I think these statistics are all BS. If you took away all of the game playing involved in defining poverty and then measured the total number of people in the world living in poverty after our massive population growth over the last decades, you will find that the sum of human misery due to poverty is by far the highest it has ever been and is only increasing.
But this way a bunch of self righteous people like Gates and Pinkerton can play statistical games and say everything is great. No, it's great for them.
How do you watch that video and think it's a sign that things are going well? That's idiocracy level of discourse. My take away from that video is that the UK had much more serious problems than I realized.
I feel like Hal Finney and Nick Szabo were the two people who seem plausible and the fact that Hal and Satoshi were on different IP addresses that day seems to me like it's not Hal.
So for me it feels pretty much settled that Satoshi is Szabo.
Sure, I absolutely think they should pursue it. I'm just saying, say the guy is rich once. You didn't even need to say it once, 95% of everyone reading knows very well that he is rich as hell. I don't need a visual to explain to me that 5 Billion is more than 30k
Wow they sure try to sledgehammer the fact that thiel has a lot of money here with the first 3 paragraphs and visuals making sure that you understand that 5 billion is in fact a lot of money.
