Why would it need quoting?

I don't really think that when Satoshi will try to spend money and also will destroys Bitcoin economy , he is don't care, cause he will make easy money and just dissapere.

Why would Craig be arrested under "anti-terror" laws?!
Get real!!!

I guess who made that story is someone who joined the initial panic sale, lost a few bucks and have his feelings hurt...

If you were a for-profit trader, you'd know that it's not about what you think, but more about what you expect the others are thinking. Even if there's not a single person panic-selling, the price could still crash simply when/if enough traders predict there will be panic-selling going on.

And as much as you might despise the sheer wealth, aka BTC price, it has fundamental meaning for Bitcoin security.


Was hoping for something not made up by an author.


My annonymous, unconfirmed police source calls bullshit on this story.

It might matter if a douche like Wright would gain control of those coins and/or Bitcoin development.

How about http://silliconangle.com/blog/2016/05/03/Craig-Wright-faces-criminal-charges/index.html

Doesn't matter to you, unless it's your money. 

After eight years of sitting on those coins, you imagine Satoshi is going to spend them in a way that destroys the entire Bitcoin economy?  I'll say you don't have much to worry about, and if you weren't fetishizing sheer wealth, so would you. 

One. Million. Bitcoins.

Yeah, it kinda matters a lil bit.

buy a goddamn clue already, people.

Who Satoshi is doesn't matter.

Who claims to be Satoshi doesn't matter.

Who can and can't sign something with one of Satoshi's keys doesn't matter (much).

Bitcoin matters.  It stands or it falls.  

There is NO reason for Satoshi to reveal himself/herself/themselves.  NONE.   (See PS. below)  And -- THINK ABOUT THIS -- No reason for any of you to care who Satoshi was.  

Whether Bitcoin stands or falls is not determined by who Satoshi was.  Has nothing to do with it, in fact.  That is nothing but a distraction and you're behaving like hysterical children over it.  Hysterical children, I might add, that nobody wants to do business with.

Bitcoin stands or fails depending on its community.  The technical soundness is "good enough" at this point, but even if it's perfect that is necessary but not sufficient for its success.  It stands or fails on depending on its community.  That's right, on you guys.  You guys who are fighting and bickering and backbiting and getting into fights over "proof" of something that doesn't matter.  You guys who are demonstrating a complete lack of the kind of calm rational judgment required to use this system in a way which allows  commerce and business to be built.  You guys who are treating each other the way sociopaths whom nobody wants to do business with treat each other.  You guys who are hoarding the currency rather than building businesses on it or supporting businesses that use it, you guys who are talking revolution and subversive activities and and seeking to undermine government financial planning (Yes, some of it is stupid and works against its people but that's the exception not the rule).  You guys, in some cases, who are treating out-and-out murdering  crooks as culture heroes.  You guys who fell for Karpeles' confidence game and then never had a reflective moment about the role your own stupid greed played in that.  

You are the reason Bitcoin isn't getting any traction.  The way you treat each other, your conspiracy theory bullshit, the way you respond to people claiming to have been Satoshi, and your blindly stupid conviction that it matters.  Buy a goddamn clue and act like businesspeople, and this whole thing might succeed.  Keep up this infighting and bickering and radicalism and criminal activity and this getting distracted by such goddamn trivia as who Satoshi was, and you'll destroy what Satoshi (and Hal, and Gavin, and Hearn, and EVERYBODY ELSE) spent their time and energy trying to bring and build.



PS.  In fact right now several governments (starting with the UK, but with Australia not far behind) are quite prepared to file terrorism charges against anyone who makes a credible claim on having been the user of that pseudonym during the time of Bitcoin's development.  It's all about whether it was created in order to facilitate money laundering by "terrorist organizations."  If you've got the "Satoshi" keys, would you really want to come forward and step into that line of fire?  

All you can conclude about anybody who claims to have been Satoshi - whether the claim is truthful or not - is that they have poor judgment.

Craig is not Satoshi. But it looks like he had some kind of contact with the group, Satoshi was part of. Can only think Craig is/was trying position himself for a power grab, with the financial benefits that come with it. Scammy behavior, whoever he is.
Im still maintaining that Ira Klieman has infos, that would answer the pertinent questions. 

What would be Craig Wrights motive for all this, he should knew that his lie would last only for couple of days the most.Nobody can be that stupid,or maybe he really is Satoshi and that all is somehow his move we just dont get it.

Wheres my dogpound at?
  Think that will go over a few peoples heads.

This may trigger more copycats trying to cash in on a quick bump in fame to hawk a product or two.
Hope that we do not go down that road as it would be a bad look for the community as the media then parades the disgraced folks out to point at bitcoin as a monster.

If it's the beginning of May, I must be in London: https://www.facebook.com/sineadoconnor/posts/1096917977013856 Aliens must be adding some experimental shit to its fog.

Wow Craig Wright scrapped his entire showy website and left that sentimental message on the way out. I guess he is the first cryptographically busted con artist and what he tried to do is really shameful. But I still can't understand why he did this. Was it for money, fame or something else?

he hasn't and he won't. if you take a bit of time and look around you'll find out that he did make promise to present an "extraordinary proof" which we never got. instead he backed down, pretty much said "sorry guys, I really am satoshi but I changed my mind so I won't give you any more proof" (that's my interpretation of it).

he has not yet supplied any information to public about his claim to be the real satoshi and he wants to move the coins in the following days!

what is next he is going to move coins from block 100s and say i am satoshi because i have early access!

Its really the BBC's mistake as to why this hoaxer has gone famous.

... pretty late

Die sig spammer.

well that is a very good news for bitcoins as we waited for this for long time now, i don't think that it will have huge impact on bitcoin price, but bitcoin users will be happy to know that

it's like to know secret identity of super heroes, nothing large but people still like that, even this post got so many attention in 4 days, awesome news
