WTF? This is turning out to be pretty weird. Why is the world starting to accept this as fact all of the sudden?
http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-new-satoshi-nakamoto-rumors/

Craig Wright has failed to place evidence that he is Satoshi Nakamoto. He even stated this" "I believed that I could do this. I believed that I could put the years of anonymity and hiding behind me. But, as the events of this week unfolded and I prepared to publish the proof of access to the earliest keys, I broke. I do not have the courage. I cannot." He also offered public apology since he doesnt have enough evidence to back up his claims. I don believe Craig Wright to be Satoshi Nakamoto.

he isnt satoshi, he just didnt think the community would recognise the signature

as being a publicly available string of text for the last 7 years

he thought people wouldnt pick up on it so quick. so had to play backtrack
i feel sorry for all the investors he has conned

Don't bother reading it. The article just contains a bunch of speculation and innuendo. It contains no facts.

Here is the article with all the fluff taken out:

I didn't think Craig Wrght was Satoshi at first. He sure has a shit personality. He is a real fucking proper wanker if you ask me.

he is not satoshi.
the article says "relates to craig wright"

which made me look back at the research rabbit hole of who first introduced craig wright at a conference a few years back.. that RELATED person being nick szabo..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdvQTwjVmrE

to re-open the can of worms of Szabo maybe being satoshi.
eg "nick got craig to play along as craig being satoshi, to take some finger pointing away from nick himself"
where the first finger pointing years ago was due to szabo's pre bitcoin 'bitcash' concept that inspired satoshi, years after bitcash was conceived.

but knowing coindesk is writing the article.. im sure the other old inspirations will mention adam back due to coindesks attachment to blockstream.

then a further 2 cents. adam back will proclaim he is satoshi, just so everyone should rush and buy into his LN commrecial hubs concepts...
blockstreams scripts are easy to predict.

and this is why craig wright fails the "who is satoshi"
he is into law and forensics and see's bitcoin being used
https://youtu.be/4GuqlQvFYJo?t=1m40s

satoshi hated the idea of identifying people/corporate marketing of data

Perhaps you've heard of it already -- there happen to be some strange people in this world who are fond of the idea of "alternative facts" (which in fact are, of course, merely falsehoods/lies). Who cares much about all those Satoshi Nakamoto rumours these days anyway... whether he is Satoshi or not (most likely not), Bitcoin is Bitcoin, a network that operates on a cryptographic protocol.

Arbitrary articles designed for clickbait such as the one you linked seem quite bland to me (just like this topic's title "As it turns out, Craig Wright actually is Satoshi!"). The article's beginning "If the gossip at a recent invite-only bitcoin conference is any indication (...)" is enough to understand what it is all about. So boring!

knowing barry silbert of coindesk also has ownership stake in blockstream im guessing it will be a story of how adam back(blockstream ceo) is "one of the 4" satoshi's
by talking about his 1997 hashcash.

it could also be looking at craig wrights first appearance in the bitcoin scene via a skype call at a different conference a couple years ago where nick szabo introduced craig wright.

thus saying its a 4 way team of
nick szabo,
craig wright,
adam back
and a mysterious 4th party.

in short its one mysterious single party and the other 3 are non-satoshi's just trying to get some notoriety for different reasons

.. well thats my 2 cents

I didn't think Craig Wrght was Satoshi at first. He sure has a shit personality. He is a real fucking proper wanker if you ask me. But, now that the truth is coming out, I guess we have to accept it.

One thing is for sure, HE thinks he is satoshi. He filed a SHITLOAD of Bitcoin patents and that IP portfolio could only come from someone who thinks they are the true inventor. I was expecting a much nicer guy to be Satoshi I must admit.

sidenote.
adam back and szabo's concepts from years prior to bitcoin did inspire the single entity of satoshi. but adam back was not involved in bitcoins development, neither adam or nick the user behind the name satoshi,

nick did do something for bitcoin but again did not use the satoshi name.

in short its one mysterious single party who is satoshi.. and the other 3 are non-satoshi's, but just trying to get some notoriety for different reasons
.. well thats my 2 cents

It is plausible that he is Satoshi but actually wanted to throw everyone of the scent by making it look like he was trying to bluff it..... Sad

he did say that it wasnt his decision to come forward, no?

Coindesk strikes again with article without sources. Haven't heard anything about Wright lately.

Major news outlets are once again said to be conducting an investigation into the story, with releases coming out as early as next month.

All right, bring it on. Until then, nice attempt from Coindesk to have a few more clicks on their website.
