Satoshi nakamoto could be tsutomu shimomura ... He apparantly had 200 iq ... Was very smart .. had multiple degrees.. he was a physicist mathematician who turned into a computer security expert.. he had all the means and capacity to do so.
And as you said he was much older than he stated approximately around 55-64 ... And guess what is shimomura s age .. 55 this year .
And the academic writing style perfectly matches shimomura .. as he was a student in cal tech .
Gavin graduated from. Princeton .. guess where shimomura graduated from ?
That's right Princeton.
Will you look into this?

@Ayaya yes.
I'm 36, when I went through British secondary school the double-space was still the expected norm and was actually part of the standard you were graded to in "ICT". Assuming his age has anything to do with a typewriter seems like a big flaw here. He was probably just working in academia pre-2005 or so. The ages he has posted online actually seem about right.
Agreed. I'm Canadian and around the same age. We were taught to use double spaces as well, although I did initially learn to type on a typewriter that my family had in storage. Regardless elementary school taught us to double-space.
Agreed
Yeah, assuming he must be older due to that typing format is one thing that didn't seem right for me either. I'm American and only 31, and throughout school until reaching college level MLA and APA were still taught with double-spaces after periods as the standard.
I lost editing marks with some teachers (not all) for not using double spaces after a full stop. I'm in my 20s.
Yeup. Kinda like the way nobody uses the word “ too “ anymore. It’s just “to”
"you've been invited to speak at a conference for the CIA"

The use of a double space after a period was so prolific amongst so many different professions to at least ~2010 that, if you were even just starting out as a secretary at a law firm or similar (where a high degree of professionalism is required in written communication) as late as the early 2000s, there's a good chance you'd have that muscle memory. It's absolutely not an indicator of age.
I still do it. That was the standard for typing classes in Jr high in the mid 1970s.
I'm a 90s kid and learned in 2023 that the double space isn't needed... I learned to type on a computer in elementary school, and it became so normal for me that it's weird for me to type any documents without the double space.
@@chuckeymurpheyI'm a 90's kid and other than playing on a typewriter for fun I've never "used" a typewriter.
I learned to type on a windows 95 computer and the double space was always required. All through school we were required to double space and we didn't even know what academic formatting was.
I didn't learn until 2020ish at the earliest that the double space was no longer required by pretentious academics.
The guestimation for the age is very faulty and doesn't make sense.
Given that the double space was all that was used to justify age dude could be any age between 100 to 18.
I was born in 1999 and I use double spacing because it is professional
I grew up in the USA, where I graduated high school in 1986. That was part of standard punctuation protocol back then. Only in 2004 was I told by a translation agency I was working for not to do that anymore.
i remember being 15 when i heard of bitcoin. it was at $60/btc and i was like "damn, i'd 100% buy one if i had $60"

@Swymco wasn't there a pretty large amount of coins moved from his wallet recently after remaining stagnant for many years? I'm pretty clueless about how all this works but I've been kinda touching base here n there with this whole phenomenon regarding bitcoins creator.

I stumbled upon the silk road video and now this. I'm just disappointed I have been missing this channel for so long. This is some of the best documentary and mystery solving content I have found on this platform yet
Before I'm going to watch the part two of this essay, I'm going to say this: Nakamoto using British English makes it much harder to identify them. Even nowadays British English is taught as default English in EU classrooms. Same goes for typewriters- in certain post-communist countries typewriters were used longer than in for example US because of economical hardships.
The version of *English* we speak in *England* probably should be the default ngl

A small tidbit, I'm 22 years old, and in my typing class in elementary school I was always taught to double space after periods. I still do this to this day when writing more formal papers/blog entries, etc.
jazzfestyz wut
Same here. I do it whenever I'm typing on a keyboard just because of habit. The only reason I dont do it on my phone is because I can double tap the spacebar to automatically add a period and space.
Oooo. Nice.

Theory: the people saying they dont know him do in fact know him but they all pinky promised him they wouldnt reveal so.
Thats exactly how I feel. There are people that know exactly who this person is but choose not to reveal their identity. Obviously a very bright person who was extremely cautious on who was in the inner circle.
Holy shit, when you look at it from that perspective is so fucking obvious in hindsight.
Telling someone you know such a person is a dangerous move on its own. After all, they don't need you alive, they just need the information you claim to have.

