Debunking the Dorsey as Satoshi Theory
The theory that Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter and Square, is Satoshi Nakamoto is examined through various claims and coincidences, many of which are based on numerology and circumstantial evidence. Advocates of this theory point to Dorsey's involvement in the cypherpunk community and notable dates that align with significant Bitcoin events, such as his birthday correlating with Satoshi's forum activity. However, these arguments overlook the randomness and multitude of statistical coincidences present in large datasets. Ultimately, the reliance on numerology to make a case for Dorsey being Satoshi is seen as a stretch, emphasizing the absurdity of thinking a billionaire with full tech business responsibilities could also have the bandwidth to create Bitcoin from scratch.
