But why would that cause a 50% drawdown. Sound like it’d have the effect of a 10% dilution

I never understood why Back wasn't considered the most likely candidate. The first time I heard him talk about not getting into bitcoin until 2013 I smelled bs.

Honestly, I like him a lot and don't give a shite if it was him. Satoshi was a pseudonym. He doesn't exist anymore. Bitcoin is open source. Someone essentially donated the protocol to humanity and said "have at it". If it was Back and he doesn't want to be associated with that role, that's his choice.

If it is Back, he has no intention of touching the coins. He has said that when the time comes and a fork is needed to address quantum, the coins with P2PK addresses (Satoshi's 1.1M coins) that would be exposed should be left behind. That's not necessarily a consensus opinion in the community.

It surprised me that he would say that because it is a bit against the ethos to declare any coins obsolete. The classic, libertarian minded bitcoiner would generally say that whoever is able to take possession of the tokens owns the tokens. It makes sense that Back would be comfortable breaking that ethos if he knew the primary “victim” would be him and he never planned to touch the coins anyway.

The Daily podcast did a pretty good podcast on it yesterday. A long interview with the reporter and some time with Back as well. The forensic evidence in the writing styles seems to point to him. If all of that’s just a coincidence, it’s one hell of a coincidence.

No matter what, I would surely not like this article if I’m Back. There are a lot of awful people, capable of horrific things, that would take possession of both him and loved ones to work on pain receptors and psyche in order to make an attempt at obtaining even a small fraction of what those coins are worth. Even if the belief is that it was only a 1% chance he’s the guy. Odds are far higher than 1% that Back is Satoshi.
