    I pretty much see any person claiming to be nakamoto wether the claim is legitimate or not to be treated exactly as they are treating this guy. Governments In collusion with the military and prison industry profiteers who control all the major financial institutions want to do whatever they want with BTC’s blockchain technology and arent about to let any pesky copyright claims become a hindrance regardless of the validity or lack thereof.

      Nobody who understands the technology wants it. Blockchain is an extraordinarily wasteful and buggy solution to the distributed-ledger problem, with some appallingly bad privacy problems (pseudonimity is not anonymity). And the other technical features of the bitcoin implementation are even less novel.

      The only banks getting involved with cryptocurrency are doing it to get a piece of the grift. Governments have a legitimate interest in preventing money-laundering, and we’ve seen what happens when unprincipled people with money can pay off whoever they like. So your paranoia is misplaced.
