    It would very much surprise me if Satoshi turned out to be Russian (is that what you’re asking?). His whitepaper proposal is written in very fluent English, as are his other communications on SourceForge etc, also Russians are not known for their technological entrepreneurial aspirations - at least not for the last ~40 years.

    To be honest I would not be surprised if whoever Satoshi is has died, rather than craftily holding onto the early minted blocks. Only time will tell if they ever get transacted.

      I wouldn’t think it’s one person. More like a state-funded project. I’m not really a conspiracy theorist, but it feels like russiayhas been playing some good 4D chess lately. Feels like the pieces are falling into place for a revelation like that.
