If the claims in the medium article are true and can be verified, specifically that he used his credit card to purchase the bitcoin.org domain in 2008, this would be very strong evidence that he is satoshi. I don't think these claims have been proven, and I was also previously under the impression that satoshi had used cash in the mail to pay for the domain registration/hosting.

The medium article also implies that CSW no longer has access to his private keys, and I generally believe this to be true considering satoshi has not spent any of his coins even after bitcoin reached ~$20K. Further evidence of this being true is satoshi not stepping in (with proof of who he is) to try to mediate the block size debate in 2014-2017 when things were very heated.

If CSW is in fact satoshi (he has done things to "prove" he is satoshi that I would consider fraudulent, so I am very skeptical), I would not automatically agree with everything he says, nor his stances of various crypto topics. I maintain my ability to think for myself. In fact I would disagree with many of his stances, including those that caused bitcoin cash to split SV to split off from BCH.