I'm pretty late to this, but regarding double spaces after periods at the end of sentences, I learned this in high school because we did MLA-style writing. This is anecdotal, but I feel like I'm probably not unique in this and I doubt it is evidence of much of anything.
Stuck out to me too as I only recently stopped using double spaces but otherwise some great info.
@leah rose Sure, I wasn't trying to discredit everything, I just felt like this particular point was super weak.
I think that most students did learn it at least as late as the 90s in middle/high school. (I have no idea how typing is taught nowadays.) However, it seems that a good percentage switched rather quickly to a single-space unless they either had to keep using a double-space, a personal preference kept them doing so, or it was so deeply ingrained that doing so would be an unnecessary amount of work. So, you are correct that it is super flimsy in and of itself, but it is at least a small clue that can be used to help piece together a potential identity.
Was taught this in high school until 2007.
Yeah, I'm a good ten years younger than Satoshi's claimed age and my mom taught me to use two spaces as a kid in the 90s. Still do to this day.
I LOVE NEXPO! Probably my favorite channel. I'm kinda new to barely sociable but loving the content so far. You're voice is smexy too.
Man, this is the best analysis on this case! Good job Barely Sociable
Theory: Satoshi is not just one person.
That was my first thought, I haven’t really done any deep research but idk why people assume it’s a single person
No theory Satoshi is and always was a CIA and multiple other agencies operation
Yeah that's most peoples' first thought. It's why Satoshi is frequently referred to as "the entity known as Satoshi" by people who discuss this a lot. There is frankly just as little evidence to prove it's multiple people as there is to prove it's just one, though.
@@ddcausey1 the CIA and other agencies made bitcoin? Let me ask you if it sounds plausible that an organization concerned primarily with information pertaining to foreign intelligence and covert operations would hand the keys to the public of a real life financial invisibility cloak? Bitcoin can be used by the very people the CIA want information on to obscure information.

Regarding typing with 2 spaces after a period: as a child in the early 2000s I was taught to type with 2 spaces after each period. It was just the normal setting for our typing-teaching software.

@Carson Carruthers it's funny because it's true
brother, you realize these videos were an amazing accomplishment in journalism.
2022 and i still read articles about how you are the guy who 'thinks' he solved this mystery of who satoshi is.... obviously you're right though... you have facts and actual proof - anyone who still would deny this must just not understand technology in the least (which is more people than you think. too many 'gamers' out there who think they're some kind of authority on basically everything computing but don't know d**k).
anyways, congratulations. i've been with you for a long time; for what it's worth, i have very few subscriptions and this is one of the few channels i respect outside the space of youtube. maybe ill see you on dread or something (which, right now, i think is experimenting with captcha because they're not allowing anyone to make new accounts).
btw, really looking forward to any content you might make regarding DeSnake's resurfacing and the new alpha bay that's been on the rise (again). I don't know much about the marketplaces; just some of the big names, but DeSnake is a personal hero - best of the best when it comes to web security and he has the utmost integrity,
might as well give a shout out to Orichand who is also a great mod and infosec specialist/former phreaker from dread.
thanks for great content. really great content.
Watched 4 of your videos...this the one that made me sub. Thank you.
To be honest, the whole British angle looks like an intelligent way of hiding further. One of the easiest ways you could disguise yourself typing wise, with barely any consciously maintained effort, would be to just switch a spell-check program to use British English corrections. If someone is as smart as he (or she / they) seems to be, then I seriously doubt they'd be careless enough to not realize that personal projection clues online were something to stamp out early. I'm not as sure about the word spacing though, that does smell more of a muscle memory thing.
Exactly, and if he went this far to cover his identity this would be something that would for sure cross his mind doing.
@@joshcolbert5613 Exactly, well said.
I mean there would still be an effort to maintain the linguistic disguise since spell-check isn't perfect and depends on the context. There would be traces IMO. Also the typing wasn't the only evidence BS showed us, the references and the mail list general public says a lot also. Idk, guess I'll have to check part 2
Could be female. Best way to anonymize urself is to use a different race and gender for your alias.
Keep in mind that foreigners also learn the language in British. Although, there are other clues pointing out to the UK besides the linguistics.

