Hal Finney was a legendary Cypherpunk, but he was not Satoshi.

Today I present my research to support that claim.

Amazing research, enjoyed your presentation a lot!

I’ll read it.

I love these kinds of reads! 🙏

What's your favorite private messaging service? Are you okay with NIP04, or do prefer something else?

I promise I won't ask "how your trade is going."

I'll read it, but I hope we never learn Satoshi's government name.

Nice read. Can you do the same for Nick Szabo. Think he is the most likely candidate of the usual suspects... But I do hope the mystery is never solved

Great work!

Also TIL 😄

But it would be the perfect cover!

Great presentation indeed.

Now, Len Sassman?

Very interesting!

I will link this whenever I come across dummies claiming so 🫡

Now you need to present the case as to why Len Sassaman is Satoshi.

Good read, thanks for sharing.

Agreed. Also, I hope we never find out.

More fun that way ;)

For me, it's the physicist Valery Chalidze, Soviet dissident stripped of his nationality in 1972 following a trip to the USA. A virulent defender of human rights and friend of Sakharov (the Nobel Peace Prize-winning physicist), he was a publisher of books, leaflets and magazines, first in the USSR and then in the USA. Hunted for years by the Soviet secret services before becoming stateless, he finally obtained American citizenship.

He was a jack-of-all-trades, curious in many fields, according to the archives of his website (written from 1995 to 2005).

The book that interests us in relation to Bitcoin is this one, written in 2000: Entropy Demystified: Potential Order, Life and Money

Good vibes Bitcoin ;)

Great read!

The middle tile 🤣

We are all Satoshi , he is Satoshi like all of ous

Good read! I believe we'd be better off if we never found out who Satoshi is...
