No it will not affect the price most likely although I love the fact its finally over with the whole thing about satoshi.
We can finally close this whole chapter.

Anyone who trades based on this news is a pretty bad trader. I have no clue who invented most of the technology I use today. And it certainly does not change the protocol to know who wrote the protocol, no more than the answer to a math problem is determined by who is holding the calculator.
But what if the one holding the calculator is... Hitler?

If Hitler is holding his own laptop, OTOH... might bamboozle you.

OMG your right!!!
I just asked Hitler to multiply 3867 x 2 and when he did the answer was 7734. When I turned the calculator upside down it spelled hELL !!!! What does it mean? Embarrassed

It's time all you nay sayers in denial accept and praise the founder of bitcoin.
Behold, the Opposite Oracle has spoken. If kwukduck says it, it must be false. Hoax confirmed (as if it wasn't already).

I don't really mind if Satoshi turns out to be a bankrupt tax cheat, but Australian?! FFS!

After Gavin confirmed that Craig Wright was Satoshi, I believe most people will take this as the truth. What does it mean for the $1 bil BTC address, and what effect will it have on the price short and mid term?

The initial reaction seams negative with BTC dropping about $8 so far.

If you don't see a bitcoin-signed message from the genesis address (1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa) then it's not Satoshi. I don't see that. Craig is not Satoshi.

he said in the interview that he was forced to get out of his limbo, i'm wondering who forced him to get out and say that he is supposedly, satoshi

Well, it sounds like bilge to me and as ever in Bitcoinland it's borderline impossible to figure out what's actually going on. It would be nice to get this 1 million coin thing settled in peoples' heads once and for all though. That's always been a needless boogeyman.

he didn't hack or fake a new bitcoin/pgp signature. what he did is taking an input script from years old transaction, convert it to base64, and added a line of text which is not a part of the signature. and somehow fooled gavin with it.

here's hoping that most bitcoiners won't be fooled also.

IMO the creator of bitcoin was Dave Kleiman, and the 1 million BTC are not yet under the control of Craig Wright, who is taking more credit than he deserves.

usually when things like this happens, there will be slight panics in the short term basis but as we go along everything will stable again however the recent crash might not be correlated to this news and rather mor of a normal market manipulation that actually happened last week as well but it was short term and eventually was stable until it began again.

The thread title is missleading.
Gavin did not confirmed that Wright is Satoshi. He wrotes in his blog to believe that Wright is Satoshi.
And to be honest Gavin can believe as much as he wants.
As long as Wright does not sign a message or moves one of the coins he can claim to be Satoshi as long as he wants.
I doubt it very strongly. And if Gavin wasn't hacked and decided to play this hoax together with Wright he deserves some serious kicks in his suspicious butt. His commit access had been already revoked.Good!

There is literally nothing that can confirm Craig Wright is in fact Satoshi.

And those who panic sell just because of this are even dumber.

At least it offers people a good chance to enter the market at decent prices.

Have to say...this Satoshi story is setting off my untruth alarm bells, just like it did the first time around....


....but then again, I am not exactly well placed to know for sure, or to even know what it was that Craig Wright done to 'prove' that he is Satoshi Nakamoto.

Until we get simple proof we can check ourselves we don't know if it's a scam or not. This reddit comment sums up how I feel. I'll be throwing tomatoes without hard cryptographic proof within two days.
