Hello BTCitcoin talkers... here is a thought experiment...

We know Satoshi was active on this forum in 2009 and 2010. We have all his posts here, that is from November 19, 2009 to December 13, 2010. We also have the timestamps for all his 575 posts.

Let suppose these two things

- He was human, not a bot not an alien
- He will sleep during night like all of us and active during the day

Now let say we like a normal human being, start our day at 8AM and we are awake until 10PM. We sleep at 10PM and woke up in morning 7AM.

Now using above hypothesis if I combine post timings of Satoshi can I figure out where Satoshi was located? Well I think I can... let's try

Here is the hour and number posts Satoshi made during this time:

A picture worth thousand word, so let's make a graph out of it

Wow did you notice? He was sleeping from 10PM to 6AM - a well 8 hours sleep!

So can I say now, that he was from USA or at least he was in USA during 2009 - 2010?

You might ask for some proofs, so here is how I concluded this...? let see the postings pattern of Theymos.

Well clearly Theymos is not sleeping for 8 hours, but he is sleeping for 6-7 hours 1AM to 7AM at least.
Isn't the pattern matching?

For more proofs, that he was human... here is my sleeping pattern

Well I'm very bad at time management, but I also sleep 2AM - 7AM (5 hours at least)

I'm sure this will be true for majority of us... any one interested to see his/her posting pattern? Or sleeping pattern if say... let me know Smiley


  • I took Satoshi's last 539 posts instead of 575, my bad programming
  • I took recent 1000 posts of Theymos from 2015 to 2018
  • Bitcointalk is saving all times in GMT+0, so I did conversion to respective GMT
  • No, I'm not saying Theymos is Satoshi
