he is not satoshi, is yet to be proven, i'm not believeing him, he also does not look like "satoshi" at all

For some amount of time I was persuaded that Craig Wright was Satoshi, but now I realise that there is really no proof to prove this. Some people don't believe that Bitcoin is profitable, they can decide what they want to do with their Bitcoin/

Craig Wright seems to have proved that he is the Satoshi Nakamoto of Bitcoin

and afaik satoshi did not hate gold, since bitcoin is based on it somehow, the mining aspect, the rarity etc...gold inspired it i'm sure

Craig Wright is just an attention seeker. The real Satoshi Nakamoto will never stand for it.

This is completely untrue because:

Craig Wright is not Satoshi.

True, these people are just spreading a lot of hoax regarding the truth of Satoshi.
IMHO, it's only the God who knows that who is Satoshi.

!!! RiSe aBovE ThE StoRm !!!

Even I was shocked thinking that how Satoshi would come ahead and just show up and give so called interviews...
Why would he do so when he is so interested in anonymity???

I thought Satoshi has not touched his bitcoin yet. That was the conclusion of previous research which claimed he got 1 million coins.

I also think so and if we search for the first generated or mined coin than that coin is still untouched. I also believe real satoshi is not anymore alive.

Why do so many people think he is dead? Him not moving his known coins could be for any number of reasons. So could him stepping away from bitcoin, like for his own safety or because he doesn't want to be seen as the figurehead of bitcoin because it is a decentralized currency for everyone and he didn't create it for himself.

No-one believes he's satoshi, unless he signs a legitimate PGP key. All we have is some dodgy evidence and his word. Satoshi always acted business-like and serious, but this guy really seems egotistical. Maybe now, when everyone has eyes on him, he wants bitcoin to drop so he can buy more? Cheesy

Some excerpts from the recent article at ZH (for what it's worth)

Quote

Last Wednesday, we brought you the story of Craig Steven Wright who was “outed” by Wired and Gizmodo as Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous founder of bitcoin

Quote

Mr Wright has alleged payments were made in August 2013 of $38.8m — then the equivalent of 245,103 Bitcoin — for Siemens software and gold from Paynes. He then claimed payments were made to Mr Ferrier of $20.3m — or 135,100 Bitcoin — in September 2013 for the “core software” from Al-Baraka

Quote

The takeaway: if you believe Wright is Satoshi, then the founder of bitcoin is skeptical enough of his creation's intrinsic value compared to hard assets that he was at one time willing to trade a sizeable portion of his cryptocurrency wealth for physical gold

Why am I not surprised?

Dorian does not prefer Bitcoin and Craig is a scammer.

The comparison with gold is a nice one, I've never found it. I also highly doubt that this guys is Satoshi, a bit based on facts and a bit based on the desire to see him stay anonymous.

...

The whole Wright case in Australia is very strange, yet complex.

Besides that, 400,000 BTC is a pretty decent amount which that Mr. Wright had prior to 2013. What is his rank in the Bitcoin pecking order?

Surely, he might know who is Satoshi if he is not him himself

How would you know what satoshi looks like?

I don't think that this guy was satoshi either. I believe that the real satoshi will never come out. Look at what happened with all the fake ones, all the speculations are just too much for 1 person. I also believe that satoshi isn't just one person, but a group of people who came up with bitcoin.

not a troller like this one for sure, based on his technical knowledge, i would assume a more serious guy and a bit more nerdy look

and yes i'm also believing that he can be a group or at least he his the boss of the group

You thought right.
None of the coins which are related to Satoshi have ever moved.
This Mr. Wright is far away from being the real satoshi nakamoto.
But we will hear and read about him for some more time.
As long as the media can make a nice headline with him I think we will have to take it.
Just try to ignore this nonsense.I'm doing it.

I would like to look at one component here: Wright's strange way he wanted to buy gold. Rather than buy, say, from The Perth Mint (Australia after all) or even a Swiss gold refinery, he starts hanging out with a presumably sketchy guy.

WTF is that? Were I looking to offload a bunch of BTC for gold (and yes, if I had a huge holding of BTC I would want the diversification), I would look to buy real gold from a real supplier.

BTC is great, really! But, buying and holding some gold is just a smart thing to do with a HOARD of BTC.

They are saying that Satoshi spent nearly 400,000 BTC (8,000 block rewards) in 2013, yet none of his bitcoins have been moved as far as anyone can tell. How can that be?

He transferred the keys? Or just moved the coins that no one has previously associated with him

Wtf, people are still arguing whether William Shakespeare (an English poet of the 16th century, just in case, lol) was actually the author of the works attributed to him, some other person, or even a group of authors writing under this name...
