Think about it though: if someone wanted to really be anonymous, would he put in small hints on who he/she is through his/her anonymous monicker? Obviously not as it would totally be a bad idea. The S-N thing is likely just a coincidence.

Nobody really knows if satoshi really planned on beign anonymous from the start or even had thoughts that bitcoin would he this big today, its hard to tell if he was just some secondary school nerd with a brilliant idea and some obsession or if he is a more advanced person with some status.

I'm not convinced that he was nick szabo and decided to use NS as a basis for his new anonymous name, like if it was planned he would have better left no trace of his original name or even use the first letters for the new name, he was smart for sure, so if he wanted to disappear he woudl leave no trace especially not one that would be easy to decode with a hint.
But there is every possibility that he didn't have total anonymousity in mind and must have had a few friends that knew him or probably wasn't planning to disappear from the start.

And here is a link of emails which are released by Sirius titled Satoshi - Sirius emails 2009-2011: https://mmalmi.github.io/satoshi/
I have gone through all of these and I am sure someone with more knowledge and understanding can find out who Satoshi actually was.
Really interesting convo.

Quite long and I don't think anyone would be going through such stress to make it up unless just to point fingers elsewhere, and it's also possible that he wasn't even chatting with the real satoshi or maybe it was someone he had disclosed the idea to earlier, and I think this project might also have had some kind of sponsors.

The truth is when it comes to the mystery of who satoshi was there are so many possibilities of persons it might be and we might have even guess right before or his person has not just even surfaced to anyone.

Not who was Satoshi ? You should ask or state '' Who is Satoshi Nakamoto ?

If you are new here in the forum the ask to my clone ''Theymos'' he will tell you the story of Satoshi Nakamoto. After that stop speculating on the creation of Bitcoin and its creator.
