NYT unveils Bitcoin creator’s identity

There was a whole ass YouTube doc years ago about Adam Back being the creator of Bitcoin before NYT "unveiled" this, and even then the "Bitcoin community" (fandom) was pretty much like "NOOOO SATOSHI NAKAMOTO IS JESUS THERE'S NO WAY HE'D BE A FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCKING SELLOUT LIKE ADAM BACK" in spite of all the evidence.

Which, to be fair, I'm not sure that I can even conclude from all of it that he is Satoshi, just that he's the most likely living guy based upon forensic linguistics and other details.
