My friendly, but sarcastic, at the same time, comment to @mynonce is that... Shake it again!
There's a difference between creating another currency and cheating the government's monetary system by inflating it.
Yes, we can't say '100%' Satoshi mined them, but if you do your own research and understand what Satoshi has done, then one can say '99.9999999999%'.
I disagree that based on few, insignificant facts like reuses of nonce, you can consider it highly likely to be Satoshi's. Let alone, for the private keys to be generated in a predictable way.Money printing is money printing and is a criminal act. What the Bitcoin community is doing, is money printing, or money creation, or money issuance.
Money printing is what's illegal; to start printing dollars. But, it's not illegal to form another type of money. If some agreed to transact using salt, the government of a democratic regime couldn't consider that illegal. It could regulate it, though.There's a difference between creating another currency and cheating the government's monetary system by inflating it.
Governments allowed Satoshi to 'print' Bitcoin.
Or rather couldn't stop Satoshi from inventing Bitcoin.Satoshi will allow 'whoever is able to do it' to transfer these coins.
Or rather, they won't.Governments will allow it.
Or maybe they'll have to accept they cannot forbid it.
