Whether or not he is right, that is a pretty good presentation.

I don't see why the fact that he is reading from a script is significant.

There was a weird contradiction. He claims that Shinichi is Satoshi, but also that the emails were written by his son. Perhaps he is wrong and his son is Satoshi.

I would like to point out that a person does not have to be a native speaker of English to have an excellent grasp of the language. Read Lolita by Nabokov. Nabokov is a native of Russia, but has an incredible command of the English language that surpasses most native English speakers.

dude.. it's not his son! He said Satoshi san.
San

Haha. I'm stupid (and therefore not Satoshi).

Huh What does that even mean?

San

San (さん [saɴ]?) (sometimes pronounced han (はん?) in Kansai dialect), derived from sama (see below), is the most commonplace honorific, and is a title of respect typically used between equals of any age. Although the closest analog in English are the honorifics "Mr.", "Miss", or "Mrs.", -san is almost universally added to a person's name, “-san” can be used in both formal and informal contexts, and for either gender. Because it is the most common honorific, it is also the most often used to convert common nouns into proper ones, as seen below.

San may be used in combination with workplace nouns, so a bookseller might be addressed or referred to as honya-san ("bookstore" + san), and a butcher as nikuya-san ("butcher's shop" + san).

San is sometimes used with company names. For example, the offices or shop of a company called Kojima Denki might be referred to as "Kojima Denki-san" by another nearby company. This may be seen on small maps often used in phone books and business cards in Japan, where the names of surrounding companies are written using san.

San can also be attached to the names of animals or even inanimate objects. For example, a pet rabbit might be called usagi-san, and fish used for cooking can be referred to as sakana-san. Both uses would be considered childish (akin to "Mr. Rabbit" in English) and would be avoided in formal speech. Even married people often refer to their spouse with san.

Online, Japanese gamers often append a numeral 3 to another player's name to denote san (e.g. Taro3 conveys Taro-san), since the number three is also pronounced san.

 



I found one more connection between Satoshi and Shinichi! Its the use of the term "we"
All the connections that Ted said left a side, the bitcoin paper uses the term "we" like 7 times, and so does almost every paper written by Shinichi!

He also uses  [number] at the bottom of his papers just like the bitcoin paper (it is common to do so i know, but still)

I really think it's Shinichi

I don't see what the OP is talking about. I guess I'm dumb, he he.  I wasted all that time getting degrees in astrophysics, mathematics, engineering, and medicine...just to find out I'm a dummy :-)

OP, do give us the big reveal! What do you see that I can't? I'm genuinely interested and darn curious!

I suspect the current Japan Prime Minister Abe is the real Satoshi Nakamoto.

Bitcoin-abe???

He should simply sign this statement with Satoshi's private key. Otherwise I'm not even wasting time by looking at some "proof" of some weird people.

Care to give us a few examples of this?

Ted Nelson very clearly revealed to the world who the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin actually is... in fact, he revealed it at least two dozen times in the video.

The last time I saw this video, I was convinced he was Atlas' dad.  Smiley

You are aware that Ted's reading a script, aren't you? You can see the teleprompter in his classes, coupled with him correcting himself while he's speaking, as if reading a text.

Maybe it's some form of performance piece, he had to correct himself or else meaning in his script would be lost?  Huh

The revolution will be monetized!
He has some interesting connections. It could be Satoshi... But since it is all speculative, so could I.

Good call.  I see it now.  He really should get anti-reflection coating on his glasses.

I had a similar reaction to his video.  I'd seen him speak before ages ago, so had somewhat of a baseline - I am also a human lie detector and expert profiler.  My gut impression of his subverse, faux-passive confession was that its entirely contrived and intended for dramatic effect.  I watched it twice specifically b/c I thought some aspect of the performance was dishonest/elusive, even if it was mostly heartfelt.  At first I thought he was trying to cover some aspect of Satoshi's link he did not want to disclose...then concluded he is just reaching for the dramatic and/or reverent effect.

Now that you have me thinking on it again, I will have to give it further review.
