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.
Cool theory. In my view, he must be someone that is either in jail for life, or is dead, and ((they)) know for a fact that this is the case, otherwise they would have not appointed the Satoshi sockpuppet Craig Wright to try to influence the masses into thinking he is the real Satoshi. Why would anyone play the role of Satoshi unless he knew the real Satoshi wasn't going to show up and leave you looking like the biggest idiot on earth?
So like I said, Satoshi is in jail or dead, pick one.
