Would be funny if Satoshi was really involved in the Cryptonote and XMR origins.

Way more than just 'funny'... profitable as hell, too. LOL

I'd expect IF it was ever confirmed that CryptoNote/Monero is *REALLY* also Satoshi's work, and hence truly "Bitcoin 2.0" then THAT -- all by itself -- would probably be enough to cause the entire crypto-world to shift over from BTC to XMR almost overnight.

Yes it's prolly gonna happen "organically" anyway, over a longer time period... but imagine the impact if Satoshi himself re-emerged and just said via a signed authenticated message, "Oh, hey guys... yeah it's me and hey by the way? I did CryptoNote as "2.0" too... go check out Monero, I think you'll like it"
