Coming to a theater near you, this Summer.
Considered to be a "brilliant" programmer with a strong C++ background - Most people would call you crazy if you attempted to put a 6 billion dollar prize behind an internet facing application without memory safety

Experience hiding identity both online and off
Millionaire - Satoshi never converted any of his btc fortune
Anti-authoritarian
Understands the benefits of digital currency - Has millions of dollars stacked in boxes
