Nick Szabo fails to understand the history of money. He writes giant tomes on it, but does not have understanding that all historical money MUST have an asset that backs it. He fails to understand that Manhattan indian beads were a Proof of Work, as were the specific Californian seashells used as native money. His lack of understanding shows, bc he also doesn't understand Bitcoin. Therefore, he cannot possibly be Satoshi.

Hal Finney was a big part of making the original protocol work, and he deserves some credit. But he wasn't the visionary, that was Craig S Wright.
