> directly benefits from Bitcoin's flaws
Bitcoin's sole excuse for being supremely inefficient (participants needing to replay the entire history of all transactions ever) is that it's decentralized, with no need to trust any 3rd parties. Limiting the block size is necessary for keeping it decentralized. It's also necessary for developing a fee market, which is Bitcoin's only hope of staying secure in the coming decades when the block subsidy becomes insignificant.
Hence why his keys are lost, if Adam was Satoshi he could prove it quickly, it not him.
Also this doesn't make sense from a timeline and project view.
Yeah i do believe he may be Satoshi.
It's, imo, why craig thought he could make his pitch that he was Satoshi, he probably did contribute to the discussion as he knew Dave but that is like me saying I invest amazing because I chatted with Bezos about marketplaces. It may also explain why he tried to do it to 'save' the OG vision...which current Bitcoin is not anymore.

The conspiracy YouTuber making the claim was attacked and slandered heavily after making the claim despite convincing evidence that wasn't disproven:
1 Same English typing mannerisms
2 Misspelling the same words
3 A conspicuous gap in his career while Bitcoin was being developed
4 entering the bitcoin scene in forums very early acting authoritative
Not to mention
5 A history of working on bitcoin-like technologies: "hashcash"
6 early involvement with the cypherpunks
I'm still convinced its him.
