CoinTelegraph publishes nonsense clickbait story claiming to receive e-mail from Satoshi

What an absolutely disgraceful article from CoinTelegraph today. The headline: "Satoshi Nakamoto Writes To CoinTelegraph About The Nobel Prize": http://cointelegraph.com/news/115901/sa ... obel-prize

This is nothing but worthless clickbait. No proof that it is Satoshi is provided, and an absurd claim that he is working on Ethereum is included, which likely points to a motive to pump Ether. The article claims that it is "signed" by Satoshi:

An interview with Vitalik from Ethereum is also in the article, so maybe you want to read it for that. But again, no PGP key or any evidence that it is Satoshi is presented, which makes the headline absolute BS.

The author basically could have told his friend to send him an e-mail claiming to be Satoshi and published an article about it and then shilling Ether. This is really a bizarre article.

Don't trust Cointelgraph with such shameless clickbait.

If you absolutely must read the fake e-mail then here:

that website was never the best news source

[CryptAxe]

Cointelegraph is a tabloid

The english in that email is atrocious. Satoshi had a completely different style.

Biggest red flag I ever saw right there.

[bitkilo]

No way would satoshi use a email provider like that for his first public comunication in years.
Im surprised cointelegraph would even run this.

Plus we all know his Australian now

I dont wish to look like a bad troll but CT turned to a very non-reliable source.

While I won't personally bash Cointele, because they did publish one article of mine, I will say one sentence caught my attention.

"Bitcoin was well launched in 2012, word was spreading, and it surely didn’t need any more attention from its creator."

Possibly they mean, Bitcoin was already successfully launched by 2012, and didn't need anymore attention.
