00:00We can't, you know, chat with you and not mention Satoshi and this whole investigation from John
00:05Kerry Rue at The New York Times a couple of months ago. It has been a couple of months since
00:08then.
00:09We did learn a few weeks ago that Kerry Rue has inked this three million dollar book deal
00:13to write about the investigation into what he says is unmasking you as Satoshi Nakamoto,
00:18the creator of Bitcoin. I'm wondering just in the last couple of months if you've sufficiently in
00:23your view been able, you know, you've denied it, you've denied it to us several times,
00:26if you've been able to sufficiently sort of shake that or if it's following you around right now
00:30wherever you go. Well, it wasn't the first time. So that was the HBO documentary Money Electric
00:38previous year. And, you know, there's ongoing interest in kind of, you know, Genesis mystery
00:45for Bitcoin of who the originator was. And so it's very hard to prove a negative is the fundamental
00:52problem. So, you know, beyond assuring people, it's not. Now, of course, in the absence of
00:57information, people are going to write their own story. And there are, you know, various people
01:03who are active pre Bitcoin or develop technology that Bitcoin uses or talking about how to design
01:09something like Bitcoin before, which is true for myself. And so people are just looking in
01:14their, you know, sort of investigation or speculation as to who was involved and then sort of making a
01:22list of pros and cons. Right. And I think as it is, you can you can do that for, you
01:27know, dozens of
01:28people approximately equally plausibly. So it's it's all sort of inconclusive in effects because the
01:34trail is very cold as she stopped participating in the forums already in 2011, which is, you know, 15 years
01:42ago at
01:42this point.
