Is Jack Dorsey, Satoshi Nakamoto?

[EFS]

There are many interesting coincidences in the article. I see the possibility of Jack Dorsey being Satoshi as close to zero. Finding these coincidences is intriguing, but those who want to create conspiracy theories can make such connections. For example, Jack Dorsey's birthday is November 19. It's said that Satoshi registered on the forum on November 19, but the admin account was created on November 18. If there had been an event linking Jack Dorsey to November 18, it would have been mentioned and used.
In my opinion, Jack Dorsey is just one of the many crypto enthusiasts. Nothing more.

Guys, can we allow Satoshi some breathing space?
We are just getting done with Craig Wright and other faketoshis. What he would want from us is to focus on bitcoin rather than trying to unravel a mystery that would not essentially affect bitcoin.
Jack Dorsey is not Satoshi. We can identify another similarity with someone else, a crypto enthusiasts who has this same outline.
This is what Hal Finney would have had to deal with if he were alive(God rest his soul)

Jack Dorsey has many compelling ties with Satoshi Nakamoto that become more noticeable through his involvement with cypherpunks and crypto activities and cryptic actions throughout time. The available information leads people to ask questions about these connections. But, who knows? The question will remain without an answer for quite some time. It would be intriguing to discover the real truth behind the matter.

[JollyGood]

Your view would probably be shared by the vast majority of those that have any involvement and/or understanding of crypto. Without a doubt it would be possible to make a list with debatable connections to almost any famous person yet they would not be considered to be Satoshi Nakamoto. The idea Dorsey could even be considered is preposterous.

In my opinion, Jack Dorsey is just one of the many crypto enthusiasts. Nothing more.

[PrivacyG]

Too much nit picking in my opinion.  I read a LONG time ago about the likelihood of having the same birth date as another class mate in school.  The likelihood is much higher than you probably think.  A lot of us here on Bitcoin Talk share the same birth date too for sure.

Linking dates is not a way to prove Jack is Satoshi.  Even if all dates coincide, it would be stupid or dubious to think Satoshi would go as far as linking dates to his own identity yet he would try to live on Bitcoin Talk under an Anonymous identity.  Why even try to hide when the most significant Bitcoin dates coincide with your birth date, the birth date of your father, your best friend or what ever.  The CIA would laugh out loud if that was the case.

Let Satoshi live in his own piece, or rest in his soil if he already died.  Privacy should be respected, is it really this hard?  What is accomplished by finding out who Satoshi was or is?

This type of conclusion or other speculations would never stop since there are still curious dude want to know the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. Its like they are using this to highlight some name in the mainstream then sudden debunk it when they didn't get much proof to determine if he's really the real one.

If you search that information you will find out that lot of media sites are buying that claims since they know their are lots of attention  will be pulled by this another series of Satoshi Nakamoto identity finding.

But overall there's nothing surprising to be revealed here as they are just creating another drama  again.

[Darker45]

Maybe, maybe not. The question is, are these definitive in concluding that Satoshi Nakamoto is Jack Dorsey? I don't think so.

Aside from having certain clowns who come forward making claims that they are Satoshi, the rest continue to hunt down the real person behind the mysterious name. The problem is that all they can offer are circumstantial evidences.

In which case, Jameson Lopp is right in reminding us that "Accusing someone of being Satoshi without providing bulletproof evidence makes you a massive asshole, because you're painting a target on them. Even if that person is dead, you're endangering their family."^[1]

Finding Satoshi Nakamoto and true identity are biggest challenge and also unsolved myth in many years since 2009 and some years later when Bitcoin started to get success.

Some threads for your research on Satoshi Nakamoto.
Satoshi Identity Revealed LOL
I gathered every Satoshi Nakamoto thread.
Hal Finney was not Satoshi Nakamoto.
How Many Wrongs Make a Wright?
COPA vs Craig Wright: The Identity Trial

Are all of the interviews in the trailer original? I got the feeling that several of them were interviews I saw many years ago, though I could be wrong.

My current feeling on Satoshi's identity is:
 - Sassaman is a very bad candidate. If this is their conclusion, then they totally failed to do proper research.
 - 50% chance it's someone nobody's ever heard of, and nobody will ever figure it out
 - 35% chance it's Hal Finney. (Over time, I've moved more probability into this category.)
 - 10% chance it's someone else in the Bitcoin-verse
 - 5% chance it's a group within the CIA

But I'm really not a fan of the whole "search for Satoshi" genre. Being anonymous, Satoshi is an excellent myth and source of inspiration, since we can't see much of his flawed humanity. Mythical-Satoshi is a humble man who, with a lot of persistence and skill, but not with a level of brilliance beyond the reach of us mortals, single-handedly created a clockwork device so powerful that it shook the world. And then, in an action which nobody in the traditional halls of power would ever take, he had the wisdom to walk away: a modern Cincinnatus. I like that myth very much, and I'd rather it not be tainted by association with an actual human.

Jack Dorsey just began to have interest in Bitcoin recent years, and people after failed with attempt to make other people as Satoshi Nakamoto, switch their target to Jack Dorsey. They have never stopped doing crazy things.

