Bitcoin creator outed. He really is Satoshi Nakamoto

Satoshi Nakamoto stands at the end of his sunbaked driveway looking timorous. And annoyed.

He's wearing a rumpled T-shirt, old blue jeans and white gym socks, without shoes, like he has left the house in a hurry. His hair is unkempt, and he has the thousand-mile stare of someone who has gone weeks without sleep.

He stands not with defiance, but with the slackness of a person who has waged battle for a long time and now faces a grave loss.

Two police officers from the Temple City, Calif., sheriff's department flank him, looking puzzled. "So, what is it you want to ask this man about?" one of them asks me. "He thinks if he talks to you he's going to get into trouble."

"I don't think he's in any trouble," I say. "I would like to ask him about Bitcoin. This man is Satoshi Nakamoto."

"What?" The police officer balks. "This is the guy who created Bitcoin? It looks like he's living a pretty humble life."

Whatever big plans the people who started BitCoin HAD, the demons walking-on-two-legs have ensured that those huge ideas are now left in ruin, as they do to every God damned other thing that could benefit us.

I warned people time-after-time-after-time that BitCoin was going to be imploded, and I was proven right.  The bottom-line is that the big-picture issue of the controllers is going to have to be addressed before there is ANY hope of real change.

Sorry Lindsey but you're completely wrong about BTC. It's now at 665 USD. It hasn't imploded at all. Yes, it was at 1000+ but that was de to a lot of speculation and hype. Things have stabilized and it even survived a huge MtGox implosion and theft of $500 million worth of BTC.

Bitcoin is here to stay. I was a skeptic at first as well but now I see it as quite a good currency alternative investment. It beats gold, for now, for sure.

Also, "real" Satoshi seems to be denying that he is the guy Newsweek fingered.
