Though I'd like to see the fantasy art as you dreamed it. A masked Satoshi throwing lightning bolts at banksters while riding a winged fluffy pony would be pretty bad ass.

Hehe.

If Satoshi wants to borrow my account for a bit to do some trolling, he would only have to ask. Cheesy

Anyway, don't be so quick to wish for this. Bitcoin would have benefitted from the talent and intellect behind it coming out and saying, "Here are my/our creditentials. Look what we made."

But it didn't, and as a result truly transcended borders. It was a force arising from nothing.

The universe would make a lot more sense too if God came out and said, "Yep, it was me. How do you like it?" But instead we have a mysterious dimension that has arisen from nothing with nothing backing it.

Monero too must walk the hard road, and arise from nothing, same as all other 'universes' have. It is this struggle that gives it legitimacy. If some mysterious force can suddenly shift his beliefs at a whim, what's to say he/she/they won't do it again?

Monero doesn't need Satoshi's name; the talent and technology those individuals have likely brought to Cryptonote behind the scenes are enough.

I agree that Monero doesn't need Satoshi's backing. But on the flip side of that, I doubt it would hurt and Satoshi would be true to his broader cypherpunk aims if he did back a coin that proved to be more disruptive to the regime that inspired him (or HER, inconceivable said a short, lispy, balding man) to create Bitcoin in the first place.

And on another topic, why aren't you playing CryptoKingdom? You'd probably love it and we could use your infectious attitude now that the game is ramping up for a broader audience.
