RE: Could this Letter Hold the Key to Satoshi's Wallet? A Letter form Marcel Mellish to Charlie Shrem

in #story8 years ago

I really don't understand what is trying to be done here?

People are trying to decipher Satoshi Nakamoto's holdings to one of his wallets by deciphering a brainkey?

If that is true? Why would anyone want to steal his funds legitimately? Surely Satoshi deserves to own his wealth?

Or if I have this wrong, please explain. I feel clouded here.

Sort:  

The assumption that this is a brain wallet could be wrong. It could be a ROT13 type thing and say something outright without being related to financial stuff.

Assuming it's a brain wallet gives us a list of techniques to crack it.
Assuming it's a QR-Code gives us another list of techniques to break it.
Assuming it's a love letter written to Charlie by Wynona Ryder would give us another list of things to try out.

It could be ANYTHING. All we know is that it is not what it is trying to portray it is (a typical note from a paranoid schizophrenic delivered to a celebrity).

There is a reason I got this letter, just trying to figure it out.

His brilliance new that you will end up on a steem like blockchain!

To address the Satoshi wealth aspect of your question: We are assuming this is a secret message. Of all the crypto friends Charlie has the most secret is Satoshi Nakamoto. A little later Newsweek propped up Dorian Satoshi as the likely Nakamoto. He's in California. No cigar. At the same time fake Satoshi Nakamoto props up on Twitter. Uses same kinds of words in his bio (i.e. Pasquinade. He changes it regularly by the way). None of this helps elucidate the letter. Since then Craig Wright, seemingly a prankster, comes along. He is something else. Could he have pranked Charlie? He's not in California though.

Also, bear in mind that people were told ahead of time that Charlie would be arrested because there was press at JFK when he came home from Amsterdam. The letter seems to have been typed in 1 minute and mailed right then and there for it to show up magically in Brooklyn so fast... Or it was written with much advance knowledge of Charlie's unexpected arrest. It's really weird.
