No. Wright is impersonating Satoshi in order to get attention (very dangerous, BTW). All of the "evidence" makes far more sense in that light.
Are you stating this as fact or opinion?

Didn't understand what you meant.
BTW, do you guys think this "revelation", false or true, helps to explain the recent rise in bitcoin price??

Up until now, I've accepted an assumption that Satoshi Nakamoto, whomever he was, is probably dead.
However, after reading that article from Wired, I'm certainly willing to consider the possibility that Mr. Craig Steven Wright could either be Satoshi or could have been part of a small team of people that worked together in the creation of Bitcoin.
I'm not 100% convinced yet, but there is enough circumstantial evidence to consider the possibility.

Tottally agree. Very accurate arguments are presented in the article!

Just more mindless speculation. I can't believe that after the big, BIG fail these guys made last time with the poor old japanese man, they are still trying to play inspector gadget.
That was Newsweek, but Wired did have a massive Bitcoin-based fail in, I believe, late 2012; they branded Bitcoin "expired". The rest, as they say...

the real killer that made the story not plausible is that the real satoshi didnt have 1.1million bitcoins.
wired didnt realise that not only satoshi, but hal finney and a few others were actually mining and debugging it right from the start.. meaning there is far less than 1.1mill bitcoin associated just with satoshi.. plus satoshi lost quite a few privleys when changing the wallet/privkey storage mechanism.. thus the real satoshi definitely wont hold 1.1mill coins
and so a PDF saying that wright had 1.1mill bitcoins are stored in a legal 'tulip trust'.. is just wrong, and thus bursts the speculation bubble and makes me think that Wright is just trying to pretend he is satoshi for some 'five minute fame'
so im not convinced.. the story kinda fell apart when magically all this info was 'leaked'.. yea i think wright released fake emails to start speculation.

Now we have to wait and see if this will be another story of Dorian Nakomoto. We still have not enough hard evidence pointing towards Wright.
His background is one thing but so they said about Dorian. But I gotta say that all facts presented by Wired seems pretty convincing so far.

One question which is yet unanswered: Nobody seems to have known him, but nevertheless, he was invited to the Vegas-conference. Why? Why was he invited, when the other participant's socks were of more interest to Michele?

Very interesting read, I will keep a close eye on this and do some research of my own..

Well as the title implied there's no clear answer but it's an interesting read for sure. Banksy's identity is the only similar case that comes to mind, although that one I think was more or less confirmed.

Wait, I thought it was just another bitcoin CEO

My initial reaction to the evidence that Wired presented is that Wright is trying to make it appear as if he is Satoshi. Wired even mentioned that some of the blog posts were apparently edited as recently as 2013/2014 which makes me skeptical that they were actually written/posted when they claim to be posted.
This could mean that he is trying to slowly reveal that he is satoshi in a way that will result in him not being thought of a god, or have significant influence in Bitcoin and it's further development. It could also mean that he is attempting to impersonate satoshi.
Interestingly enough, it seems that the price of bitcoin is increasing by several percentage points in recent minutes, although I cannot say for sure if this is related to this story or not.

I think even if he would step up and say "I'm Satoshi Nakamoto", a lot of Bitcoiners wouldn't believe it.
Furthermore, some may see him as a threat. In the few years Bitcoin exists, some Bitcoiners took Satoshi's paper as some kind of techno-bible: "But Satoshi wrote..." Just imagine how their world may shake if Craig Steven Wright could say something differing from what's in the paper...
But most of all: Funny how Michele Seven would have made a fool out of herself...

This story makes sense.

I think it's impossible that only one person can develop and thinking "all aspects" of this software/protocol.
by the way a genius with 4 hands at least!
