- Capability

- Motivation

- Linguistics

- Physical location

This is the most robust consilience of evidence of Satoshi anywhere on the internet.

Musk also proficient in C++, among other things

You have previously posted about Wolfram's New Kind of Science. So I think you understand what it means to have original thoughts and go against the status quo.

Show HN: Original mission of PayPal was Bitcoin-like currency

"Many people don’t know this but the mission of PayPal was to create a global currency that was independent of interference by these corrupt cartels of banks and governments that were debasing their currencies. And we succeeded building something economically very powerful, enabled many small businesses, we’re super proud of it, but we never achieved the mission." - Luke Nosek, Co-Founder of...

The evidence pointing to Elon being Satoshi spans every important dimension of identifying someone. Capability, motivation, linguistics, physical location. This is the most robust consilience of evidence of Satoshi anywhere on the internet.

This is a proposal. You are welcome to propose another candidates. Now it up to open-minded people to rank all proposals by likelihood of being true.

Also "bloody"

Ask HN: "Order of Magnitude”?

I noticed Satoshi Nakamoto used the phrase "order of magnitude" a lot. Like Elon Musk. What do people think?"I thought it would be impractical if the block chain, bitcoin addresses, disk space and bandwidth requirements were all an order of magnitude bigger.""RSA can do both, but I didn’t use it because it’s an order of magnitude bigger and would have been impractical.""I know for competitive...

This claim hinges on highly specific evidence of capability, motivation, location, and unusual shared linguistic quirks.

For newcomers to this thread, reread my posts, and if you have open-ended questions, I'd be willing to answer.
There was little incentive to take credit when he's juggling SpaceX and Tesla.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30131095

This might change when there is sufficient public will asking him to take credit.

False! C++ proficiency. Location in Van Nuys, Los Angeles. Are hard evidence.

Hacker News crowd, get smarter!

You guys are like clueless about so much of life!

Change this by taking the perspective of people who simultaneously build things and coordinate people!

The meta-talk is not how to make progress. Engage with the actual points. The actual points in the Medium post and the Google Doc.
Musk might deny it for basically every year from 2008 up to when Bitcoin reached some level of success, for the integrity of the currency, and to avoid entanglement with aggressive regulators who don't understand the possibilities for good (see the fate of the E-gold founder) (luckily the atmosphere has changed with Vitalik Buterin publicly inventing Ethereum and Billy Markus publicly inventing Dogecoin). Let's say that from 2008-2013 (2013 is the release date of Dogecoin) there was sufficient reason to deny.

Then onwards, Musk might continue denying because priorities are SpaceX and Tesla. This reason might essentially continue on to the present. So this explains the range 2013-2022.

Now in the present, what can change the situation is sufficient public knowledge that Musk invented Bitcoin and sufficient public will that asks Musk to take credit, with the understanding that taking credit for Bitcoin will unify the positive perception of Satoshi with Musk, and accelerate time to civ on Mars.

The evidence is now beyond reasonable doubt that Musk invented Bitcoin. Capability. Motivation. Linguistics. Plus the extraordinarily specific commonalities. C++ proficiency. Location in Van Nuys, Los Angeles. Fulfilling the Exact Paypal Dream.

For a quick rebuttal of the other candidates, Nick Szabo doesn't seem to code in C++, Len Sassaman was sincerely dismissive of Bitcoin, Hal Finney was not playing games emailing himself, and Craig Wright is what you say he is.

... or proof that he designed the Bitcoin logo!

Sufficient public will asking Musk to take credit is what matters. Not sufficient public will to move coins lol. Sufficient public will asking Musk to take credit.

Hahaha
Perhaps Musk will choose to take credit when there is sufficient public will to credit him, and when it is clear that taking credit for the invention will accelerate time to civ on Mars.

I hope the HackerNews crowd reads this and takes this seriously.

Many thanks.
