I don't know - many people = many thought patterns. The same would apply for going public claiming to be Satoshi and not actually being Satoshi... If he is not, and never proves it, he will forever be laughed at and never taken serious - I cannot see how someone could be that ignorant. If he is not Satoshi, he must be part of the group.

If he's not Satoshi and claims to be, there are many benefits that are simply not present in the case of actually being Satoshi and revealing it.

Notoriety, authority, admiration etc.

If you were really Satoshi, and sitting on 1,000,000 BTC would any of those things be worthy of jeopardizing your security?

>> No.10091335

>>10091306
Who When Where? Not doubting, just curious.
What if he showed early mining proof and the only connection would have had to be a personal connection with creator(s) - because how the f would you know how to connect miner within first couple months of posting... not many people were around then. And what if he says that he simply had hardware failure with disk that held first completed block rewards... but holds the next several blocks and can move the funds? The possible truths are endless.

shit this fake satoshi stuff did start like a year after Finney died? But if Finney was Satoshi and Wright knew it then he'd probably be pretty loaded too. The $10MM to $500MM range for sure. Unless he just guessed Finney was satoshi based on evidence.

I would bet my life that he is not Satoshi. Since hes not. A friend of the biggest bcash shill suddenly emerges claiming to be creator of all coins and starts to shill bcash. Even people who say they believe him are just pretending because they want to dump bcash bags.

He's very knowledgeable when it comes to law, business, finance, economics. He disappeared because he was going into hiding and deleted all of his social media accounts. That includes Bitcointalk. He created nChain to advanced Bitcoin Cash into the future by it being able to transact as cash and scale eventually to higher proportions.

At the same time, I have doubt as anyone would. It doesn't matter who Satoshi is because the blockchain is here and more blockchains are being made.

Imagine being Satoshi but Blockstream denies him to merge code into Bitcoin Core and everybody gets upset when he is forced to fork the project into Bitcoin ABC and create Bitcoin Cash.
