Summary of contents Today's topic: What I want to say about the theory that "Satoshi Nakamoto = Kaneko Isamu" seen in Japan In Japan, there are media outlets that promote the theory that "Satoshi Nakamoto is Kaneko Isamu," and opinions that agree with this theory can be seen in the comment sections of articles and on Twitter. Isamu Kaneko...Developer of the P2P file sharing software "Winny." He passed away in 2013. However, there is something strange about the way the media covers it, and it seems to be a local excitement in some parts of Japan for vague reasons such as "because P2P technology is related to Bitcoin" and "because Kaneko is a genius." In the first place, I feel a strong sense of discomfort when the media and self-proclaimed experts say "Satoshi's true identity is ____." People who have been told in the past that they are "Satoshi!" are at risk of being inundated with interviews from reporters and of themselves or their family being involved in crimes such as kidnapping. Are the media and influencers not concerned that the spread of the theory that "Satoshi = Kaneko" will lead to people close to Kaneko being involved in crimes? To put it bluntly, what they're doing seems to be posting bait-and-switch articles to gain views and tweets to get impressions. (*Translation used) 内容の要約 今日のお題:日本で見られる「サトシナカモト=金子勇氏」説に言いたいこと 日本では「サトシナカモトは金子勇だ」という説を打ち出すメディアがあり、記事のコメント欄やTwitterでも同調するような意見が見られる。 金子勇氏…P2Pのファイル共有ソフト「Winny」の開発者。2013年に亡くなっている。 しかし、メディアの取り上げ方には違和感があり、「P2Pの技術がビットコインと関連しているから」「金子氏が天才だから」などの曖昧な理由だけで、日本の一部で局地的に盛り上がっているように見える。 そもそも、「サトシの正体は○○だ」という話を、メディアや自称専門家がすることに強烈な違和感がある。 過去に「サトシだ!」と言われてきた人は、記者からの取材が殺到したり、自身や身内が誘拐などの犯罪に巻き込まれたりする危険にさらされている。 メディアやインフルエンサーは、「サトシ=金子氏」という説が広まることで、金子氏に近い人が犯罪に巻き込まれるという懸念はないのだろうか。 はっきり言えば、彼らのやっていることは閲覧数稼ぎの釣り記事・インプレッション稼ぎのツイートに見える。