One word - speculations.
 
This so-called "mystery" will never die down, just because of how big it is, so speak. But I agree with you.

Jack Dorsey birthday is 19th November, which is actually the day Satoshi created his account in the forum. Meanwhile, Satoshi being Jack Dorsey had decided to create the admin account the eve to their birthday for testing purposes.
So, Jack Dorsey is Satoshi. Now we have exposed the long hidden secret, what next?

Edit: Many blogs have actually carried this news and it's just trending

[Lucius]

The true identity of Satoshi Nakamo is a mystery that some has tried to unravel in the past and failed. But here's a new one. I came across this tweet by Sean Murray on X where he made an interesting theory linking Jack Dorsey to Satoshi Nakamoto. Would like to know what you guys think.

"Jack Dorsey was:

• 1 of ~1,300 confirmed cypherpunks in 1996 (his UMR email).
  ~snip~
  

That would mean that there are at least 1299 possible candidates who could potentially be Satoshi?

I admit that there is some interesting information that may indicate that Jack may be the one some are looking for, but after all these years, it seems to me that Satoshi is not just one person, but several of them who had an agreement never to go public. I just hope they stick to their agreement, because whoever proves they are Satoshi would have big problems in life, not only with the authorities, but also with a bunch of criminals who would want his wealth or with those who would just want to make a name for themselves by killing him.

It is a most hilarioius reason because a person or a group that is/ are super serious with privacy like Satoshi Nakamoto, decided to launch a Bitcoin forum because it's a celebration of his birthday.

It breaks privacy principles and Satoshi Nakamoto never mind to do it, I really believe the Bitcoin founder never want to do any cool thing to break his privacy.

This conspiracy theory is non sense if you look at it with privacy aspect.

[Charles-Tim]

I noticed that Jack Dorsey is bitcoin enthusiaste to some level but I do not yet think he is Satoshi. If he is and he wants people to believe, we should leave all what is written in the OP and he can gladly sign messages with some Satoshi Nakamoto addresses.

I also do not believe Satoshi is just one person. They are groups but likely not many people.

[Dunamisx]

Snipped

Upon all the these evidences rendered, have you also been informed that we could search from the richest men in the world and still come over almost the exact of all these from some of these men as well, which means, if Jack can possess many related information that could be taken on suspicious linking, then others could have more closer information related to these, but what we should all ask ourselves is whether if there is any cognate proofs over all these claim or not.

[moneystery]

all of that is still not enough to make him considered as satoshi, but it is much better compared to that wright who has always been obsessed with becoming satoshi. for the past few years this man has only wanted to make bitcoin his and has even filed several times in court saying that he is satoshi. but fortunately the judges are still rational and did not grant his demands.

but whoever it is i don't really care. as long as he doesn't claim that bitcoin is his, then it is not something that needs to be discussed further.

The extreme curiosity to know who exactly is Satoshi Nakamoto among crypto marketers is the main driving factor in all of this guessing games they've been playing over the years. Some of the biggest Bitcoin investors have engaged in so many fact-finding researches in their bid to uncover the person or persons behind the innovation of Bitcoin but the truth is that the more they come up with new names the less authentic these speculations becomes.

Satoshi Nakamoto knew his reasons why he chose to remain anonymous instead of coming out to claim the praises he deserves in creating the biggest cryptocurrency in the world so I don't think there's any speculation that'll force him to unveil himself just to prove speculators wrong. Jack Dorsey isn't Satoshi please so they should just put this narrative to bed.

[Accardo]

In as much as Jack is among the top contributors to Bitcoin core developers, he doesn't come close to being Satoshi. He was very engrossed with Twitter before selling it to Elon and then ventured into cryptocurrency. If he was Satoshi he would have focused in Bitcoin than twitter when he was CEO. Although, the lists you made, Op, have concrete information on him, yet a promoter of anonymity and creator of a decentralized currency like Bitcoin won't leave all those information about him and walk freely on the streets. Satoshi doesn't even have a photo.

[yhiaali3]

I don't know why people keep searching for Satoshi, I've said before and I say it now that it's better to leave Satoshi alone, the guy chose to hide his identity because it's better for him and Bitcoin.

Even if Jack Dorsey is Satoshi himself, no one will be able to prove it because he said it wasn't him, so I think it's the duty of these people to respect the privacy that Satoshi has managed to maintain so far.

[Z-tight]

We can only speculate and try and make some connections, but what does it do? Nothing. I don't think Jack Dorsey is Satoshi, and even if another person thinks he is, it still changes nothing, he will surely never claim to be Satoshi, and since Satoshi wanted to stay anonymous, i don't think he would have left anything that could connect him to a real identity.

I know that some people 'enjoy' the hunt for Satoshi, but i don't, if Satoshi wanted us to know who they are, then they would have done so, since they didn't, let us enjoy what they created.

[blackchain9]

Jack Dorsey is really Satoshi, right?

The “Real Satoshi” was definitely someone from the cypherpunk movement. So he's one of the 1,300 people involved in the allegations. For me, there's a 1 in 1,300 chance that Jack is Satoshi.
