Any recent word from Bill Gates?

He seems like just the type to be actively supportive of Bitcoin for a few reasons.

The last, and only thing, i've heard from Gates on the subject was that he thought it was a technical "tour de force". So it is clear he has a pretty strong appreciation for the code.

Also, I watched a Ted Talk where he did a presentation on alternative energy and the numerous humanitarian benefits it would bring and he comes off as genuinely doing it for the betterment of the Earth and its inhabitants, not for financial gain (from my perception, at least). He also cofounded the Bill and Melinda Foundation which supports initiatives in education, world health and population, and community giving. Point is, he likes to help the world, and we all know how huge a role Bitcoins can play in developing countries and those with corrupt governments, among other benefits.

So why has he shown little to no interest (publicly, at least)? It just seems like a man so famous in software would actively support one of the greatest software initiatives in the world.

Is he invested in assets that Bitcoins threaten? Even so, I can't imagine money is much of a motivator for him any longer.







































or maybe he is Satoshi.
