Again why does it have to be an american, white and a man..it could well be a black american female..

I never said that he had to be American.  I just said that he probably is.  Most native English speakers are American.  I am having trouble finding numbers, but it is pretty clear that most native English speaking programmers are American.  Unless we have reason to believe that he isn't American, the parsimonious conclusion is that he probably is.

As for his demographics, let's be realistic.  This isn't TV.  Imagine that there was a black female programmer with the skills necessary to write the bitcoin client.  Do you really think that we wouldn't know about such a 1 in a trillion person?  She would be already be one of the most famous people in the world.  All of the elite universities would have fought over her.  Then every company in the world (and not just software companies) would fight fiercely to have her on their staff.  Imagine the Obama story x100.

"Google and more giant tech brands are joining forces to encourage black women programmers and technology entrepreneurs to hone their skills and acquire venture capital investment."

Maybe Satoshi was a group of black female programmers, or perhaps it doesn't matter?  Wink
