He is really smart and has intimate knowledge about Bitcoin, the markets, and the world at large.
Seems like a good candidate.
I have seen some videos of him and I doubt he is satoshi, he doesn't seem to have deep technical knowledge of bitcoin, he understands it well and knows how it works and so on, but not at a technical level, which would be a requirement to be a satoshi proposal.
I still think Adam Back is a potential satoshi, he was credited in the whitepaper. I also think Nick Szabo is still a decent candidate. But Gmaxwell and PWuille are also potential satoshis... we can't know.
My money is on Nick Szabo, but for some reason I seem to think that Satoshi is not a individual... but rather a small group of people. Can you
imagine if Satoshi turns out to be some whack job that believe in Aliens and even worst inspired by Aliens to create this technology. It is for
reasons like this, that we should not know who Satoshi is, so that we cannot judge.
I used to think Nick Szabo was the real Satoshi too. Then he did a talk at Ethereum's developers conference which made me think that it could not be him. The real Satoshi, I do not think will support Ethereum. If you ask why, search for Peter Todd's and Adam Back's and GMaxwell's opinions on Ethereum. I am not a technical person but it is easy to pick up that those 3 BTC developers already knew Ethereum will not work.
You all "think" alot these days.
Truth is none of you long time bitcointalkers know anything.
All you can do is hodl and prey....
Obvious choice will not be Satoshi.
Clif High is closer than all of your guesses.
All you do is try to create FUD. Guess what? It is not working because it is only you who "thinks" he knows better above everyone. Look at how strong the Bitcoin market is. No one is listening to you everyone wants to buy and prey. Accept it, outside of Bitcoin it is the same.
