Hello everyone! I have some interesting thoughts to put forward about Hal Finney being Satoshi. (I don't know if they are new or not)

I would say that Craig Wright is a liar and maybe Hal Finney is the creator of Bitcoin because:

* Hal Finney died because of complications with ALS in 2014. (Bitcoin was created in 2009)
* Only a dying person has no interest in fame or money and that is why he hid is name and worked for a greater cause, to revolutionise and discourage centralised banking systems.
* Why would someone like Craig Wright try to be 100% private and then all of a sudden become public? He also only became public AFTER Hal Finney's death.

There is no question that Craig Wright is a certified and convicted liar (according to a court case) and he is claiming to be the real Satoshi Nakamoto so he can gain the fame, recognition and riches that he has been aiming for all his life. He already got what he wanted and now he is bent to make sure that all people in the Bitcoin community will bow to him and look at him as the genuine one. That will never happen because here in this community we are not all for deciets and we are not that idiots.

As for your proposition that Hal Finney was actually the real Satoshi Nakamoto based on some grounds which you just enumerated, I think that can need more investigations and I think this has been talked a lot here and in other platforms too. From what I read somewhere (or is it here in this forum?), Hal denied being the Satoshi and for now barring concrete evidence I would prefer to believe his own words.
