what is more concerning is Gavin Andresen seemingly buying this bullshit. Very alarming.
Gavin apparently was able to personally verify the signature of a signed message signed by 12c6DSiU4Rq3P4ZxziKxzrL5LmMBrzjrJX which received the block subsidy of the first block after the genesis block. From what I have read, an administrative assistant to Wright purchased a new laptop and USB stick that Gavin then used to download a copy of electrum and verify the signed message. It is possible that the laptop was in fact not newly purchased but was instead previously tampered with.
From what I can gather, some people are trying to make this somewhat of a blocksize debate instead of a debate of how realistic it is that Wright is in fact satoshi.
This may be a naive question (in fact, I'm sure of it!), but if this event took place, why can't we see evidence of it on the ledger? And, why wouldn't the proof have been published on the block chain? Isn't that the purpose of the ledger....to remove the third party from the system?
You are right, the whole idea is to remove the 3th party, and the mainstream media, is owned by and controlled by third-parties, that also have been the masses slave-masters for centuries. They dont want to give their power away, this must be somekind of scam they are pulling to confuse the masses in the hope the get a few more years of control.. am I right about this??
I have to say that I meet so many people, that I tried to talk about Bitcoins and related topics, and many of them, maybe 90%, either:
1. do not understand the basic idea of bitcoin and removing 3th party trust
or
2. refuse to talk about the real meaning of bitcoin and removing 3th party trust, and just play stupid to protect them self.
What is confusing for me, is that it is so few people that I can talk with about bitcoin, and having a meaningfull conversation in real life, are you here on the forum experiencing the same??? And I have talked to ALOT of people regarding Bitcoin.
