What a piece of shit reporting. Journalists compulsively play pop psychologist is reporting on targets to obscure their lack of technical capability. When ridiculed for this they say readers want the gossip because they too lack technical comprehension.

Not a single journalist resists the temptation for slimey personal analysis to boost sales from Obama to Putin to Satoshi, from NY Times to Guardian to WaPo to Wired to The Intercept.

Still the tech firms suck up to the ignorant outlets for lurid coverage, crypto firms now leading the pack to promote comsec panic for digital cash-in. You, once honorably corrupt, dear cpunks, should be raking it in as if in compelled to rationalize cryptoligarchy.

Fuck them dead, the whipsawing comsec windfall bandits.

In a city (LA) where burglars will break into your home for a mere $400 flat panel TV, the journalist involved has just painted a bullseye on this 64 year old man's back, due to the supposed 1,000,000 bitcoins he has. This is a disaster waiting to happen.. I can't believe Newsweek actually published his photo, along with his house and car with visible license plate

This should be criminal. -- Pozdr rysiek

But you guys know there's many Satoshi's right? I mean. They're like Zero or Anonymous!

From the looks of the cat, it might be *worth* a satoshi, I guess.

Clearly, this points to the need to expand the AP/AM implementations to include 'indefinite targets': AP targets whose names aren't known at the time the donation is made.  And, even targets who really don't even exist at the time the donation is made.  Presumably, Satoshi is still alive and well, thus nobody out there (yet) has harmed him.  Somebody might want to put money (BTC) on anyone who would do so.  I alluded to this at the time I wrote the AP essay, with my reference to using AP to attack car thieves.             Jim Bell

I think you just made Satoshi Nakamoto the most well protected person in history. Well played psy-ops my friend. That's almost as good as the hypothetical game big (insert your boogeyman here) might be playing with Putin to make him think Bitcoin is a NSA/CIA operation to ruin the ruble.

A person of my acquaintance who is a first wave negotiator in international affairs (first wave meaning the deniable precursor labor that occurs before the image-sensitive political class gets visibly involved) recounted how, in discussions in Beijing, this person's counterpart from the "other" side said that it was the assumption in Beijing that Twitter was an American operation constructed to destabilize Iran.

This was three years ago.

And just like Iran, it seems to be all about dead dinosaurs http://www.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2014/03/putin_ukraine_and_en... It had somehow slipped my mind how 'theoildrum.com' went away, and everyone seems to have forgotten $12/MMBTU natural gas. But now we have a global power play that involves exporting every MMBTU that can be fracked and liquified to choke off Russia's economic air supply. Expect $15/mmbtu gas if we have another polar vortex and $8 corn in 2015 or 2016 if this holds. When I ran across http://oilgascoin.do.am/ (oilgascoin crypto coin) I thought it was a sad attempt at a copycatcoin, but it's looking more like the first sign of a cryptocurrency psy-ops arms race.
