Of all the people that have been proposed to be Satoshi, Hal Finney is by far the most likely.

>Cryptographic expert and known cypherpunk culturalist
>Had the same genius disease that Stephan Hawking does
>Received Bitcoin's very first transaction
>Lived in the same neighborhood as Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto (literally what even are the odds)

He denied it, and the fact that he was exchanging emails with Satoshi gives some evidence to them being separate people, but even if he's not, he's practically it's co-creator and the closest thing we have to an identified Bitcoin creator.

RIP. I hope he had a plan for his coins before he died, but it's almost even more admirable if he just let them be destroyed.

And praytell, where might I find one of these banks?

Also, you dumb nigger, Gold has literally no intrinsic value. If it wasn't desired for it's monetary utility (which is worse than Bitcoin's), its value as jewelry would drop to almost nothing. People like wearing money as a status symbol. They won't want your fucking gold if it isn't money anymore. Hence, its intrinsic value does not give it any advantage over Bitcoin.

Like most ape-men that inhabit this planet, you don't really understand money. You confuse the representation of a unit of money for its value. Don't worry, many persist under this delusion.

The value of those properties are miniscule compared to the total valuation of gold. The vast majority of its value comes from the fact that it was a good form of money. Money itself has utility, it doesn't need a "usable as commodity" gimmick attached to it for people to demand money. It just needs to function as money (store of value, medium of exchange, and unit of account) and have a good network effect.

Gold isn't "money" anymore and hasn't been since like the 70s. Despite that its only gone up in price as a COMMODITY which literally means people just find it valuable and worth holding for reasons. Its industry and jewelry uses are a part of it, but for the most part people just naturally trust the fucking standard of value that has existed basically since civilization started.
