      I appreciate your work...I'm Satoshi and so is Elon Musk...I'm 38, American, my name is David...It was my idea, I own the coins, they are under the control of my trustee/conservator...We hired Elon, to control the development. I have no technical knowledge of computers...I am extremely wealthy and successful outside of Bitcoin...That's the truth...When you realize that the person corresponding in the emails is Elon, under my made up alias Satoshi Nakamoto, it becomes obvious...I have mental illness, which causes me to be unstable and unpredictable, I don't even have access to my own wealth...That's why the secrecy...I wanted to make Bitcoin for one reason, to take down the oppressive and predatory federal reserve and central banking system...I don't care about the notoriety or recognition...This is not for me, it's for everyone...I will be revealed, bit not until I'm the wealthiest man in the world. Depending on Bitcoins price, it could be very soon...I am also the secret founder and creator of the Monster Energy brand, among many other things, all done in secrecy...

I had also forgot Gavin naming CSW and missed his bcash support. I was so glad to be past this error, bit disappointing to come back full circle.

    Amazing job on this! That clip of Adam explaining why it’s best for “Satoshi” to remain anonymous put all the pieces together for me. Nobody asks, “who invented the dollar?”-not having a name/face makes it feel like an objective commodity rather than an invention that’s purchased. The anonymity is not a selfless denial of profit but a means to make Bitcoin more profitable. As to why not access his account with billions on it, why risk being unmasked when he probably has plenty of money in other accounts, while having the safety net of knowing that fortune is there should he ever need it. FANTASTIC work!

      The whole “anonymous” for the greater good aspect always feels like a bit of a stretch when you consider that the smaller fraction of a Bitcoin is named after Satoshi. Therefore the currency ultimately is designed to actually grow to a point where the coins used in common trading are actually directly invoking his name ….

    • @motopolak
      @motopolak Před 2 lety +11

      @@mobilegameclips5628 Remember that these fractions were only named "Satoshis" after Satoshi himself disappeared in 2011. They were named by the surviving community (extremely small at the time compared to today) as a tribute to the creator, not by the creator himself. So your conclusion that BTC is "designed to grow to a point to where it invokes his name" is a bit of a stretch, in my opinion.

      The secular West’s double standards are glaringly evident from how they deal with “irrationality”. When this so-called irrationality is linked with religion it’s a problem. However, when it comes to things like “gender fluidity” it’s completely fine. Another example that can be mentioned is how the “clairvoyant” Edgar Cayce was extremely popular during the early 20th century.
      And it’s the same story when it comes to aliens 👽. The secular West, unable to fight its innate tendency to believe in the ghayb, proposes the likely existence of a non-human species that could communicate with our world - the same way Muslims believe in the jinn
      Of course, all of this is done in the name of their own religion: science. They even have their own priests in the form of astrobiologists, etc.
      This belief of theirs is of the same nature as ours. Even if they try and add some pseudo-empiricist spice: there may be tangible elements pointing towards the existence of aliens 👽 They fail to grasp how we, too, say there are “tangible elements” regarding the influences of the jinn within our world.*

    Great bit of internet sleuthing this was. I'm not surprised to hear that bitcoin grifting and drama goes all the way back to its founders, but seeing the scope of it really gives you an appreciation for how deep the conflict of interest goes. In retrospect, it makes a lot of sense why someone would keep their internet alter-ego in their back pocket. Being able to roleplay as the mysterious, unpredictable founder of an underground currency gives you an influence that conventional figureheads don't have. Every time Back talks about Satoshi and bitcoin, he sounds like a guy who's just barely holding back the glee of thinking he's got everyone fooled and is hiding in plain sight.

      to play devils advocate, he has had years to ponder the question (the 'better to know / not know'). But he clearly never rehearsed the "who is ..." question. The eyes down and smile are pretty hard to ignore. All he had to practice replying was "I know who it isnt, it isnt me" with a straight face. As for the 'why keep denying', the aura evaporates once there's a single originator. Who invented money? I think he wants to maintain that level of importance to it. Once he's the known face of BTC, it's just another 'thing' , and every little up and down will lead to questions directly *to him*. Tough to be the father of what could be a $10 trillion alternative currency.

    This video is a red herring, Barely Sociable is Satoshi. Just randomly out of nowhere this "Barely Sociable" channel springs into existence and grows to have nearly 400k subs in eight months? Does that truly seem barely sociable to you? And his info is just a tad too well-researched for a random youtuber who only started posting less than a year ago. But the most compelling evidence perhaps is that if you turn the volume all the way up at 7:16 you can hear his mom shouting, "Satoshi Nakamoto, if you don't come down here and take out the trash right now then you're walking to school tomorrow!" I rest my case. (Continued below)
    That said, I think it goes without saying that the research done in these videos is phenomenal. One little note though if that's all right. While these videos are very intriguing and definitely keep you watching, I have found that a lot of the content is confusing to understand. I feel that this is a subject where one either needs to have a background or to have spent quite a bit of time researching it, but to a lot of us even if certain events, terms, or documents had been explained before, often merely mentioning them again doesn't make it clear what they are because of the technical nature of the subject. I still really enjoyed watching all parts of this topic and feel that the channel on the whole is excellent. Maybe I just hold him up to crazy high expectations, haha! Please keep it up.

    • @joemama-bo5ef
      @joemama-bo5ef Před 4 lety +11

      it would be highly unlikely because the thing about the trash implies that he is a school student who lives with his mother which would be impossible because he started bitcoin in 2007 which would mean he would have to be at least 14, although probably older because he would have to obtain the knowledge of how to do that. Of course this could be something to give light to his identity finally for skilled cryptographers, and there could also be something hidden in the audio of the video (you can turn it into an image somehow, Idk how), but it would also be the kind of thing a bored youtuber doing lots of research for a video for his growing channel would do for laughs.
