RE: Who or what is Satoshi Nakamoto?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Like I said in the OP, I think there are holes in the back story. However, I can't judge the accuracy of the claims that the 2014 message denying being a particular Nakamoto are correctly ascribed to the Satoshi Nakamoto account (honestly, I never looked), so I can't dismiss Len being ID'd as Nakamoto for that reason. Something like the owner being dead is preventing that account from being spent, or someone has incredible discipline and the need to leave it inactive. Basically, I think whoever spun up that account is dead or no longer capable of accessing it, and that eliminates a lot of other possibilities.
Even if only 10% of Dr. Kruse's tale is true, it's an amazing story, and despite I did note part of it was not in accord with my prior understanding that I have confidence in, I found it very entertaining, at least, and that's why I shared it. I am completely unfamiliar with Kruse prior to seeing the video, so can't comment about any of his other statements. Because his supporting claims aren't all factually accurate I am not at all confident in his identification of SN. I'm also absolutely sure I'm incompetent to judge the matter for anyone else, so I want to let folks judge for themselves and shared it with that intention.
I think I saw a comment you made on that video, in fact, so I don't doubt you saw it already.
Thanks!
