Today I was reading some theories about who is Satoshi Nakamoto, and it came to me, that DPR (Ross Ulbricht, founder of Silkroad) is Satoshi Nakamoto
Most people can agree that Satoshi:
* is American
* is a skilled programmer
* knows a lot about cryptography and economics
Guess what, DPR studied economics extensively in college, and we all know DPR can code and have a keen interest in cryptography.
The biggest hint is the perfectly lined up timeline:
The last time Satoshi was involved in Bitcoin was around
January 2011, Silkroad launched in
February 2011. So if DPR was Satoshi, this would explain why Satoshi suddenly backed off from the Bitcoin development, he was too busy developing and running Silkroad!
Then I digged a little more and found:
DPR
moved 1000 BTC that was mined in January 2009, which can only belong to Satoshi or Hal Finney. We know Hal Finney isn't DPR, so there's only one possibility left.
Also this would explain why after DPR was arrested, Satoshi's Bitcoins were never sold or moved, Satoshi himself never showed up anywhere. Because DPR lost his freedom and is rotting in a prison cell.
DPR (Ross Ulbricht) is Satoshi Nakamoto, he was arrested and sentenced to life in prison not just for running Silkroad, it is for something much more.
You have a point there but it seems you jump into conclusions as Ross Ulbricht just got arrested on year 2015 so he still have a time to use his account on here if he wants to. that is 4 year apart from 2011 though. There is a lot of skilled programmer that is so into cryptography espescially those who really using the dark web. No one really knows who is Satoshi Nakamoto and there is no concrete proof to prove that and it doesn't significant to know it anymore.
I think if there is one reason why that Satoshi Nakamoto account has been unactive because if you have created a great revolutionary technology that changed the world and it really booms then you will recieve so much attention and messages to that account and that would be a serious headache just like vitalik buterin.
We can consider also that account of Satoshi Nakamoto has been used of group of people that develops Bitcoin because it is hard to believe that only one person is involve in creating it.
