Do you think Satoshi Nakamoto was actually from the UK?

I’ve been going through Satoshi’s emails, forum posts, the Genesis Block message, and even some handwriting analysis people have done… and honestly, I’m starting to think the guy was probably British.

A few things stand out:

He consistently uses British spelling (colour, favour, analyse, etc.)

His writing style and phrasing feel very UK academic

The Genesis Block literally quotes The Times (London) with a headline about the UK Chancellor’s second bank bailout. The 2008 financial crisis clearly shaped his thinking.

His sleeping/active hours line up almost perfectly with UK time

Even some of the handwritten notes that leaked over the years have a very British feel to them.

And then there’s the part most people overlook. When Gavin Andresen got invited to speak to the CIA, Satoshi basically vanished. Right around the same time, Wikileaks was starting to consider using Bitcoin after all the PayPal/visa/mastercard blockades. Satoshi was openly nervous about that and said Wikileaks would “kick the hornet’s nest” and attract the wrong kind of attention.

Put all that together and it makes sense that if Satoshi really was just some UK or EU guy settled in UK, the last thing he’d want is governments—especially intelligence agencies—suddenly looking into who created this “unregulated digital money” right after a global financial meltdown.
