Everybody blames Gox's shitty custom php wallet and general total incompetence of it's CEO not Satoshi who hasn't worked on bitcoin for years


Not a single person in their right mind would blame Satoshi(or even associate him with) the Mt Gox scandal.


I haven't heard of a single MtGox creditor that has expressed anger towards Satoshi.


If you were really, really angry, and planning to do something about it, would you broadcast that?


If I were rational enough to plan that far ahead, I'd probably be rational enough to realize that the guy who invented bitcoin isn't responsible for anything and everything that happens with it, particularly events to which he has no connection other than having been the inventor.

Like if someone steals my expensive Android phone, I'm not going to find Andy Rubin and punch him. Because that ... just wouldn't make any sense.


Surely Edwin Armstrong bears even greater responsibility in light of his invention of the superheterodyne receiver!


I guess Hedy Lamarr is also dead. Might as well punch Rubin.


To clarify, I'm not saying I wouldn't punch Andy Rubin, I'm just saying I wouldn't punch him because someone stole my phone.


What $500mm are you referring to?


Satoshi mined more than 1 million bitcoins...