On the use of a double space after a period: I only just got out of the habit of doing so within the last year or two when I learned it wasn't recommended anymore, and I'm in my 20s. A lot of older typing teachers and professors assume it to still be the norm and expect it, so I assume there are plenty still passing it on to younger people. I was also taught to spell in "British" English because I'm Canadian. It's the standard in most English-speaking countries outside of the US.
Love the intro track. Thanks for adding it to the details.
Plot twist: barely sociable is Satoshi Nakamoto.
You onto something
never seen them in the same room together. Coincidence? I think not.
@Blue Shrek imagine the waiting list for that....
Much simpler theory for the double spaces after full stops: he was taught to do so in school, long after computers were commonplace. Plenty of places still cling to this outdated style. The typewriter theory is extremely shaky.
SexWarrior I am not even forty and I learned to type on a typewriter both at home and at school. I exclusively used a word processor at home by the end of Junior High but my school still had us use typewriters.
I dont understand why it would be considered outdated; it is perfectly acceptable.
@@CGoody564 The reason behind that style guideline was to improve readability with monospace fonts (typewriters being an obvious example, but not the only one). Modern word processors already take care of this for you, and throwing in redundant spaces can only cause harm, not good.
Of course, in practice any word processor worth its salt will just ignore this practice and space the sentences identically either way.
Also, analysis of writing styles has been known to be a tool that law enforcement has used since the Unabomber was discovered, so Satoshi would have been aware that running anything he wrote through an easily accessible translation software like Google Translate would strip out any semantic correlation that could be used to identify him.
Yeah, I was taught to double space and I'm in my 20s. That whole section felt like a huge reach
The double space thing.. in the 90’s everyone was taugh to double space.s I remember in my elementary school typing classes back in 2004 we were taught to double space.. also typewriters are way older than you think they are.
I know this isn't relative to the topic but I just wanted to thank you for including that EVA song in the beginning, I'm a huge synthwave fan and he's actually local to me (Philly) so I get a kick out of seeing him pop up here and there. His work is fantastic.
The issue I take with the Typewriter theory is most early word processing software like word perfect required double spacing after periods
Word Perfect is a special case: It was originally developed by and for the legal profession. Legal paperwork has strict standards of formatting... including double-space after periods.
I was taught to use double spacing after a full stop, in Australia, presumably in school in the 90s. I was born in 1984 and have never used a typewriter, so I dunno. I also use british English/spelling, so I wouldn't read too much into those clues.
i think "satoshi nakamoto" and the cicada guys both stem from the same berkeley university crypto group
Soundtorial ;)
What is interesting to note is that the "winners" in one of the cicada challenges were eventually invited to a TOR hidden forum where they were asked to develop a "privacy project" and later on they agreed to try to build a encrypted , decentralized version of a deadman's switch. The project was never started or completed from my understanding as everyone eventually left and the forum was taken offline.
@@joshn2342323 That is rumor tho, can't be verified

Now that i am thinking there is another youtuber summoning salt. Probably brothers lol 'barely social' and 'summoning salt' compleetly different topic do. Thanks for the vid! ;)
I still use two spaces after a period and I was born in 1990. So satoshi could be 30.
Yeah, I am 38 and I still instinctively double space after periods on a keyboard. I think that would be pretty normal for someone of his supposed age that had some college education.
i do too and im 18 xjdkch i dont know where i picked it up. its a good idea but i think its worth mentioning that some schools are very. very. slow to change
In only 21 and I go outvod my way to do it whenever I can. Deadass.
Yeah i was born in 1990 and in elementary and jr high and high school lol i was taught to dbl space after a sentence and that used to actually put the peiod in for you
I think that he does bring up a valid point when connecting it to the other idiosyncracies of communication, though. Particularly when connecting it to other british-isms. Plus it was a possibility.

