 Satoshi = “Intelligent one”
Nakamoto = “originating from the center” 
 Studying Japanese and oriental languanges, this is more correct:

satoshi = "def not peter"
nakamoto = "absolutely not Peter Todd you dumb fuck" 
 this is a more literal interpretation 
 Core intelligence? 
 🤷🤓 
 Ha! 
 I'd think more "Innovation from a central point of origin". 
 This is the "smoking gun" for idiots that think the CIA secretly invented bitcoin but then named it after themselves  
 there are no smoking guns. 
 then again, your assertion that you know something absolutely and calling people who don’t believe what you believe idiots, just makes you exactly like them. 🤷 
 You misunderstood. I don't know if the CIA is Satoshi or had anything to do with it. What makes someone an idiot is thinking that leaving a call sign behind like the "sticky bandits" in home alone is enough proof to say that the CIA is Satoshi.  
 There are a lot of kanji that can make "Satoshi" so that's a just guess

"Nakamoto" is always 中本
and that's an OK translation
