I really dont understand the reason behind this sudden interest in who Satoshi is or was? The crypto world is moving forward, bitcoin is leaving to expectation despite challenges here and there and people have looked for him and tired of looking for him. For crying out loud let the man or woman enjoys his labour or effort. In the near future someone else will do another 'investigative journalism' and claim someone else is the real Satoshi and others are fakes...
Exactly, its fake news. Think about and the timing. If the world was really interested they would be talking about Nash's essays about how an
international e-currency with a stable supply would asymptotically take power from central banks to arbitrarily print money.
The Wright news was clearly a coordinated stunt pulled probably by a group that Wright got to believe it is "likely" Satoshi. They think they are being benevolent but its simply because they are "in the know" and are corrupted by the power of it.
You can throw that premise out the window with Craig Wright Jr.'s bath water given that if I've done the math correctly, currently, bitcoins can be subdivided to eight decimal places, viz. 0.00000001, but in the future could be coded to nine decimal places - 0.000000001 - thus ten times more units negating "a stable supply". Similarly, ten decimal places, eleven, twelve, etc., depending on worldwide demand.
That said, this latest revelation is fucking with me and Vlad. Somebody get me an apple.
