If the Sony Playstation is designed in Japan, why isn't it only in Japanese? Powerful logic here, guys.

Roll Eyes

Post a link to the most popular Japanese forum, then. Given that the creator is Japanese, there should be a massive Japanese following, right?

Nationalism is not a justification. You can't say that the Japanese should like it just because the creator is Japanese. Furthermore, English is the language of money and trade. Someone smart enough to design something like Bitcoin wouldn't be dumb enough to limit it to the Japanese.

Ruby, the programming language, was invented by a Japanese.

Was it popular quite exclusively only in Japanese communities at first?

Actually, yes.

But the internet wasn't so popular yet in the early 90ies.

And yet, both make more sense than your claim that Satoshi is Japanese, solely because he chose a Japanese pseudonym.

Me being a Windows Azure engineer based on my pseudonym makes more sense than Satoshi being Japanese based on his? Huh

Yes, because you chose your pseudonym to create your identity, and he chose his to hide it.

Masterfully said sir.

I would much rather know why he chose to go by such a name, if it is not his real name, and I guess he is at least somehow related to Japan... Roll Eyes

Because he likes Popopopokemooooon gotta catch them all. Ash Ketchum in Japanese = Satoshi

And now you also know why a Magic The Gathering Online Exchange became the worlds laggiest bitcoin exchange.

And why a Sailor Moon character runs Bitcoins largest silver... vault...thingy... whatever.

How do you know this?

Because I am Satoshi, and that's why I used that Pseudonym. Roll Eyes

No, I am Satoshi.

When I first came to this forum, someone PM'd me wondering if I was an engineer working on Windows Azure. That PM made a lot more sense than your claim. Tongue

Aw, I could write a space-book about it, but I'm afraid I'd have to charge for further information about my Bitcoin secrets. Canadian dollars only, please; I don't know much about this Bitcoin stuff, but I hear it's a ponzi bubble.

Pyramid ponzi techno bubble.

I see no reason to assume you're not Satoshi Nakamoto.

Good. Now that we've cleared that up:

I am not Japanese. Rather, I come from the planet Kru-Ton 8. The first man I met was named Satoshi, and so I stole his identity; it was the easiest way to get along with you Earthlings, as my real form is that of a busty space princess. Thus, I traveled to Canada, and developed Bitcoin there. Why Canada? Because you don't question the great Satoshi Nakamoto, that's why.

Anyway, I didn't create a Japanese forum because I don't understand Japanese. I also don't understand English, but you can call BS anytime and catch my point Tongue

Does it follow, then, that I am a deity from the Forgotten Realms? Obviously, Myrkul is dead, so I can't be him. Perhaps I'm Cyric, or Kelemvor, just pretending to be Myrkul?

You can be whatever you want to be.

But you're using it as such.

He posted at times inconsistent with living in Japan, he spoke perfect English, and used a Times of London quote in the genesis Block. Yet, you say that the simplest explanation, based entirely on his use of a Japanese pseudonym, is that he was Japanese.

Yes.

At some point in time, Azure, you will need to dispute my claim: I am Satoshi Nakamoto.

At some point, you'll have to tell me I'm wrong, or you must assume everything I say is factual about myself. You have to assume I'm lying, even if you can't prove it. And if you call me a liar, you have to acknowledge that the man behind the name Satoshi Nakamoto could've been lying, and that there is no absolute truth that he is required to be honest about his own identity.

So which is it? Do you believe I am Satoshi Nakamoto, as I, Satoshi Nakamoto, say I am, and what is your reasoning to explain why I am or am not?

I see no reason to assume you're not Satoshi Nakamoto. Satoshi and President Obama being the same person would certainly be interesting.
