Wow! What a load of inaccurate and made up nonsense.

It has been suggested that Cicada 3301 might have something to do with the most talked-about topic in the world of cryptanalysis: Bitcoin.

Suggested by whom?

Bitcoin is money generated by software that can only be obtained by cracking various digital codes.

Incorrect.

Bitcoin is a money that is created by those that are performing the proof-of-work necessary to secure the blockchain.

Finding Bitcoin

No.

Bitcoin currency isn't "found". It is created.

is much like deciphering a Cicada 3301 clue, just using computer power and not occult poetry.

Except that there isn't anything to decipher. You assign yourself some bitcoins and then complete a proof-of-work before anyone else does

This online currency, which was once only whispered about in the dark corners of the Internet,

The internet has no corners.

Bitcoin was never "whispered about", and the first use of it was to purchase 2 pizzas. There really isn't anything very dark about a pizza.

responsible for releasing 21 million units of the currency into the digital wild in 2009.

Satoshi released placed his protocol and software in the public domain, but he didn't release any "units of the currency".

Since then, a little over 12 million of them have been found,

Created. Not found, created. And at this point its actually closer to 16 million.

become rich overnight without doing any real work.

Yep. That's how speculation and gambling work. The vast majority of people lose some money on the risks they take, and a few lucky people win big.

It also means that Satoshi Nakamoto, who is said to have put aside one million Bitcoin for himself,

Put aside? You mean created through the same proof-of-work process as everyone else, and chosen not to spend yet?

is a very rich man. Or woman? Or maybe corporation? Bank? Alien race?

Or dead.

Quote from: justallen on November 08, 2016, 03:09:27 PM

whoever Satoshi is, they are smart enough to encode an untraceable currency onto the Internet.

Except it isn't encoded onto the internet, and it isn't untraceable.

Why is this nonsense trash even allowed on this forum. Crap like this belongs in off-topic (or the trashbin).

This can be on the thread "myths about Bitcoin"...

Looks like an media article saying that Satoshi hide some Bitcoins to people try to find, that's the problem with Bitcoin, misinformation.

Just because your correct doesnt mean your right.
