Hiding in plain sight.
Awww man.. i have a swollen face from a bad tooth right now
but you just made me laugh so hard AHAHHAHA
I sure as hell would be out of the running.
I see Satoshi and many Altcoin guys as having a very high working grasp of Math.
And wow i sure as hell do not.
I am handicapped because of this.
Sadly for many years trying to learn how to code etc that is ALWAYS the big barrier i run into.
Anyway enough about me i want to talk about TPB_Needs_war.
he is a brilliant.. a bloody genius for sure.
But i have harped on him at times to try and dummy down some comments
simply for the sake of the majority (myself included) *getting* what he is saying.
If your genius is hidden in overly complicated and long few people will appreciate them
and i think that is a crime !
So i have seen a few discussions on Satoshi speculating on his identity.
And i have always considered that he may be just a few guys who worked together.
Like there may actually be a REAL Satoshi but he may have had key starting help in secret or something.
Like maybe he and 2 other guys created the WhitePaper together then it was
simply posted by one of them under that name.
I am leaning towards that theory the most and not Satoshi being one man.
I wonder if he is gone somehow though.
If he does have a LOT of coins he may think it's best to never show his face ever again.
Think of it as a market stability issue.
Imagine him being gone and half the world thinking he lost his private keys or died etc.
Then consider if he shows his face and speaks..
This could introduce a level of Paranoia over all that he may dump his coins.
Whether he would or not wouldn't matter.. just saying hey guys i am alive is enough to create instability.
This story from way back was fascinating i think..
