So, Satoshi Nakamoto left the scene when Wikileaks started accepting bitcoin donations as he predicted would happen, and when Gavin told him that he's going to hold an audience with the CIA to discuss how bitcoins will be used for porn (among other things), again, just like Satoshi predicted would happen.
Satoshi: Hey, Candy, now that we're in private chat, will you show me the upper left-hand quadrant of your right nipple for eight satoshis?
Candy: Give me thirty satoshis and I'll show you the whole nipple.
Satoshi: Can't do, girlfriend. I'm still waiting for confirmations on a deposit I made going on 24 hours now, so I'm low on satoshis. How 'bout ten satoshis for you to put your index finger in your mouth and get it nice and wet? Hey, before you do that, about how many micropayments do you make on average per day?
