking about how phone wallets can theoretically be hacked with malware. That's not a bitcoin problem.

I expect to see more of this post in the future. Since Satoshi Nakamoto has refused to review his identity, I don't care who Satoshi is; I only care about Bitcoin.🥰🥰

[Ozero]

Wondering though why are there's a lot of thread as of late, pertaining to Satoshi. Where is the new wave coming from and who are the people behind this? Are there people out there trying to destroy Satoshi and his creation? I have my hunch or who are those individuals, but I will keep it to myself. For me, Satoshi has long been gone from the scene and he/she/they chooses to remain like that. And one one to really prove if Glenn Lilly is Satoshi is to sign a message to a known bitcoin address of Satoshi and that's it.

This is another of the versions about Satoshi Nakamoto and the bitcoin he created, of which there have been a lot in recent years, and above all on this forum. So much time has passed that it makes no sense to stir up all this, and primarily due to the fact that the person or group of people who previously worked under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto made every effort to remain anonymous.
Whoever created bitcoin and for what purpose, we will be grateful to him, even if it turns out to be the US National Security Agency.
