The US wants to punish the UK and could reassess its support for the UK over the Falkland Islands, potentially giving leverage to Milei’s claims over the islands. Guys, let's be clear: The Falkland Islands are British. And their people overwhelmingly voted to remain British.
I Just finished the Finding Satoshi film. This is my short review of the film. I make these comments as somone who has been studying Satoshi for more then a decade. @findingsatoshi_ is a beautiful tribute to @halfin BUT, that tribute conflates and omits key details that contribute to the final and accurate conclusion that Hal contributed code to Bitcoin before it launched. This was well known before this film was published. Nothing new. Unfortunately, this film omits the key emails on the cryptography mailing list in Nov 2008, and privately with Hal, that made this very obvious for any layman. The only New things I saw in this film were the various interviews, and the timing analysis shapes for Satoshi activity. The timing shape matching Satoshi with Len was interesting. Len being an anon advocate and in the PGP circles when RPOW was released is interesting. But not conclusive. Unfortunately, this film suffers from the same logical flaw as the recent New York Times article. They start with known candidates first and try to fit them in to Satoshi frame. When it's very likely Satoshi is an entirely unknown non public figure. Who by the way, could still be alive. One disturbing aspect of this film I found was that the investigators explicit intention to finger Satoshi via making them move coins somehow. Coupled with @lopp's participation in this film, and the recent publishing of BIP361 - which is a subtle threat to Satoshi to move his coins eventually, or risk them being frozen by this Fork proposal - We have a potential bad actor(s) self admitting their strategy in this film to force an action upon Satoshi, potentially via BIP361, whose author participates in the same film. The implied goal of getting Satoshi to move coins in current day to doxx Satoshi is something I find disturbing and repulsive. With all that said, this film does do justice to the cypherpunk lore and history. It does do justice to honoring Hal, who is worthy of it. And it may do justice in honoring Len, though I still find that inconclusive and a stretch with too few green flags. Though one further aspect this film serves is convincing the zeitgeist that Satoshi is dead, his coins are thus unmovable, goes the logic. I am not so sure though. I think these conclusions are useful for some people, maybe even for Satoshi, if they are still alive, or their family with the keys. Final conclusion. Good film, honors the right people, but no smoking gun, and a bit lacking in relevant primary source details (Nov 08 cryptography list emails).
