"99.999% likely you don't and you will have to just end your life for being so stupid."

You sound like a jolly kind of dude But thanks for the education on Che, or rather, your viewpoint on him.

Most of what people think Che stands for, is actually the opposite. Everytime I see someone post about "Che" I kind of die inside a little because I know they are extremely confused.

The cult of Ernesto Che Guevara is an episode in the moral callousness of our time. Che was a totalitarian. He achieved nothing but disaster. Many of the early leaders of the Cuban Revolution favored a democratic or democratic-socialist direction for the new Cuba. But Che was a mainstay of the hardline pro-Soviet faction, and his faction won. Che presided over the Cuban Revolution's first firing squads. He founded Cuba's "labor camp" system—the system that was eventually employed to incarcerate gays, dissidents, and AIDS victims. To get himself killed, and to get a lot of other people killed, was central to Che's imagination. In the famous essay in which he issued his ringing call for "two, three, many Vietnams," he also spoke about martyrdom and managed to compose a number of chilling phrases: "Hatred as an element of struggle; unbending hatred for the enemy, which pushes a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him into an effective, violent, selective, and cold-blooded killing machine. This is what our soldiers must become …"— and so on. He was killed in Bolivia in 1967, leading a guerrilla movement that had failed to enlist a single Bolivian peasant. And yet he succeeded in inspiring tens of thousands of middle class Latin-Americans to exit the universities and organize guerrilla insurgencies of their own. And these insurgencies likewise accomplished nothing, except to bring about the death of hundreds of thousands, and to set back the cause of Latin-American democracy—a tragedy on the hugest scale.

The present-day cult of Che—the T-shirts, the bars, the posters—has succeeded in obscuring this dreadful reality. And Walter Salles' movie The Motorcycle Diaries will now take its place at the heart of this cult. It has already received a standing ovation at Robert Redford's Sundance film festival (Redford is the executive producer of The Motorcycle Diaries) and glowing admiration in the press. Che was an enemy of freedom, and yet he has been erected into a symbol of freedom. He helped establish an unjust social system in Cuba and has been erected into a symbol of social justice. He stood for the ancient rigidities of Latin-American thought, in a Marxist-Leninist version, and he has been celebrated as a free-thinker and a rebel. And thus it is in Salles' Motorcycle Diaries.

I kind of hope you know this about him and you were being sarcastic when you said Che will be in our hearts... 99.999% likely you don't and you will have to just end your life for being so stupid.

He's better off not known, else everyone will try to tax him for those bitcoins! :p

You're all wrong

Satoshi is just the Ghost in the Machine...

Even if he defects to the NSA now, he won't be able to do anything now. The Bitcoin has grown too big... and no one including Satoshi can terminate it now.

Unfortunately this is where these Satoshi threads end up ..... they should be killed at birth. Save us all the pain.

So , by your post your express your desire for some nude "chick" photos , am I right?

What if Satoshi is Janet Yellen? I've heard she has some Japanese characters tattooed on the small of her back. Unfortunately, all photos of her in a bikini seem to have been deleted from the internet... I believe it's a cover-up.

Now he's much more interesting, and not really dead, just faking it for the DEA + FEDs

How could we resist?!

I am hoping (in  vain) people's new year's resolution is to stop talking about Satoshi

What's the reasoning or evidence for this?

How do you know that was him? Just curious?

That's what I have been saying for the past many months. And the project was run by a large number of people. It wasn't dependent on a single individual.

From his last post, it doesn't sound like he was anticipating going away. He was just releasing 0.3.19 and he said there was more work to do.

Any proof of this? Whilst it is of course possible, I think it'd be even more improbable to remain anonymous if there was a group of people, especially in charge of around a billion dollars worth of coins.

I love the "at the moment" part of the title .... like he's dead now, but he'll be returning in 2020 to collect his earnings

Satoshi Nakamoto is a code name for the bitcoin project.
It's not a person.

I reckon it's best those coins stay stationary. If they do ever get moved I hope they're drip fed out and not dumped all at once. Depends on the motivations of the individual in charge of them.
