yes its true. the around the same time gavin decided to accept the invitation to speak at the cia thats when satoshi nakamoto decided to go away.

whoever the real nakamoto is , it's clear that he/she was/is very paranoid of government and wants nothing to do with bitcoin as soon as government starts asking questions.

He disappeared from public view before that. His famous "hornet's nest" post (his second last, made in December 2010) was in response to a PC Magazine article about Wikileaks and Bitcoin.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.29280

He appealed to Wikileaks not to use Bitcoin, believing that an association between the two could destroy Bitcoin.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.26999

Gavin did not announce the planned visit to the CIA until April 2011, over 4 months after Satoshi disappeared from public view.

https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=6652.0

He didn't announce it publicly but it appears he announced it to Satoshi before then.

He did announce it here, and actually saw this as a preventive measure against having bitcoin considered something invented to break the law. Gavin wasn't in any way "approached" he got an invitation to talk at a convention i think.

WTF!!!!!

is this true? Huh

If this is true, who here doesn't believe that it is the CIA that has those 900k coins of Satoshi's???

Why is it that Bitcoiners believe that they're among the smartest people on the planet for understanding the concept of cryptocurrency and recognising its value and yet they fail so spectacularly at reading comprehension and logic on a regular basis?

There is nothing more stupid and embarrassing than a "hero member" who fails at obvious scenario of simple causation.

Nothing makes me laugh more when dumb ass hero members pat themselves on the back for buying bitcoin early and assuming everyone else is stupid without even the briefest pause for second thought.

Is the Earth round or flat?

Columbus believed the earth was flat and on his journey to India (well .. USA, lol) he was scared his ship may fall off an edge of earth.

I'm not sure when and how the earth started becoming round.

I remember reading that among others, the CEO of Yahoo was recently threatened with treason unless she cooperated with the NSA and the data access requests.

It could very well be the same in this situation, and once Gavin had the meeting he was threatened as well. Satoshi could have known this was exactly what was going to happen and didn't want any part of it.

It's proven that people don't generally read comprehensively. They skim. It's been studied, at length. Google it.

So I guess we're all blaming Galvin for SN's identity leak?

There is no "leak" of an identity. The Newsweek reporter states all the steps (clearly) that he took to try and ID this person. Anyone can do it and otehrs have gone that exact route before.

This is probably a good time to remind newbies that you can read all the posts Satoshi made here as well as the thread related to Gavin's CIA visit.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/satoshi-3

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/gavin-will-visit-the-cia-6652

Accusations that Satoshi dumped Bitcoin because of Gavin talking to the CIA have certainly been made before.

I haven't heard about this hornet's nest post before, I guess mostly because I'm not that much into spy novels Wink

But it is nice to get this info from you. Now i understand why he is keeping low.
