The way these "news" sites talk about bitcoin is quite fearful and ignorant. I find it incredibly irritating.

#12This is a horrible thing Newsweek has done. Someone could easily think he has the "secret code" to unlock Bitcoin and kidnap him, or try to rob him or his family directly. Kidnapping? Who knows.
This was terribly irresponsible of Newsweek.

#13So Satoshi Nakamoto is actually named Satoshi Nakamoto? Woah, always assumed it was an a group of people operating under a psuedo. Doesn't seem right.

#18Being labeled Satoshi regardless of truth is pretty much going to get you robbed, kidnapped or killed. This dude lives in this town and has $400M of untraceable currency? You can be sure as hell that somebody will do something stupid to try and get to it. I wouldn't wish this label upon anybody, it's exactly why the community tries to avoid speculating about it. The article is probably nonsense but incredibly dangero…
Untraceable currency?
Hyperbole. Bitcoin is presented in some media as an "anonymous" "untracable" currency, but it's really neither.

There are many people who have at least that sum of money and they appear in public all the time. I have heard this same thing about "him surely getting robbed or killed" several times now, it feels always a bit odd to me.

#20There is really no compelling evidence in the article that this Satoshi Nakamoto is the inventor of Bitcoin. Regarding his stance to not discuss Bitcoin, I imagine he has already been approached by journalists (or lunatics) in the past, and I would be as reluctant.
It might be him but it requires some leap of faith to relate the love of model trains to the design of cryptocurrency.