I know I’m way behind on this story: my husband was a very accomplished IT/Data Management professional for 35 years at the same company. We were married 33 years, until he died unexpectedly a little over 3 months ago. 2 weeks before he died, a close cousin of mine came to visit, and while he was here, he asked my husband his opinion of investing in cryptocurrency? My husband told him that we would not be doing that, it’s far too risky. He always was a bit ahead of the curve, working hard to stay at the cutting edge of IT, since his job was so, so competitive. I’m so grateful for the time we had, the things he taught me, but I miss my better, smarter half.🙏😢💕

p.s. Srew youtube. Really.
Thought you might like to know that your age guess hit my age perfectly. I learned to type in high school on a manual typewriter, and have the double space ingrained too deeply to change now. Good work!
One of my new favorite channels for Sure.
I'm a 30 year old from Canada (that sounded like a dating ad) and I was taught through my public school system to double space after periods to the point that it is subconscious now. Also, we do type with British spelling in Canada, although I do think the British angle is a stronger angle than the typewriter angle. Different school systems normalize different aspects of grammar.
Same. I'm older but have never used a typewriter beyond novelty use. Even in typing class (with computers) we always learned double spaces between sentences and I still prefer it.
I'm 21 from California, I like long walks on the beach and I'm a Pisces, I think. Or an aquarium
I'm 34 from the US and I use double space after periods and colon marks by muscle memory. I don't think it's that unusual at all. I remember talking about this amongst friends once and most only use single space, but it wasn't unheard of for people around the same age to use double space.

great sequel. marvelous work, yet again. made me positive on blockstream. tks.
I'm 38 and had "keyboarding" classes in middle school and high school (so, late 90s to mid 00s), and we were specifically taught double spacing after periods. Many word processors had this as a default setting that I bet still exists. Between how kids were taught, and how many professions kept the convention for decades, I can't imagine anyone under 25 thinking of the double space as particularly kooky.
With respect to the full stop or period. That style is also called "Service writing" and is used by the British military.
David Watkins hmm are you satoshi?
Does this imply Satoshi may be Mi6?
The “british english” can be applied to most British colonies
So India, Canada, Hong Kong, the eastern United States, South Africa, British Guyana, Australia, New Zealand, etc. that’s true but they have individual variations. Not to say you are wrong, I lived in counties that were British colonies, but they have virations from what I have seen in Britain.
Grey ideas the The liopurodon4x bubblesorg king yah but the variations he mentions apply to most, and i know, im from New Zealand.
william 7141 agreed
@@greyideasthetheliopurodon4640 true! British writing and aussie writing are almost exactly the same. But in australia many people still use much more british english than australian english. Varies from person to person and region to region. Same goes for nz and south africa. Satoshi could be paul salotshi de la roux from zimbabwe / south africa
As a Canadian we mostly use British words and spellings but not necessarily all the grammar rules (like whether punctuation goes in or out of quotations). I do recall being taught double spaces after periods though. And there’s dialectical differences but British and Canadian English are much more alike than Canadian and American English are, in my opinion (I had to relearn a lot of spelling moving between Canada and the US)
really goof video and channel. absolitely enjoyed it.
Something tells me this might have been covered in the thousands of comments, but you missed a third category of people who always double-space: U.S. federal employees. Possibly other governments use them as well, but it would be funny if there were like only one UK-origin person on that mailing list who also had a federal job for a long time to pick up the habit.
Yep, I said it and then saw this. Thank you
This channel is very underrated. That was one of the best half hour vids I've seen.
If dissing Eminem is like f*cking with Gordon in his kitchen, what would be the car culture equivalent of dissing Eminem?
You really misuse underrated if you think 280k subs and 7.2k likes on a day old video is "underrated."
BS first posted in what, October? He broke 50k w/in 3 wks or so I think. Madness.
He’s being rated at a pretty appropriate clip, I would say.
Agreed. I've seen worse documentaries on professionally produced television.
I was born in '79, and I learned to type on a typewriter, so it's not that unusual. You have to factor in that school systems wouldn't get updated as fast in rural areas and places where the school budget was smaller. I think it's very likely he learned on a typewriter. For what it's worth, I also almost always put two spaces after a period, and that originates from my typewriter typing class in 8th grade. EDIT: I also want to point out he may not have spell checking software at all. When we finally got access to computers in my high school years, we were taught to proof read everything multiple times, and as a result to this day I still do not use spell checking and tend to have few, if any, spelling errors.
I was taught to type on a computer in a public elementary school in the 90's in Los Angeles county and was specifically told to put two spaces after every sentence. The only time I ever used a typewriter was in the workplace in 2015 to type up address labels and have virtually no experience typing letters or essays on a typewriter. I feel the conclusions this video draws to be extraordinarily strange because I was never told to use one space after sentences despite being a millennial, and yet somehow this is evidence the man must have come from well before my generation?
jesus please stop double spacing after every period. It’s so annoying. Makes me feel like youtube is in its early programming days. (I put 4 spaces after every period, so you know how it feels like. )
came here to say, that was an odd part of the video. maybe they are right, but I do it because that's how books always look and looked. And using a single space is like writing "u r amazing." fine for a text message, but just no for forums and what-not. Though I have gotten tired of capitalizing first words of sentences.
Two spaces after periods , ? Or ! Marks & doubles spaces on CPU essays.
But the type writer was mad different! That was pin point creative journalism 🙂 and a waste of paper if you wanted to be exact

