    We talk about this here in the podcast, and he said he didn't get it while writing it, but that it could be an indication of him being Satoshi. However, I believe Evan didn't quite get that Bitcoin mining in that day and age didn't consume quite the amount of electricity it does nowadays.

    Paul le Roux is the True Creator of Bitcoin. DEA is still hiding what he really capable of. Paul Le Roux is the greatest computer scientist alive in this decade, And still under custody by the US government. He is getting old but his innovation still owns a large portion of this world's digital money.

    Has anyone wrote to Le Roux in prison and just put these questions to him? And I'm assuming someone in his old organisation would have alerted him to what Craig Wright is up to?

    Evan mentions in the interview that he'd like to talk to him but that his requests never really came through. I guess they don't let journalists/non-associates close to him. The thing with CW is that we know there is somewhat of a relationship. We can only speculate how they two know each other and therefore what CW's reaction to that might be.

    @@DCOREBlockchainPeople Yes a very clear relationship. I don't believe for a moment CW was capable of producing Bitcoin. I know thats not exactly scientific of me, but if you're announcing you made it publicly then prepare to provide evidence publicly. And he's failed. I do think that CW might believe he has some encrypted wallets, whether thats true or not I guess only time will tell. I have a feeling though if they did belong to Le Roux, who was clearly genius enough to know that at some point any encyption is ultimately breakable, that he would have 'punched holes' in the data stored on the hard drive, what i mean is that he would have left parts missing that only he has access to in another form that renders recovered data unusable. I think. thats why there was problems (even now) to decrypt his email service.

    ​@@DCOREBlockchainPeople Yeah I think he's smart enough to realise if there is a central person it's prone to the 'violence hack' thats what happened with Liberty Reserve and E-gold. The more I have thought about it over the years, I think the reason the 'satoshi coins' have never been moved, cashed in or whatever is this. The person who designed it (who i think is paul but regardless) figured if the central banking-fiat system wanted to perform a takeover/takedown of it they could do it a number of ways, one would be simply acquiring all of the coins through trading them for fiat. And so long as there is at least just one holder of bitcoin that never sells the system remains feasible and outside of their control. And because its a sizable chunk too (and likely there is more that we don't know about that maybe has been passed about) then they can't heist the network - again this had been done with liberty reserve and others, and to a lesser extent a similar shakedown of ripple is happening. And whoever designed it was smart enough to ask the question 'if i were to take down a decentralised currency, how would i go about it' and baked in the antidote from the jump. But then that leads me to be suspicious particularly of ethereum, all of the traditional 'powers that were' seem to prefer it, the founder never really gets hassled, is applauded and fanboyed everywhere, and so I always think is he 'their guy'. I dunno. But there are some things in bitcoin which make it robust, and there a lot of things in ethereum which make it exceptionally prone to the violence hack. I mean when all the traditional banking dynasties are going 'yay ethereum, boo bitcoin' ya gotta wonder :)
