Truly inspiring.
Thanks for compiling these citations from "the boss".
This one is probably the most important one. Satoshi scared for his life!
- Dec/12/2010 The latter is devastating.
It would have been nice to get this attention in any other context. WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet's nest, and the swarm is headed towards us.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.26999I don't know if he fears for his life, but he didn't like the idea of Wiki.
Amazing find.
My take about this. Satoshi was working for a company that was a contractor for the US army. He had a security clearance and was not allowed to do Bitcoin because I think that he was using some of his knowledge in coding that was covered by his security contracts.
He was probably at risk to be prosecuted by both his employer and maybe at to some level by the Pentagon. Or maybe killed, who knows.
In his last interview (Bitcoin Conference 2019) Durian Satoshi Sakamoto, the man I think who is the original Satoshi talk to some Japanese radio. He said always the same thing, that he has contract and cannot talk about his activities, but as the talk goes on he was talking about encrypted communication and guided missile technical support.
Clearly, to this days, Satoshi cannot say who he is without getting into some sort of trouble, enough for him to hide totally.
Now it is not impossible that Satoshi changed his name and then was still active with another name. It is hard to think that this guy just abandoned his creation. It would be then interesting to find out
what is this another name.