Hey, I am 30 years old. I am college educated, and I went to a fairly prestigious university ('public ivy', some would say). If I am typing on a computer, I ALWAYS put two spaces after a period. I learned to type on a laptop with blacked out keys, not a typewriter. APA and MLA drilled the habit and I never changed it--I only drop the habit when I am using my phone to type. I believe the assertion this mystery man is older than he says he is conjecture. Otherwise, I like your video. Keep up the good work.
Side note--I went back to graduate school when APA changed the rule to one space after a period. It drove me insane. I remember going though and meticulously fixing all the double spaces.

pov: you're reading all the comments about "double spacing after periods" before its mentioned in the video.
2 of my favorite TH-camrs in one video. OMFG XD. No but really, you two create such a good content.

So... you're saying there's actually a decent chance that Mr. Bean and the father of bitcoin are the same person.
The first mistake was assuming he's older and must have used a typewriter, there are many reasons for everything. Maybe the software or career choice built up the habit of double spacing, maybe his mum or dad taught him, maybe he was learning law prior to software developing. You dove too deep into one assumption and now everything else will be based on that assumption.
yes!! When I was in business classes a few years back I was taught to type that way on a computer for business memos lol
I'm in my mid 30's and we were taught, in both middle and high school, to use double space between sentences.
I was born in 81, learned to type in 92 when I got my first computer. Was told early on you double space after the end of a sentence. I didn't question it. Why would I? So I've been typing with double spaces for 29 years. Apparently I'm lying an actually 60? I've only just found this channel and it was highly recommended; I sure hope this isn't a good example of the research he puts into his videos.
@@Veladus I've seen most of his videos and this is the first time I've been like, "Naw, I know what he's saying there is just wrong". Nobody is perfect, butI'd say this guy is more perfect than most.
Yeah, echoing was others have said, I was born in 1983, the first computers I used in school (when they were even available) were very simplistic era machines. The use of double spacing after a period was still taught, and the reason then was the same reason as from the typewriter era -- clarity when using monospaced fonts. I actually also had a "muscle memory" to double-space after periods for quite a few years until I eventually caught on that dynamic width fonts commonplace today are clear enough without doing that. (I was probably also nagged about it by early versions of MS Word.)
Per the video, at best it just makes the point inconclusive... guy COULD have been raised on typewriters, but he also could've just used computers in the 80s / early 90s when that practice was still in use.
1:24 you didn't lose your money however you technically you kind of lost your money 😂😂😂
I get a sense that this guy, Barely sociable is a absolute genius . The way he researches, delivers, and to spot and point out trivial points throughout the video really is very impressive.
The "double space after a period" point is interesting. I was born in the late 80's, and my first typing education in school was on these little personal electronic keyboards with a two line LCD display, that could be plugged into a computer or electronic typewriter. My 3rd grade teachers taught us it was proper to use two spaces after a period, and I used proper spelling, capitalization and punctuation with this spacing throughout my teenage years online without fail (muscle memory, indeed) until I got to college and my professors actually started to mock me for this double spacing habit, so I abandoned it after a few months of constantly paying attention and modifying it. I also then started to worry far less about capitalization and using abbreviations and acronyms. I also used British spelling for colour, favourite, and neighbour, despite being born and raised in the Pacific Northwest US, largely because I used to play a MUD (telnet game, mutli-user dungeon) with a lot of British spelling influence. It still slips through sometimes; I still spell favourite and neighbour like that, but not color so often anymore.
