Do you really believe he is Satoshi? Let's leave the court asides for a moment. Do you find the overall "evidence" convincing to you?

Back in 2016 i thought it might be him based on the body language after breakdown . I had already watched the bitcoin belle panel and bitcoin doco documentary which intrigued me . Later i started researching with others and found that he was not as incompetent as the majority said . The things that added to my opinion that he possibly is was his series about how bitcoin works , whitepaper , small world networks , philosophy and more . This guy is definitely a polymath and a really sharp mind . People in here will laugh with this but it's common for those that just stick to others opinions because they are too lazy to do some proof of work (sick

) .
At this point i'm 95% certain that he is satoshi or was one of the architects behind the pseudonym . The last 5% will be either a significant proof like a receipt of bitcoin.org purchase or something significant like what he mentioned in the trial that there is a steganographic message in the whitepaper which only satoshi could know . A public signing message will be insignificant after that and probably people will understand why he chose to do it this way .
Of course there is the case that none of this happens and i'm just wrong Cheesy

, but that doesn't mean that the process is wrong .

No, but if you claim to be me, and you have no other ways to prove such a thing (like a drivers license), then a signed message from the PGP is at least required. You can't claim to be an anonymous person with no evidence apart from forgeries. Satoshi, whoever he is, posted a PGP key. This, along with the genesis public key, are the only elements which can certify his identity. Beyond that, not much else is known about him.

Your assumption is that he has no other ways to prove who he is and that satoshi is anonymous while it's just a pseudonym . And based on that assumption you think that he should do what most people want which is to sign . By doing that he's admitting that what most think is the right thing to do . He choose to do it the hard way , and if he can't he will be discredited and possibly go to jail . Joseph Vaughn-Perling said in one of his interviews back in 2016 : "The world can learn much from what he has done and how. He is showing what cryptography does and does not do. It is a lesson that the world needs to learn before mass adoption can occur."
You should read and listen about what Ian Grigg has said about identity and the problems with PGP keys . You have a false impression of how identity works .

You can't treat potentially everyone as Satoshi. Everyone is not Satoshi until proven otherwise. And as time goes by, these signed messages will count even less as solid evidence due to the development of quantum computing which will sooner or later be used to compromise his keys.

I disagree , not everyone can be satoshi . I can't be , as i don't have the technical skills . You too even with more skills . Probably 99.9 % of the community doesn't have the skills . Don't fall to the childish motos of maxi's like we are all satoshi or wagmi . That's for 5yo's .
