Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?
Thank you Supreet, for inspiring me to investigate the identity of
Satoshi
Nakamoto.
I think I have guessed the true identity:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_sharpshooter_fallacy
This kind of cognitive blind-spot occurs when we ignore a huge set of data
and focus on a small subset of data.
Yet, we know so little about the Satoshi Nakamoto identity.
I have tried to account for all that we do know, however fallibly.
Some readers have brought to my attention, two other data points which I
did not know about.
1. Bitcoin was written in C++. Shinichi Mochizuki knows C++
2. Mochizuki wrote papers on elliptic curves, the basis of modern
cryptography.
The mystery deepens! ;-)
I invite everyone to join me on Twitter ( @purrperl ) to discuss this.
Cheers,
- Ashwin.
