 If Satoshi is alive, he is sure on #nostr .. 

makes sense ? 

#askNostr 
 No I'm not, stop spreading unfounded rumors. 
 I never said it is you  .. but how is it a rumor ? A rumor is if I pointed someone ..  
 Huh? What do you mean you weren't talking about me? I thought that you were talking about Satoshi Nakamoto, inventor of Bitcoin. In any case, I'm definitely not a user on Nostr. 
 good one ..  
 Yes!
Don’t try to find him.
He is gone for ever….. 
 > gone for ever ! 

How do you know !  
 I don’t⚡️ 
 Maybe. But even knowing, he is, doesn’t help. It would be searching for a ghost nobody can see anyway. 
 Help what ?  
 I think people are concluding I am trying to spread a rumor .. nope ..

I just realized the primary purpose of encryption in #nostr  and #bitcoin are pretty similar - make messages  authentic, immutable and public .. and I thought a replica of her core design would sure attract him / her .. 
 Nah bro, he’s long done with being on sites, he’s moved on to other things 

He doesn’t want to take any chances

 I get you .. but the thought that #Satoshi is somewhere around on #nostr is so compelling to get back here .. in a way s/he is around ..cuz #nostr is a true decendent of their design choices ..albeit a different incarnation :-)
