Satoshi hasn't been known to have uttered a single word since 2010 and thus it can't have referred to Satoshi. Further the idea that one can simply ask Satoshi for his opinion, when he's disappeared for more than half a decade is also quite silly, unless you're completely uninvolved in bitcoin any know next to nothing about it. I assume that's why you were downvoted, because your suggestion adds nothing meaningful to the discussion and shows you lack some basic topic-specific knowledge and so it makes sense for your post to be less visible.

At least that's my assumption, I didn't downvote.



Satoshi is believed to have said something in 2014 regarding Dorian [1]. It would be reasonable for someone in the community to reach out to him and ask what he thinks. While they are at it, they should ask him about hard fork avoidance too.

Back to the point at hand, I still have no idea who Brian is talking about in his post. And, if one were to think about that in an uninvolved and meaningless way, perhaps it might add to the discussion.

Nobody really believes that was him, all it takes is a forged email to write that.

People reach out to him every day and he hasn't responded in half a decade.

And he's referring to Gavin (former lead) and Garzik. Look it up if you want.
