What is the big deal? Isn't Satoshi Nakamoto a guy? With this name?

If you listen to the interview during the part where he talks about Hal Finney, you might catch a hint.

Hal is passed, so if Phil knew it were him, Phil would have likely used the past tense (like he was when he was speaking about Hal instead of Satoshi).

He "respects" only 3 people in this interview. One is Satoshi, and one is nostr:npub12qz56plzehejkyp4waaannmnny4y4c30j8q55a3wlk49haslga2snypdx8 (at the end, very cordial, etc.)

Interesting take though for the third guy. Patents? Hmmm... 🤔

I believe he has worked with him. But most probably he’s honest when he says he doesn’t know him and doesn’t care to know him.
