I previously considered Adam Back as the primary Satoshi suspect since the rest candidates do not fit some of the basic criteria. However, I've also considered the fact that Adam Back has been full of BS for a long time, and his perspective on Bitcoin is entirely different from what Satoshi envisioned. Actually, Back wanted Bitcoin to fail as P2P Electronic Cash since 2013 (when he made his official appearance on bitcointalk). If he was Satoshi, his stance would have only been appropriate under these three scenarios: i) Back thought he would never attract attention as his speeches and actions entirely contradict Satoshi's intentions. (I highly doubt this was the case) ii) He somehow changed his mind about Bitcoin and has resorted to degenerate gambling and shilling bags on Twitter. iii) Agencies found out he was Satoshi, and he was coerced/brainwashed to destroy Bitcoin from the inside. I give low odds in all these three scenarios. Therefore, I concluded I was wrong to claim that Adam Back was Satoshi Nakamoto despite all the evidence mounting up to support his case. Regardless, Adam Back could have been part of a larger group. In this scenario, it would be almost impossible to separate all of the clues and match them with each team member. Still, I follow the hunch that Satoshi was alone for many reasons. First, this is a task a single gifted person could have accomplished alone. And, I don't think Satoshi wanted to have partners in this, especially considering how much he valued anonymity and how he had realized trust was the reason every other digital currency had failed until Bitcoin. After carefully re-examining, I now think it was not Adam Back. Satoshi, however (whoever this was), was actually really, really cunning, but there is also a pattern that slowly unfolds, and we will talk about it soon. You can follow my thoughts and research on the case of Satoshi's identity here: https://panterabch.medium.com/list/revealing-satoshi-nakamoto-cbc01ddaf0e9 I also publish the stories on readcash, however, the list option on Medium is perfect for this reason.
