No.

Adam, what about the public's interest in knowing who Satoshi is so that they know what his motivations were?

Isn't that a legitimate public interest given how big a deal Bitcoin has become, how many things it's altered in our modern world?

And the consequences have not all been positive.

Thank you for having me.

Thank you, Adam, for coming on the show and speaking to us at such length.
