That's a fascinating theory. Well J.F. Nash was certainly a genius. He was incapacitated by schizophrenia for many years but made a recovery, and has been lucid again for some while. His biography states that computing and programming helped him overcome his illness, and that he began collaborating online with other mathematicians.
I would love it if it did turn out that Nash invented bitcoin. He created Game Theory and Hex so why not?
Only thing is he is quite an old man now. Somehow I find it hard to believe that someone of his age could create something as technologically far-sighted, and in particular write the code for bitcoin. I haven't met many people in their late 70s / 80s who are good at this kind of thing - no offence to them :-)
Fascinating theory though!

The inventor of bitcoin is not known. It was not known to be created by a group of people, it was an anonomous paper released under the fake name: satoshi Nakamoto.
https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
this is a 9 page paper that is the foundation of bitcoin.
this paper is the bargaining problem by Nash http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/cs286r/courses/spring02/papers/nash50a.pdf
it has nine pages 9
What it describes is the differnce between an economy without money vs one that has money. Bit coin is the 3rd level of that as it does what money does to the next level.
The paper/lecture below is by nash on something called ideal money, which is money that is interest free and not controled by a central bank. Bitcoin IS ideal money.

We expect "satoshi nakamoto" is japenese. When you take out "I am Nash" you are left with "sato" and "koto" Japenese is the key because if you didn't know the language then you could never match the words to verify the code cracking sato = the most popular japenese nam koto = japan's national instrument
The time lapse between the release of 'bitcoin' paper, and the time someone figures out it was nash IS the plan. It is a suspense and drama, in which all the goverments create regulations against bitcoin. But when bitcoin is adopted by the people, these government regulations are just going to make it harder (therefore less desierible) for people to ever go back to the real system.
Bitcoin is a carefully selected 'piece' of the real plan, released in such away that no one could piece together what Nash was doing
