Haha, this is awesome! Not only because I read that quote and heard Shatner's voice while I did it but that a senior citizen celebrity seems to actually be somewhat educated about bitcoin...

“Why can’t he prove it? From what I’ve read is that some mysterious bonded courier would deliver the keys (which honestly is a scene right out of Back to the Future.)  If he is, he should be able to prove it. This is like the modern day search for Anastasia.”
Wait the Captain reads the forum? Or nullius is Shatner? etc

Indeed, quite incidentally or perhaps inadvertently, William Shatner now appears to of 'joined' Project Anastasia: Bitcoiners Against Identity Theft  [re: Craig Wright scam] with the following tweet(s)! ...

"Why can’t he prove it? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Holy fork!  This suddenly makes want to watch Star TrekMy respect, Captain Kirk!

There is hereby an important lesson:  Whether Shatner borrowed my idea, or he indpendently thought of the same historical analogy (which would be an big coincidence due to the timing ;-), the truth is spreading—and that’s great for Bitcoin!

Shatner is a celebrity with a giant microphone.  Through his social media and his entrée to the mainstream media, he will carry Anastasia’s message to masses of people—and they will carry it to their Facebooks and Twitters and IRL chit-chat with their friends.

I did not make Project Anastasia for the Bitcoin Forum only.  I made it as a message to be built on Satoshi’s own forum, and spread by a cadre of Bitcoiners to every other venue of discussion.

A community is made of people, I am a person—so I decided to lead by example, starting with two topics showing the types of discussion that I hope others will join me in carrying forward, far, and wide into many languages and many venues of discussion:

  • Bitcoin: The Social Phenomenon, a positive essay to explain why my motto is, “There is only one Bitcoin”...  I think it is important to keep this principle:  Always say what you are, before you say what you are against.  [...]
  • Project Anastasia...

In the long term, these two will only be the beginning...

I always work slowly, but I am a patient man; and I have started my Bitcoin advocacy with the intent of growing it to have a long-term large effect, not of making a drama splash and then getting bored.  Bitcoin is worth love, it is worth working for—and it is worth fighting for.

I assure you that the emotional impact of my Anastasia essay was fully, consciously intended—and moreover, intended to be exemplary:  This is how it’s done, folks! [...]

Wherefore I encourage others to spread the Anastasia Bitcoin message to other venues of discussion, and also to create similar forms of argument upon the principles that I have hereby set forth.

People should neither ignore Wright, nor wildly lash out at him:  Keep focus, keep the high ground, and keep hitting the key points, repeatedly, in every single discussion so that he cannot get away with these cheap psychological ploys.

(...etc....  I think also in a few other places that I didn’t find on a quick review...)

I have been intending to elaborate on the necessity of starting with this thread, and spreading the message elsewhere.  Evidently, the discussion has gotten ahead of me at warp-speed!

Please, could some Trek fans help me out here!  It’s the that best I can do. :-(

Of course, among other means of spreading Anastasia’s message, it is fully appropriate to tweet links to this thread...



On General Knowledge and Identity

A neat demonstration of why Hyena-style tactical diversion must be cut off at the threshold:  Such arguments about alleged general similarity of knowledge and ideas can lead to absurdies which are comical, if not made with malicious intent.  Maybe William Shatner is nullius, who invented Bitcoin?

Could be funny, if it were not malicious disinformation intended to be brainwash people who lack the technical expertise to make their own assessments:
I know the language Craig speaks very well and as a professional in my field I can say that Craig clearly knows what he is talking about.

LOL, troll:
Nullius' knowledge about blockchain science and cryptography is a dead giveaway....  He could even be Satoshi.  Shocked
(Gleb Gamow also once joked in good humour that I may be Satoshi due to my use of two spaces after each sentence.  Key terms: “joked”, “good humour”.  Sorry, I can’t find it now.)

Funny!
Or nullius is Shatner?

I myself have futilely tried to crack Satoshi’s keys using magick, for the principal purpose of signing a message that says, “I am not Satoshi. — nullius, Bitcoin Forum #976210, PGP fingerprint 0xC2E91CD74A4C57A105F6C21B5A00591B2F307E0C” ;-)

A takedown of Faketoshi’s technical incompetence is important in its own way.  That has been done many times—here, on Reddit, and pretty much everywhere else that this matter is discussed.  But it is a discussion which should be cut off cold when shills use claims of “Dr.” Wright’s alleged expertise to divert and reframe so as to sneak around the threshold question.  I myself will happily engage a debate over Wright’s expertise (or lack thereof) if and only if he produces a Satoshi-signed message which identifies him as Satoshi. *crickets*
