In the video he claims that he is the one known by the "monkier" [sic] Satoshi Nakamoto. A very appropriate misspeak of the word "moniker".

#152Humans are not monkies and never were. It is believed that the two species shared a common ancestor at some point.
Edit: If someone has evidence otherwise, please post.

First search for narcissist checklist got me https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-legacy-distorted-lo... If you toss out the ones about romantic relationships, Craig hits on most of them.
I'm in the Wright is a liar/con-artist camp but the items on that list apply to most "normal" people (including myself).
There appears to be significant overlap with the narcissist checklist and a "revered tech leader checklist" (Jobs, Musk, Page, Zuckerberg, etc).

It's quite telling that you don't want me to speak for other people but just in your answer before projected your irrational feelings about bitcoin on me and on what I feel or don't feel for bitcoin (so that we get straight, I don't "feel" anything for a technology, that doesn't make sense). When I referred the world at large, I referred the world at large that already knows bitcoin, not the world population. And fro…
The most damning: Seven transaction a second. You cannot have a functioning financial system that is constrained to seven transactions per second.
Can't stop to notice the downvoting of outright facts in this thread when they show the problems with Bitcoin. It's quite interesting.

Any psychologist will tell you that most people can't objectively evaluate such criteria for themselves. This is something that is best left to professionals who have experience with people that DEFINITELY have such disorders.
I'm also in the non-believer camp, nor can I fathom why "Satoshi" would initially choose to remain anonymous but then decide to come out. What purpose does that serve?
Whatever the case, all of this drama is really, really bad news for bitcoin as a currency in the future.
Re: Bitcoin 'creator' backs out of Satoshi coin move 'proof'
#156Okay seriously, is anyone contacting the authorities to see if this man is still alive? I do not know who to contact or what his location is. His "blog" post sounds like a suicide note - I've had the misfortune of reading others, and there are telltale signs - and it doesn't appear that anyone is taking steps to see if he's okay. Maybe he is a liar, maybe he's Satoshi, who gives a shit at this point when the jaded co…
This post reminds me of a tactic abusive people use to prevent their victims from leaving them. When confronted with their bad behavior, they apologize profusely and pretend to feel remorse for their actions to the point that people worry about them. Once people feel adequately sorry for them and are distracted from their bad behavior, they go right back to doing what they were doing. But the giveaway that shows it's…
To be certain, it is; it's a textbook tactic used by abusers who themselves suffer from some neurosis. Abusers sometimes do, after threatening it so much, anneal themselves with the constant threats and their perceived ineffectiveness, actually follow through as a final, "I'll show them!"
Either way, it is a loss of life. I do feel better knowing that his safety (or, at the very least, status as a living, breathing human being) is confirmed. I also think he needs help, real professional help, to overcome whatever is pushing him in this apparent downward spiral.
Of course, he could just be some asshole trying to get airtime or to socially engineer access to Satoshi's funds. Maybe Satoshi had a psychotic break, and he (as Satoshi) is the result of it? Point is that we have only the evidence that has been shared (by him, the media, former colleagues) in a very haphazard way. It's easy to get wrapped up in theories and plot twists when there's a level of anonymity between us and the subject of our conspiracies. We simply do not know. Maybe we won't ever know.
Hopefully the next step for him begins a path to peace, rehabilitation, restitution, acceptance or any combination thereof.

I still haven't seen anyone write what those fraudulent acts are exactly. Since Craig Wright (let's not call him what he isn't) apparently has several companies, these should be some clue about that?
There are articles that do so ( https://www.nikcub.com/posts/craig-wright-is-not-satoshi-nak... ). The gist is that Australia via their tax authorities pays R&D credits in cash. Wright set up a corporate vehicle funded by the transfer _on paper_ of Bitcoins that are not proven to even exist. He used these to mostly buy software from himself and claimed a AU$3.1m R&D cash tax refund.
Ah. Case closed. Nothing to see here.

It would not surprise me at all if a significant percentage of that list qualified as narcissist.

> When the Dorian Nakamoto stuff happened the real Satoshi put out a statement saying he's not Dorian. That wasn't that long ago. My read on that is that Satoshi felt sorry for the hapless Japanese-American guy with tech media showing up at his house. In contrast, Craig Wright asked for this.
Also the old guy was going to have to prove a negative. Can't be done.
Let's see some proof that it can't be done.

It's not so much the presence of those signs -- we are all at least a little selfish, it's the intensity of them.
