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.

Iran’s Su-35 Aircraft Procurement Is More Dangerous Than You Think

 The Su-35 procurement is not only a defense deal but also a strategic manifestation, proving the bitter cost of appeasement and naivety.   Taking advantage of Russia’s growing reliance on low-cost Iranian weapons amidst its stumbling campaign in Ukraine, Iran is now set to procure dozens of Russian Su-35 aircraft. While some Western assessments tend to downplay the gravity of the acquisition, claiming that it would not drastically alter the airpower balance in the Gulf, the Su-35 would give an unprecedented boost to Tehran’s control over the Iranian airspace. Such a capability development effort is particularly dangerous as the regime is moving closer to a nuclear bomb. More importantly, the ambitious barter of Russian Su-35 fighters in return for Iranian drones, and probably ballistic missiles, manifests a grim calculus for the West. Contemporary military transactions between Tehran and Moscow have unveiled a new geopolitical episode. Washington and its allies are now facing...
