Yes but it's been crawling up so slowly over the last week or so, that I can't decide if it's reassuring or annoying as hell.

Meanwhile, some new information suggests an Australian man named Craig Wright invented Bitcoin (along with his now-deceased friend David Kleiman) and is the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto.

Not long after that information was published, Mr. Wright's home was raided by the Australian authorities:

Of course, it wouldn’t be a true Bitcoin story with out a bit of drama thrown in for good measure. That said, The Guardian is reporting that Wright’s home was raided by Australian police following Gizmodo’s published report.

More than 10 police personnel arrived at the house in the Sydney suburb of Gordon at about 1.30pm. Two police staff wearing white gloves could be seen from the street searching the cupboards and surfaces of the garage. At least three more were seen from the front door.

Guardian Australia understands the raids are not related to the claims that Wright may have been involved in the creation of bitcoin, but are related to an Australian Tax Office investigation.

Interesting news indeed.

And since this information about Mr. Wright have been published, almost all of his social media accounts have been erased or made private.

Apparently it's a hoax, but we'll see.

In other news, the 30-day CNY/BTC volume is about $21 billion USD. $1.22 billion USD in the last day. Good times!  :Thmbsup:

Interesting. As I was reading about the news, I kind of had the feeling that he seemed very full of himself, and like maybe he was trying to con people into thinking he was Satoshi. But I'm not sure how much of that was my own intuition or the way the article(s) I read on the subject were written.


Cool to see BTC going up. :Thmbsup:
