I bet you didn't know that I was Satoshi Nakamoto, inventor of Bitcoin. And that I was Gwern. And Ciphergoth. In fact, I bet you still don't.

Gwern and Ciphergoth both have idiots thinking they're Satoshi and trying to scam them.

Wait, I’m confused. Isn’t Dr. Craig Wright confirmed to be Satoshi Nakamoto? He wouldn’t lie about that… would he?

Unless David Gerard is Craig Wright.

Congrats! That’s a fantastic theory, and I’m jealous that it was woven around you.

This has to be satire. I mean, nobody could be this wrong by accident, right?

Well, it’s Bitcoin, can’t rule anything out.

Did he really just imply that two people must be related because they share the last name Green?

I’m pretty sure that Gwern and David Gerard are ideological antimatter, and if they inhabited the same body at the same time the ideological conflicts would blow up the universe. I’ve verified this by careful bigram- and trigram-analysis.

Oh my goodness, people who have online conversations about specific topics use similar bigrams and even trigrams?!?! Has the author just inadvertently revealed that forums, rather than humans are the real satient entities here?
