😳 HBO’s new

documentary claims Canadian crypto expert nostr:npub1ej493cmun8y9h3082spg5uvt63jgtewneve526g7e2urca2afrxqm3ndrm is Bitcoin’s elusive creator, #Satoshi Nakamoto. Todd has dismissed the idea as “ludicrous.”

The mystery of Satoshi continues to intrigue both cryptocurrency enthusiasts and the public, raising questions about identity, innovation, and decentralized finance. With Nakamoto’s wallet reportedly holding around $69 billion worth of Bitcoin, revealing their identity could significantly impact the industry.

Satoshi’s anonymity, however, is seen by many as integral to Bitcoin’s decentralized ethos, focusing on collective innovation rather than individual authority. Despite past claims pointing to figures like Dorian Nakamoto or Craig Wright, the creator’s true identity remains elusive. This raises the question: Is unmasking Satoshi necessary, or does their anonymity reinforce the principles of cryptocurrency? #Nostr #Bitcoin #asknostr 🤔

You can ask this question. I would say the case is closed and it is Peter Todd. And to answer the question is journalistic work. It is not that much a question of if it is good or not in my eyes. He was now revealed. And the case is closed. No erruption happened.

In some time, it won't matter

I have to wonder if anyone's considered the idea that in some deep state team, they were developing the means of doing a controlled CBDC, and along the way, someone decided to take what they had and put out a liberating standard instead of going forward with it.

Alternatively, we could get paranoid: it's a deep state project all along, designed to bring people into developing the more controlled systems, and at some point Satoshi's coins will "leak" all at once, causing a flash crash as a huge flash of liquidity floods the market. This isn't terribly unlike the prospect of what happens when quantum computers break the early wallets (and really, could happen all at the same time, as presumably Satoshi's coins aren't using modern solutions aimed at mitigating the quantum threat). At the end of the day, provided enough wallets ARE safe from the quantum threat, this would likely just be a bit of volatility (and the biggest buy-on-dip opportunity in a long time), but wouldn't necessarily be a kill shot. Time will tell.
