Don't know where you read that satoshi is from Japan?even if he has a Japanese's origin , he could be living in the USA right now.
Who would have known Satoshi better than Hal Finney?
I was reading Hal's post and found this....
Today, Satoshi's true identity has become a mystery. But at the time, I thought I was dealing with a young man of Japanese ancestry who was very smart and sincere.
Personally, I've always thought Hal Finney was satoshi, or very involved within the satoshi team if there ever was one, but in any case, as long as analyzing satoshi's posts in this forum in order to try to know where he is from based on the statistics, posting hours and so on... I think it's very misleading.
Consider the fact that most people that are into computers heavily, let alone someone very immersed in a revolutionary project, tend to have very fucked up sleeping schedules. This is often seen in genius people of all fields, from science, math, to music, cinema etc. People immersed in their projects often neglect their own health, and this includes your sleep. So no.. I don't think it's very accurate saying he was from the US or anywhere else because of that.
Agree..
and that statistics is close a teamwork rather than a person. teamwork must have a time schedule, while a person who is into computers heavily has no sleeping schedule. so,
Satoshi Nakamoto is an account used by a person in a team.
