Seems odd. For years Gavin holds out against all the community's SN questions then "regrettably" tells a reporter everything?

I hope he is real Satoshi. If he is real Satoshi, he has lot of powder to protect himself and his family, he'd be not first or last rich guy out there.
If he's not, then he might be in trouble and he should sue the heck out of Newsweek and get that powder to protect himself and his family.

That journalist is insane and ruthless.
He just condemned the poor guy to death sentence, whether he is The Nakamoto or not.

Almost sounds like a piece one would find on The Onion. I'm a little surprised they didn't wait until April Fool's Day to run it.

I'm hoping the newsweek article is fake, but Gavin Andresen's tweet pretty much confirms all this: https://twitter.com/gavinandresen/status/441547758827474946
I feel bad for Nakamoto, but even if the article correctly portrays him, this guy's worst nightmare just happened. However, I bet the guy has a plan, expect him to disappear again, he was training his kids from a young age on tactics to avoid government agents, etc.... I'm sure he might even have an alternate life setup somewhere. It was an incredible dick move to ALSO expose his children. What the hell? It's like she basically wrote down a directions list for how to kidnap someone.

You can summarize this long rant into "I'm right, even if I'm not right". Religious nuts like these create more harm then good to bitcoin imo.
This could be said of you as well.
Whats up with intelligent people arguing desperately against bitcoin in a bitcoin forum like Jorge Trollfi and you, kkaspar?
Is there a point in shouting bitcoin will fail to a group that mostly believe in bitcoin? What if you actually turn out to be right?
You gain absolutely nothing from this. And don't come with the "I'm only here to help" argument. Thats utter bullshit
It's funny that you say that people are actually "arguing against bitcoin". I myself find that bitcoin is an interesting piece of software, but I also find myself arguing against the religious zealots who have gathered around bitcoin.
It's common for religious people to speak in those terms. I have often heard that if I don't agree with the Christian world view, then I'm actually against god. People aren't able to comprehend that there could be different understandings of god and if you don't accept the religious dogmas in Christianity, then you are not against god. It's not surprising to see the same mentality here.
I'm here for the same reasons then most probably are, to read and to speak my mind. I think that bitcoin doesn't need religious worshipping, so I can't see that I have to either worship it or leave. I like to keep an sober mind and take bitcoin as it is. An interesting piece of software that currently is an innovative gambling platform, but what also brought forward ideas that can trigger the start of something more."

I have seen it happen to many of those who looked into the Voynich manuscript. To all but one of them, actually.

I sure hope this is a hoax. I think both Bitcoin and Satoshi will be better off, if Satoshis identity is not known.
EDIT: Adam, time to change the poll perhaps?

The government agencies probably know who he is for years. They have resources that journalists don't have. And if a journalist can find him, well...
And that man worked many years for defense contractors on classified projects...
It is possible however that the man is not the Real Satoshi, and that the reporter stretched the facts a bit to fit a theory that she got excited about but which in the end was not conclusive. Carefully pick one or two sentences from what the relatives actually told her, change a word here and there...

Satoshi likes trains, yes? I wonder how he likes this one.
March 06, 2014, 08:23:01 AM
Why would he have to destroy his btc to protect his family?
In general terms he's not that rich...
Because he probably holds the keys himself (do you think he would trust a bank's safe deposit box or anyone but himself?), and thus could easily be targeted. Torture, kidnapping, blackmail. It's like he's storing hundreds of millions of dollars in cash in his home, and everybody knows about it.In general terms he's not that rich...
What about litecoins creator? He doesnt seem too bothered about being in the public eye. There are ways to protect yourself that don't involve burning millions of $.
How many litecoins does the litecoin creator has, in terms of $$$?

Oh man I'm so pissed right now at this reporter for putting this man and his family in danger. I doubt he really is Satoshi Nakamoto, but whether he is or not there's now a huge target painted on his back because of this reporter. If anything happens to him an angry mob is going to find the author of this article and take out some sweet revenge on him. Maybe even before that happens.
Translation: this article may push Satoshi Nakamoto to cash out a sizeable % of his bitcoins, before destroying the keys for the rest.
And the price would crash again, making my own bitcoins much less valuable.
Stop trolling you moron, this has nothing to do with the bitcoin price we are talking about human lives here. I'm seriously pissed off so fuck off with your crap.
Look, the Miz4r troll suddenly cares about human lives. Touching...
Of course you are pissed off, you'd have to sell now. Or hold and see your precious coins lose value. Tough call.
Look at yourself, all you can think about is money... your family must be so proud of you. Loser.

Really now? Mark Karpeles, the guy that lost close to 1 million Bitcoins is still alive and you do not see any news about his family members getting death threats or robbed. I pretty sure he has more enemies than Satoshi does. Why does it even matter who he is? Everyone knows the creator of Litecoins and it does not change anything other than him promoting it.
come on man, you cant compare the creator of litecoin and the one that first came up with the whole cryptocurrency idea... think about all the Secret Services from all over the planet who would just love to "interview" SN. And im not even talking about the huge pile of money Satoshi is sitting on..
edit: and also, if SM indeed have health issues, all that pressure isnt going to help him recover...
He is just going to be harassed from everywhere until he dies.

Yeah, I think 'condemned to a death sentence" is a little exaggerated, but it's fair to say that the article has changed – and possibly endangered – the life of a man who didn't want to be found. But hey, that's journalism.
March 06, 2014, 08:16:41 AM
I am surprised what kind of sissies you are.. Seemingly never had a million dollars yourselves... 
Satoshi is welcome to my castle if he needs protection.

Don't you have a new "elite" forum where you're kept tight on goat's loving leash :3
I'd suggest to go there to brag about your million dollar cigars and such. More receptive audience.
