    My head canon is that Satoshi Nakamoto…

    … is Hideo Kojima.

    Anyway, Satoshi is the pseudonym used on the original… white paper, design doc, whatever it was, for Bitcoin. There’s no doubt about that, I was there back before even Mt. Gox became a bitcoin exchange, on the forums discussing it.

    I thought it was a neat idea, at the time… and then I realized 95% of the discussions on that forum were about ‘the ethics of fully informed ponzi schemes’ and such, very little devoted to actual technical development… realized this was probably a bad omen.
