The author rips into a New York Times piece claiming Adam Back is Bitcoin’s creator, calling its evidence recycled, weak, and irresponsible. They argue Back lacks the economic vision and track record of Satoshi and that publicly naming anyone risks real danger.
- The NYT's stylometric analysis is dismissed as p-hacked, adjustable to produce whatever conclusion the author wants.
- Being on the early Bitcoin mailing list with cryptography expertise doesn't prove authorship—dozens of others fit that profile too.
- Back's actual track record (VC-funded projects, Liquid Network) shows no achievement matching Bitcoin's scale, undermining the claim.
- Publicly naming a Satoshi suspect without solid proof is dangerous, since whoever holds those keys becomes a target for governments, hackers, and extremists.
