The real Satoshi could just send a message saying he is not Craig.

This actually might happen the more I think about it. If Craig is not the real Satoshi, then the real Satoshi might want to dispel these rumors before it goes too far.

It won't happen. There would be no empathy for Dr. Wright like there was for Dorian. In fact, he would serve the interests of the "real" Satoshi well.


I'm going to stick my neck out here and go on record as saying that I believe Craig Wright could well be Satoshi - OK, is Satoshi. Not that my opinion or conjecture matters one way or the other, but there it is nonetheless. I think the Sartre reference was the start of it for me, turning down the Nobel Prize for lit. He said art isn't a competition. Most people would give their left arm to even be nominated - but he turned it down.
  Anyhow, the degree in Theology, the autodidactic (and academic) eclecticism, the London/England connection, the massive amounts of BTC shifted early on, the diffidence around going public with proof to anyone beyond Gavin Andresen, Gavins belief in his authenticity. And even the way he came across in the BBC interview - which he rather strongly avowed would be his first and last.

 Maybe I want it to be him. Maybe I don't give a shite who the real Satoshi is. Jesus, half the time I'm not even sure who the real practicaldreamer is. Just a feeling about this one, a hunch. Of course, tangible proof would be conclusive, but it might well be that all we ever have to go on is circumstantial.
Perhaps circumstantial suits Craig Wright just fine.
