First of all, that "Alex" name should be changed with "theymos". His name is not Alex... And I don't know who can be this Alex
Thanks for your comment, I can assure you that I know Theymos's name, at least because we have common birthday dates.
[+-24h]This is not the first time that I have confused the names of people ... There are many reasons that could explain this oddity, but it is not that important, and all the same, I will remain mysteriously strange, in the end I must have my own distinctive feature.
[Like Foxpup, with his weekly publications from the future.]OK, that's odd--you just had "Alex" in place of "The Pharmacist" a second ago, which you also called me in your last PM. What's up with that? ........... You are a puzzling person, icopress.
The second problem is with the answer itself. If theymos changed his mind and abandoned the idea of publishing Satoshi's PMs and IP, then, basically, the answer should be "Never". However, he stated after that this information would be of a great historic interest
later. Later is not the same with
never, but bear in mind that he still did not say a specific date (year 2045, 2060 etc.).
Nor he said that he will ever post them... Being of historic interest decades later doesn't imply he will publish them (even decades later). Therefore, I think the correct answer should be "Other" (or "Another"), as nobody knows if theymos will disclose this information at all; and, if he will disclose after some "decades", nobody knows after how many decades. It can be after year 2030 or after 2040 or after 2050 and so on... Do you see my point here?
Thanks to
o_e_l_e_o for finding the post we are talking about, and as we can see, the "
Never" answer does not fit, as does the "
2021/25" answer.
I agree with you that Theymos answer does not provide any guarantees, including "
50 years" which he indicated as an example. I did not add the answer option "
other", since I could not remember the quote verbatim
(for how many decades he mentioned). And, in my opinion, this information in 20 years will certainly be of no less historical interest than in 50 years
[although, I am sure, 50 years are indicated as an example], in any case, if I was mistaken for several decades, I added
"+" To the answer. I hope you also understand my point of view
