That's called a late night talk show. They have an opening monologue where they pick a current event and then make zany, TV safe jokes about it for a few seconds before moving on to the next topic.

This article is a useful overview of what an obvious con man Wright is and why his claim to be Satoshi is clearly BS; suitable for sharing with people who don't know much about Bitcoin.

I really don't get all this outage. People behave as if Craig Wright is a fraud, but there is no proof of that. There is absolutely no reason to believe he is not Satoshi. The very same people also loudly claim that we are all Satoshi. If that is the case, so is Craig Wright.

I don't actually doubt that Craig Wright is a scammer. The only problem i have with your post is that you have fallen into typical human logical fallacy land. Just because Wright may have scammed and may be scamming now doesn't mean that he is not Satoshi....
The Satoshi Wallet.dat is somewhere and I do believe this noise is getting us closer to where it is.


[–]BitcoinFuturist 8 points 10 hours ago
But there is not a shred of evidence that suggests he is satoshi ...


[–]johnnycoin 1 point 9 hours ago
It is possible that he is the best con man ever and was able to dupe so many people with nice words. But this is a long con of epic proportions, Craig Wright has been working this con for months now if that is the case. There is enough smoke here to tell me that the Satoshi fire is close. We all want a simple answer and are waiting for Satoshi to come out from behind the curtain at Oz. However, the Satoshi story may be vastly more complicated than we can imagine, even now.

Need to install bitcoin, then go to exchange and exchange cash for bitcoin.

The bitcoin install needs 20 gigs because it works by storing every transaction ever made on every client.

This is a lot of work for my weed I added to my web cart. But I guess it's better than getting killed buying from a dealer in the hood?

Curse you, weed!

You don't need to install bitcoin on your computer numbnut. There are websites that will deposit BTC right into your wallet on the drug website in exchange for cash and then you just buy things.

Well yeah you just do small amounts at any time and don't ever hold BTC (immediately buy the drugs with it).

Granted I haven't used any of that since before The Silk Road drama happened but it worked just fine for a while there when I was in foreign lands and had no connects. Worst part was it would just take a couple days for the wire to the exchange to go through then a couple days to get BTC in your wallet. The redirecting payment and China running it all weren't a thing back then afaik.

For a serious moment during all that I thought about arbitrage in various exchanges but then I realized that would be a hilariously awful and risky idea.

I guess I'll just never make it in this doge world.
