In regards to John Nash creating Bitcoin I think I could just as well say someone else created it. I dont think we will ever know for sure.
Absolutely true and intelligent point! Although on other hand, how many people do you know spent the last 20 years explaining how an international e-currency with
a stable supply and asymptotically stabilizing inflation rate would cause a currency war that would eventually end the monopoly on central banks and government ability to issue money?
This is another reason why bitcoin is not corresponding to Nash's ideal money. Bitcoin has a diminishing DEBASEMENT, and a huge DEFLATION (that is, value appreciation).
For Nash, it was extremely important that this international currency had zero or low and fixed, inflation, that is VALUE DEPRECIATION. He accused gold of not being ideal, exactly because it was too much of a collectible, and couldn't adapt supply to keep its value constant. Bitcoin is based upon sound money doctrine, which is not what Nash considers ideal money, because it doesn't have a stable value, and can't because you cannot have inelastic supply, variable demand, and constant price. Bitcoin has perfectly inelastic supply (it is programmed in advance), even a diminishing growth rate of his supply. So this must be a value-appreciating asset, which cannot serve as ideal money with constant value AT ALL.
If it was meant to be a reserve ASSET (not money), then Satoshi has been lying through his teeth, and it doesn't correspond to what Nash called ideal money.
