Is A Beautiful Mind Required For A World-Class Innovation?
This post is just a flash idea of a man who has followed crypto for six years, not the result of actual analysis or research. TL; DR: The conclusion is in the last paragraph.
This month we will see more drama around Craig S. Wright, the self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto. The reason why I give this man more thought (nobody really should at this stage) today is a great moment to make your bets with regards to BitcoinSV.
I want to share a holistic humanitarian question. Can a person who I would describe as an anti-gentleman (a rude, offensive, documented liar) be the creator of Bitcoin?
No way.
I want to think that the outstanding talent that is required to create Bitcoin will also show in other aspects of life: the style of communication, fairness in sport, comments on twitter.
I am not saying that a genius needs to be nice, but they need to show consistency.
The reason that Craig got funded this far is that firstly, it is hard to ring-fence and expose a liar. And secondly, that the invention of Bitcoin does require a high degree of mental freedom from established beliefs on economics and money. So one would have to cut Satoshi a lot of slack on that account. Still: IMHO Craig's behavior is beyond that of a well-intentioned albeit nerdy anarcho-capitalist.
If Craig S. Wright fails again to produce proof he holds the keys to Satoshi's coins (which I believe he will), there will be a lot of BitcoinSV hodlers looking for a new home, and I don't think they will sell for USD but stay in crypto.
(In the spirit of Antifragile, I am entitled to voice my opinion publicly because I hold BTC and stand to lose significantly if my assessment is wrong.)
