he may be real in that there is a real person who is deeply involved in the primary ideas

but could there be something else behind him

or around him

to get wealthy?

he hasn't cashed out

at all

bigger than that

I think it's a economic experiment of some kind

to create a disruptive system

with ill intent

the blockchain itself is a great idea

outside of currency

He is probably not japanese at all

that's a given

he isn't japanese full stop

This is 100% obvious that he is not Japanese from Japan

yeah

He doesn't think and write like any Japanese I've met.

it's obvious its a westerner

the name itself sounds a bit odd

its japanese but

He's probably canadian

seems more like someone who came up with a japanese name

Mr. Miyagi

I was there when the concept was created

I could've bought at 30 cents

he is obviously from an english speaking country not the united states

it was a weeb

that is 100% certain

I know for a fact it was just a weeb

why do you assume it was a weeb?

because I was there

there was a secret anonymous forum somewhere with some kind of free speech incryption software installed on it

it was run by libertarian types as a social experiment

it turned pretty weird pretty fast and had lots of unsavory types talking about all kinds of shit I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole

and eventually they started this spergy discussion on the nature of currency and on the attributes of gold that make it a good investment

or a good store of value

we he nick szabo?

and they got to brainstorming and since the whole site was built off of shady encryption software, they obviously had the minds sitting around to make it

I never got powerword

yeah it was prob that nick szabo guy but he isn't the bitcoiner
