In 2014, Newsweek doxxed Dorian Nakamoto, an unassuming senior, as the creator of bitcoin. The bumbling Dorian, who claimed never to have heard of the digital currency, was besieged by journalists for days, prompting him to plot a harassment lawsuit. As introductions to bitcoin go, Dorian’s was hellish. And yet, three years on from the false dox, something strange has happened: Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto has embraced the bitcoin life and assumed the persona of his faceless namesake.
At Bitconf 2017, a gathering of bitcoin luminaries and blockchain startups held on December 4-5 in Colombia, there were the usual faces including veteran cryptographer Nick Szabo. Also in attendance was an elderly Japanese-American whose hobbies include model trains and who has struggled to find work for the past decade, save for brief stints as a laborer, poll-taker, and substitute teach. Dorian S. Nakamoto.How did the man once misidentified as the creator of bitcoin wind up thousands of miles from home at a bitcoin conference? A man who was once forced to issue a statement through his lawyer noting:
Newsweek’s false report has been the source of a great deal of confusion and stress for myself, my 93-year old mother, my siblings, and their families.
In the three years since Dorian was misidentified as Satoshi, a lot has happened to bitcoin. And a lot has happened in the life of the now 67-year-old who got off on the wrong foot with bitcoin. In the intervening years, Dorian’s stance on the cryptocurrency has softened. At the fifth annual Bitconf in Bogotá, Dorian Nakamoto looked relaxed. He seemed to be relishing his role as the fake Satoshi, and even attended a press conference with the event’s organizers.
There, he shared his perspective on winding up unexpectedly as the face of the world’s hottest digital currency. Dorian recalled the first time he learned of bitcoin, after son Erick contacted him to report that a journalist had been digging into his background. He added:
[They] approached my wife and asked her personal things. And I did not like it when they approached my children later. Why would I involve my children? I am not a superstar, I am not a public person…I believe in freedom of expression, but I do not believe that the media should take a person from his private life and wash his dirty laundry, including my medical history, including my recent battle with cancer.
Now We can be very grateful for the exchange platforms’ appearance ; the expansion that the cryptoworld is now knowing can only be withstood with strong and reliable teams. But the rules are the rules, and except for Bitcoin, there hasn’t been any other way to trade other cryptocoins except on exchanges, and with very limited options, along with extensive charges and ever-longer pending demands. That time is over.Two months ago, Cointal jumped into the cryptocurrency market and provided the entire world with the ability to acquire 4 cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, and Litecoin), with any payment method, without any complication, verification, deposit or withdrawal limits.Cointal desires to restore the crypto-freedom, in compliance with the laws and regulations in force, and allows the cryptoworld to freely trade any available coins against either any another digital currency, or a very long list of payment facilities. The website is running smooth, the team is ecstatic and always at the user’s service, they will now pick up the pace and enhance their platform even further.Cointal has announced that they will be progressively listing 11 cryptocurrencies, and have now made Bitcoin Cash the first new cryptocurrency to be available, Person-to-Person, instantly.Users now dispose of a lightning-fast wallet over Cointal, provided and secured by BitGo, for Bitcoin Cash. You can now buy and sell Bitcoin Cash over Cointal.com, with your own terms, freely.Respecting the program is the most notable perk of the company. As they have promised during prior Press Releases, 3 winners already shared 10.000 USD worth of Bitcoin, and the Cointal Builder features are maintained and still running, involving free trades for the users.During these 2 months, Cointal has generated some interesting stats, involving a Total Trades volume beyond 8.32M USD, a total of 8.000 users, among them 2.389 users have claimed and enjoyed their Cointal Builder advantages (Including, but not limited to, free trades), involving users around more than 2596 cities in the world. Their presence is described as remarkable over the social networks, and no user has been left behind. Their support team is available 24/7 over their Intercom Live Chat, and has scored a median time response of 1.6 minute, becoming the quickest and most helpful platform in the market as of late.The team has announced too that they will be making their new program, called Unity, available very soon. Users will be able to buy directly from Cointal, with Credit/Debit card, Bank Transfer and PayPal, all the cryptocurrencies listed on their website, in a addition to an office in Belgium and a bank account to prepare for the SEPA transfers on Unity.It should take a couple of weeks until it goes live, but they guarantee to keep their promise of security, stability and swiftness, as they have proved themselves worthy of their current users’ trust, in such a short time-lapse.To top it off, and to show their community spirit, a 25.000 XRP (Ripple) giveaway was live for anyone benefiting of their Affiliate Program, giving to the users a nice passive income of 0.4% on their referrals’ sales and a 10 XRP bonus when either buying or selling. The actual traders could benefit of 40 free XRP when either buying or selling too.Cointal is heading, after listing Bitcoin Cash, towards the implementation of IOTA and NEM. Since Bitcoin Cash only took them a week, we could expect Cointal to be a new flourishing market to help the digital assets go into the mainstream. Their program is very rich in features, and the community can only be welcoming them as soon as they get the coding phase dealt with.As a welcoming gift to their active community, they will be offering 100 Ledger Nano S devices to the active users having surpassed 10.000,00 USD worth of trading volume, for free. Cointal’s aim is to establish a trusted community with whom their vision of freedom will be carried forth.To get started over https://cointal.com, you will simply have to watch their explanatory video:

US States Hostile to Bitcoin
“Conflicting information about Bitcoin abounds,” Mr. Galvin continues, “with some calling it a ‘craze’ or a ‘bubble’ and others touting it as an amazing investment.” Why anyone would refer to such a scheme “as an amazing investment,” in light of his pronounced protestations to the contrary, isn’t made clear by the Secretary. Indeed, it is also not known how the man holding the ancestral office of Samuel Adams has determined bitcoin to be a bubble. Readers are left with only an appeal to authority, his — an authority found to be not in compliance with voting laws back in 2008 by yet another authority, the Department of Justice. Mr. Galvin demonstrates his cryptocurrency illiteracy in point 6, curiously asserting the blockchain “is still experimental and is subject to changes, errors, or criminal activity which could adversely affect your virtual wallet or erase your Bitcoin value.” Back in 2014, bored Massachusetts state officials also issued warnings about bitcoin. It’s a way for them to attempt relevancy, the “do something” phenomenon so prevalent in US bureaucratic circles.It joins Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, New Mexico, New York, and Washington as more or less hostile to bitcoin, though no legislation, as of this writing, has been proposed by Massachusetts.Neighboring state, New Hampshire, has taken a completely different approach. Its Governor signed into law provisions exempting bitcoiners from ever having to be licensed to trade. The state actively encourages bitcoin businesses.