re: the double space thing, even people my age (24) learned to double space after a period, because they were taught by those who did that. it's uncommon, but i know a handful of peers that still do that. i don't think it's fair to say that he cannot possibly be 44 now because he uses double spaces after a period.
good video though! i'm excited for part 2!
Same here, I felt it wasn't a very strong conclusion for this reason. I learned to double space after periods from my mom (who learned on a typewriter) and never encountered any resistance all the way through college. I do it no matter what I'm writing at this point, as it's completely ingrained.
Yeah. I thought that double spacing after a period was how you're always supposed to do it until I found out otherwise from watching this very video. I even do it when writing by hand. I'm 22. |:
Yeah, I'm 44 and double spacing was how my generation was taught. I specifically remember that we were marked down in school for single spacing after a sentence all the way through high school.
Well if it’s rare then it still might narrow it down
I'm 34 and I've never heard of it. Maybe it depends where you live
In regards to the typewriter section, the way I was taught to type as a kid in school on a computer keyboard was to space twice after a period. It simply could be that Nakamoto was taught the same way and carried it with him. I'm only 25 but in the 90s and early 2000s it was common to be taught this way even on a computer.
Wonderful 3 part documentary!
Quite a fascinating videosir. I will say I was taught to double-space at the end of a sentence in the late 80's. That still held on for a while. I miss it haha! Definitely interested in Pt. II.
Great video as always. Just throwing this out there though: I was born in '80. We were taught double spacing for a long time after computers were available. I still fight not doing it every time I type, and often do it anyway on auto-pilot. I think it took a bit for them to realize it wasn't necessary maybe. He MIGHT be his stated age.
TinyGreenTurtles i agree with this. had a similar conversation with some coworkers.
I'm so glad that you actually know where the apostrophe goes in '80, unlike most people-- who remember that an apostrophe is involved but can't remember exactly where. Complicated stuff, apparently.
@@loljustice31 haha that's a pet peeve of mine!
I’m really curious as to how many hours you have to invest into each video. Not only are your videos high quality and amazingly edited, but the research and facts you include are so fuckin detailed. You’re easily one of the most underrated and under recognized channels on TH-cam. I respect this so much man ✊
Yup, mindblowingly good 👍
For an answer-ish?
Kyle hill, a person with similar levels of quality content but with sciences instead has gone on record that it takes a full 40-50 hour work week just to research +script+ record and then another week more to have his editors add effects for a 15-20 minute video.
So hope that gives a timeframe for how much goes in to these ^^
With the advent of OpenAI and ChatGPT, maybe far less time is needed now.
Im so used to listening to Nexpo and Sociable's voicss that I didnt even realize narrators switched until the very end!
I've always been very into mystery/ conspiracy type stuff, but even though I'm young I'm totally out of touch with stuff that happens on the internet for the most part. I like this channel because it introduces me to mysteries I never knew existed and then explains them all in one lol.
"...and that's when Satoshi Nakamoto comes in"

*Nexpo takes over narrative*
Gotcha.
i'm in my 40's and we were all taught double spacing in high school back in the mid 90's. N.Y. State.
Same, and I'm 29. Also NY
I’m 44 and didn’t even know that double spacing was no longer a thing until I was editing my college age daughters paper!
I'm sixteen and learned double-spacing in kindergarten. None of my teachers past that ever enforced it, I don't really know why it's stuck with me for this long.
I'm 52 years old and had a lot typing and typesetting classes in the 80s and went on to do desktop publishing (graphic art) for years. 2 spaces after the end of every sentence is outdated now, but that was still the standard back then. In fact we had it drilled into our heads so much that sometimes I occasionally still do it. That would be a dead giveaway on someone's approximate age. And the sort of jobs they were involved in.
YO I remember Crypto Nick, who was involved with the Bitconnect scam haha. Btw, great video! I learned so much here
