Craig Wright Is Satoshi Nakamoto

 

Craig Wright Is Satoshi Nakamoto

Maybe later I'll cite some sources here and give some explanation. I've been around Bitcoin for a long time, most of you who know me will know that. I'm happy to tell my stories there if you are interested.

I don't mean to say I'm magically qualified to make this claim, but I like to think I have a little bit of weight on the topic of Bitcoin than a complete outsider or someone who bought at $19k.

Craig Wright is (probably) Satoshi Nakamoto.

You may not like him or what he stands for, and that's fine. You may be taken off guard that he's not a super anarcho-capitalist, anti-statist (I was). But more than likely, he is. He openly claims it on video, in court cases, in copyrights, and is setting himself up for a ton of trouble if he's not.

Maybe he knows Satoshi is dead and he can "take his place". Not a bad theory. I'd say though, it's him. Watching him on video, he talks and acts in a way that I can see it. He's the guy, but because he's been so anonymous for so long, he's appeared as this "perfect" being. When you see his flaws, it's uncomfortable because I think many of us somehow thought he was more than human. He's not.

I have a friend who finally helped encourage me to look into it and see the light. The more I listen to Craig, the more I like him. I don't agree with him on everything. But he seems to mean well and probably knows more about how the world works than I do. I won't claim to be humble and back down with my opinions, I just recognize that he may well be right.

Now with that out of the way, maybe you don't like his vision for Bitcoin and Bitcoin SV. That's okay. Maybe he was sharp enough to make it, but he's lost touch now and can't direct/influence it properly. That's a possibility.

I realize believing Craig Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto comes across as believing in a flat earth to many. That's okay, I just wanted to make my statement as it's a pretty important issue. Feel free to disagree with me. I've put my money where my mouth is.

Update: 2020-12-01. I was more than likely wrong here. Not sure what to make of Craig Wright. Or if he is Satoshi Nakamoto, I'm pretty disappointed with him. He is an interesting guy nonetheless.

NAVIGATING TRENDS IN THE MARKET:Live Auction,Short term bubble or Long Run Trend?

Finance weekly What to Look Out for When Trading or Investing For beginner investors, it can be difficult to navigate trends in the market. Which are the short-term bubbles, and what trends are here to stay?      There seems to be a far- wide accepted narrative that ‘normal’ people can’t make money investing. They should simply put their funds into a so-called Robo-generator which will  put their cash into index-tracking passive investment funds. In reality, this type of investing (known as ‘black box’ investing) is being overtaken by new technological advancements that keep on getting better day by day. This investment approach also goes against the unfolding financial technology motives, that are driving the idea of creating a level- playing field for anyone committed and serious to reap it big from trading and investment. It looks backward to when investing was for the elite. However, investment is being democratized. As such, I want to talk about a ne...
