Why are so many people so awful at probability, statistics, and critical thinking?
This is embarrassing and not that far off from Pizzagate-tier "coincidences" shit. And even if it weren't, who the fuck is so grandiose and pretentious as to proclaim essentially "I found Satoshi guys, case closed"? Absolute confidence and certainty in an analysis is the first red flag that someone is peddling horseshit.
Several parts of this actually had me laughing. Basically Dorian Nakamoto all over again. More proof anyone able to decently produce a Youtube video and talk in a confident voice can convince smoothbrains into believing almost any garbage. And since I know a high percentage of Zig Forums is now composed of Zig Forumstards who swallow up any infographic or Youtube/Bitchute video as canon, this thread is probably about to be flooded by retards who think this is convincing. Youtube/reddit "investigators" are a scourge.
I don't get why people are obsessed with "finding" the guy anyway. Even if he's alive, he hasn't done anything for what, a decade now?

It's fucking Nick Szabo the guy thought up bitgold way back in 1998. 10 years later Bitcoin whitepaper comes out. Now delet this.

it's propaganda. I just don't understand how dumb they have to be to think this propaganda is worth creating. What percentage of people will ever be aware of the scaling debate, then what percent of that group would not use something that gave them profit even if it was "centralized" which of course it isn't

I understand the interest just due to it being a pretty big and weird mystery. It's kind of historically unprecedented, as far as I know. But people have been looking for so long that anyone claiming to have solved it needs incredibly damning evidence, and this isn't even mediocre evidence.
My personal baseless guess is he's probably alive and will eventually donate/give away his Bitcoin at some later point in his life, or if he thinks he might die soon.
True for anyone making the claim they're Satoshi themselves, but for people trying to discover who it is, this wouldn't be relevant.
I don't think Szabo can be totally ruled out but the case for him isn't super strong, in my opinion. He might be the most likely suspect, but my guess is that it's someone who actually hasn't been publicly considered before.
Doubtful, I think it's just a Youtuber from reddit trying to make a buck. I think he genuinely believes he found Satoshi but is too dumb to understand the principles of actual rigorous investigation. There are lots of Youtuber "video essayists" like these popping up every month, and they're all about as retarded as this dude
If you have even a little bit of knowledge about the history of bitcoin, a little bit of understanding about the small list of potential candidates it could be, and watched this documentary, and dont think Adam is Satoshi then that makes you the smooth brain
Been into Bitcoin on /g/ since 2011 and have been vaguely interested in the Satoshi mystery since then. Yes, I watched this "documentary" (read: shitty Youtube video essay made by a teenager or mental teenager). I didn't take the effort to look into the other allegations against Adam (and don't really care either way), but as for the central point of him being Satoshi, the evidence is total dogshit.
I had this same reaction the day the Dorian Nakamoto article came out. I read it and was like "this is such complete bullshit" and then saw lots of people taking it seriously. I see it happen every day on Zig Forums with hundreds of inane conspiracy theories, too. So many people just seem incapable of Bayesian reasoning and critical evaluation of evidence and counter-evidence, especially on places like Zig Forums, reddit, and Youtube. Instead of Eternal September it's like Eternal Loose Change.
Case in point. Let me guess, you thought this Satoshi video was convincing too, right?
Adam Back is reference #6 in the holy whitepaper. Nobody checked his bio since.

Something as simple as writing style can be a dead giveaway. The writing styles are so similar that it's cope to claim otherwise. >b-but C++ coders type in similar ways!! Lmao at that cope

I didn't notice the same poster ID. Either way, you predictably seem gullible enough to fall for two conspiracy theories: that this video is "propaganda" and that Pizzagate isn't bullshit. I would bet some money that you believe in at least 5 of the following conspiracy theories: 9/11 inside job/Jews, Sandy Hook, Seth Rich murder, Holocaust fake, Osama bin Laden still alive, vaccines cause autism, AGW is a hoax, moon landing fake. And I would bet that you will reply to this post trying to argue about how [X theory] is actually real.
You sure got me with that Youtube video from that Youtube channel. But yeah, thanks once again. You never see people believe in just one or two conspiracy theories. The deficiency that causes them to believe one also causes them to believe almost any theory they hear.
And when two conspiracy theorists/morons are in dispute, they both believe different yet equally ridiculous things. Like all the retards replying to this video saying it's so dumb and that Craig Wright is obviously Satoshi, not unlike your response to this allegation is that it's some propaganda plot from some cryptocurrency cartel
You're the conspiracy theorist here, there is about 5 possible candidates, and a bunch if coincidences and anecdotal evidence points to one of those guys, but you choose to ignore the evidence and instead believe with zero evidence that it must be some other random mystery person who doesn't leave a trace, except for when he does leave a trace, in which case you just ignore it
You posses the mentality of an argumentive 8 year old who refuses to accept that he lost an argument. You saying "well you guys are wrong because sometimes people can be wrong" is laughable, "some people believe in UFOs and whacky conspiracies and stuff so he can't be Satoshi"
why were you compelled to make this thread? because you are triggered bud. you should re-evaluate what you're doing here on this image board. your anger only makes the fools laugh harder. about your opinion though, it's just that.
Aiden Collins
probably not, you should watch the video. the satoshi stuff is kind of secondary to blockstream's takeover of bitcoin and subsequent botching of scaling
