In many years, nobody know who is or are Satoshi Nakamoto and you think you know that, not we know that!!!
I don't know who is or are Satoshi Nakamoto but I feel like anyone who claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto is Faketoshi.
Before going to a post of theymos on it, let's read about
Satoshi's lesson topic first.
Then
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.
