those thinking that i treat satoshi like a messiah are wrong. the reason i say what i say is that i have read satoshi's posts, IRC logs emails etc. so i understand what he wanted. yet all you can quote is the genesis block, as if thats the only thing he wrote.
it might be worth you researching more to realise that satoshi didnt just think of it as a meaningless experiment, or something he didnt want to succeed. my mindset is in the "satoshi=smart developer" not "satoshi=god". and although i call him a smart developer i know his unix skills lacked a bit. but that didnt stop him having a smart idea.
might be worth some of you reading the research and double checking it. rather than believing the summarized plot lines.
I am talking about the arguments presented here when people start saying "Satoshi meant ..." The fact is it does not matter what Satoshi wanted, said, or did at this point. It is an open source software program for which he has no control. The only thing that matters is what he will do with his coins and there is no basis for the conjecture that he will never spend the coins. In fact I believe he said you should never destroy a private key. Everyone should plan for Satoshi using his coins at some point. As pointed out, if his intention was to destroy the coins he probably would have done so by now to remove this risk.
Someone who spends their time endlessly analyzing Satoshi chats and IRC logs, etc. is like sitting around analyzing the Dead Sea Scrolls. Unless it is some technical issue that you are trying to explain it serves no purpose except to turn Bitcoin into some kind of religion.
