Episode #15 We Are Satoshi

#WeAreSatoshi

Well, we did ask in episode 13 what would happen if Satoshi 'came out', today we got our answer. Wired magazine published an article proposing that Australian security expert #CraigStevenWright was #SatoshiNakamoto. Within two hours of the article being published Craig's home was raided by the Australian TaxOffice - so much for Turnbull's declaration of Australia being open to innovation.

One thing is certain, Bitcoin brings events into real time for all the world to see.

People thinking about privacy might be interested in the second part of this episode, we chat to Robin and Andrew of the pixelated project about online privacy.

A question worth asking that makes the most sense - is Satoshi is a team of people who have been working on Bitcoin for 20 years?

Crypto currencies call for open ledgers, and open minds... speaking of minds, there's a social media platform that's cropped up, one that encrypts - check out minds.com - and speak yours.
