Someone just moved 180,000 Bitcoins that haven't been touched in over 2 years. People are speculating it's the real Satoshi

Newsweek sure is going to look stupid if that's not him. Either way, I suppose, they've gotten a ton of publicity (does anyone else remember Newsweek??)
The most revealing would be the "if I had $400million I'd be living somewhere else and not driving a '98 car"
Good drama, though. The post and $114mill being moved makes for a good story...and probably a movie not to far away.

It seems incredibly irresponsible to run a story alleging something like this when they never had any real evidence. Now millions of people (or however many read Newsweek) are going to walk away thinking the guy is the Bitcoin inventor when he's just some random guy.

Good cause for a lawsuit. But could just be a publicity stunt.
She's out a job if she's wrong. Should be interested to watch unfold, though.

Why Everybody Who Doesn’t Hate Bitcoin Loves It: A New Freakonomics Radio Podcast
"The gist: thinking of Bitcoin as just a digital currency is like thinking about the Internet as just e-mail. Its potential is much more exciting than that.
Bitcoin is often described as “virtual gold” — as well as everything from a “bubble” to a “Ponzi scheme” to “a haven for individuals to buy black market items.” But what excites some people, like Silicon Valley veteran Marc Andreessen, is Bitcoin’s potential as a new technology that could underlie any number of transactions, well beyond the simple swapping of currency."

This is from that podcast by a guy who has invested 50 million in bitcoin companies.
"ANDREESSEN: One of the things ... that’s been missing on the Internet for 20 years is kind of a native concept of money...The ability to very easily pay somebody online, the ability to very easily charge for a piece of content, the ability to very easily exchange a digital title, or a digital key, or a digital contract has just been missing because you have no mechanism for establishing trust. And so Bitcoin basically holds the promise of being the first solution to establishing trust over an untrusted network."
Hey Andreessen I use paypal. Also LOL establishing trust.
