Bankless · Is Bitcoin Going According to Plan? Gold, Saylor, Satoshi | Dan Held · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

So I would say like the Lynn Sassaman, Hal Finney connection, I thought that was an elegant, good narrative.

I don't have any strong opinions for or against the argument.

It's certainly a lot better than the New York Times one about... Yeah, right.

Oh man, that was so bad.

Adam Back?

Yeah, that was just so, so bad.

Adam Back is definitely not Satoshi.

So...

Yeah, I would say like Hal Finney, it definitely feels like Hal Finney wrote the code.

Hal Finney fits the bill perfectly for who Satoshi is.

You know, the idea that Len Sassaman wrote the white paper.

I mean, the idea that like Hal Finney couldn't write a white paper though, that seems a little weak.

The idea that he had to bring in Len Sassaman for that

Yeah, maybe, but white papers aren't exactly rocket science.

Well, I don't want it.

I don't think we should know who Satoshi is.

It's a fun game, but it would be negative if we definitively found who Satoshi was because, one, it creates, you know, this basically deity now becomes a cold, hard, real person.

Right, it pops the illusion.

Yeah, and Satoshi's whole purpose of creating the pseudonym was to be, you know, a pseudonym.

is to be, you know, someone who wasn't, there wasn't a physical representation associated himself with this.
