The email?

I’m pretty sure the rage reported on it after the emails surfaced

I don’t know what the rage report was but thanks for posting it. Gave them a follow

No prob, I thought it was fake too at first

I have a question everything attitude these days.

I think it’s fake too. Or if it is real, part of the problem the establishment has on its hand is that Satoshi β€œdisappeared” (I think he suicided, legit depressed dude, probably - genius, but suicided), and the other main guy died prematurely, and by then the code and miners were already decentralized enough that They couldn’t wrest back control of what they’d created.

Why do you think satoshi was depressed ? Those people like him usually are depressed.

What writings I’ve seen seem to be a bit ho-hum, I’ve got good ideas, let’s try, but not entirely enthusiastic. Not your typical overly optimistic entrepreneurbro style. Also, there’s a story about the coincidence of a PhD student who was studying in Oxford or Cambridge? around the time of the whitepaper who’s timeline, education, and intersts lined up very neatly with most of what little was known of β€˜Satoshi’, and he committed suicide a few months after Satoshi’s last online post, if I remember the story correctly.

That totally makes sense. Thanks for the back story
