When I read this story, my response was something like, “I don’t believe this very much, but it sure makes a good story — Mysterious Bitcoin founder turns out to be hiding in plain sight under his real name. He’s some unassuming old guy, not the anarcho-capitalist cypherpunk everyone was expecting. The fact that it’s a good story means a lot of people are going to believe it, since believing things like that is short-term rewarding.”
