He's an idiot.

All he needs to prove that he really is Satoshi is to spend just one Satoshi from Satoshi's stash of untouched bitcoins.

He hasn't done that. He's a frickin' imposter. Some failed idiot who likes to get various certifications under his belt so he can be voted the president of some computing group or the CEO of some technology corporation. He likes to think of himself as a gift to mankind. I have nothing but the utmost disgust for pathetic posers like him. He's like one of those loser managers who claim all the credit for the hard work of their subordinates. Just an opportunist. Nothing more.

Remember Chia which caused HDD prices to surge? Here's another pump & dump proving crypto miners are a blight cancer on this earth.

Qubic Cryptocurrency Mining Craze Causes AMD Ryzen 9 7950X Stocks to Evaporate

It looks like cryptocurrency mining is back in craze, as miners are firing up their old mining hardware from 2022 to cash in. Bitcoin is now north of $72,000, and is dragging up the value of several other cryptocurrencies, one such being Qubic (QBIC). Profitability calculators put 24 hours of...

I guess that is good for AMD stock?
If they can sell all their high end zen4 CPUs just before zen5 launch, retailers and AMD should be very happy. But it would also mean it will be very difficult to get your hands on the 8950X when it launches, if it has double the AVX512 performance as 7950X.

Sure, AMD shareholders love it, just like NV shareholders absolutely loved GPU scalpers.

If this continues, where do you think zen5 will go? Straight to scalpers and miners while prices explode. We've already seen this movie.

Sigh. Anyways, all the cool kids that want CPU compute at home are already on epyc. Ask @Markfw .

What's not to like about "free" computer hardware from AMD. At least, it's more reliable than MIRs.

So is now the time to buy AMD stocks? :p

But yeah it will suck for those who want the top end zen5 at launch.

Personally I'm waiting for zen7 launch so I hopefully can get a cheap zen6 X3D upgrade :)

Just saw that. I ALMOST feel bad... but he did screw over lot of people, possibly for life, with his fraud.

I would love if they went after the guy who did similar stuff with Quadriga CX. Skipped town to India with everyone's money and faked his death and shut the site down.
